Instructions

01
Pat beef cubes dry with paper towels. Season all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and dried thyme.
02
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef cubes in batches, browning all sides, about 6-8 minutes total per batch. Transfer to slow cooker.
03
Season halved baby potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add to slow cooker with the seared beef.
04
In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, lemon juice, rosemary, oregano, and red pepper flakes if using.
05
Pour the garlic butter mixture over the beef and potatoes in the slow cooker. Gently toss to coat everything evenly.
06
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until beef is fork-tender and potatoes are cooked through.
07
About 30 minutes before serving, check seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
08
Just before serving, stir in cold butter pieces to create a glossy, rich sauce. The residual heat will melt the butter perfectly.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley, chives, and thyme leaves. Gently toss to distribute herbs throughout.
10
Serve immediately in bowls, spooning the flavorful cooking juices over each serving.
11
Garnish with additional fresh herbs, Parmesan cheese if desired, and serve with lemon wedges.
