These Tender Garlic Butter Beef Bites in the Slow Cooker are incredibly tender, rich with garlic butter flavor, and require minimal hands-on time. Perfect for busy weeknights or cozy weekend dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 6–8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Beef: Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch cubes. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Sear the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef cubes in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until deeply browned. Use tongs to flip.
  3. Make the Garlic Butter Base: Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up browned bits from the pan.
  4. Assemble in Slow Cooker: Transfer seared beef to the slow cooker. Pour garlic butter sauce over the beef. Sprinkle dried thyme and rosemary on top. Stir gently to coat.
  5. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until beef is fork-tender.
  6. Finish and Serve: Use a slotted spoon to transfer beef to a serving platter. Spoon some of the remaining sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Searing the beef is crucial for flavor; do not skip it. Cut beef into even 1-inch cubes for uniform cooking. Use fresh garlic for best results. For a thicker sauce, make a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) and stir into hot sauce after cooking, then cook on HIGH for 10-15 minutes.
