  • Total Time: 6 hours 15 minutes to 8 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds of beef sirloin or chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Begin by trimming any excess fat from the beef and cutting it into equally sized bite-sized chunks. Season generously with salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the beef chunks until browned on all sides. Transfer to the slow cooker.
  3. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with minced garlic. Pour this mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.
  4. Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 6-8 hours until the beef is tender and juicy.
  5. Once cooked, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the beef with herbs and spices overnight before cooking.
  • Optional: Sear the beef in batches for a deeper caramelized flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months, ensuring the beef is properly sealed.
