# Instructions:

Cut 2 lbs boneless beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes. Halve or quarter 1 1/2 lbs baby Yukon gold potatoes. This initial prep is crucial for your Easy Crockpot Garlic Butter Beef Bites with Potatoes, ensuring even cooking.
02 -
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted), 6 cloves garlic (minced), 1 cup low-sodium beef broth, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 1 tsp dried rosemary. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined.

Place the cubed beef and prepared potatoes into a 6-quart (or larger) crockpot. Pour the garlic butter sauce evenly over the beef and potatoes. Season generously with 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
04 -
Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 6 hours (360 minutes), or until the beef is fork-tender and the potatoes are soft. For the best Easy Crockpot Garlic Butter Beef Bites with Potatoes, avoid lifting the lid too often.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider searing the beef cubes in a hot skillet with a little oil before adding them to the crockpot. This creates a delicious crust.

Feel free to substitute other small, waxy potato varieties like red potatoes. If you don't have fresh garlic, 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder can be used as a substitute.
