Description
A hearty meal of tender steak and baby potatoes cooked slowly in a flavorful butter sauce, perfect for busy days or gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chuck roast or sirloin tips
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (Yukon gold or red), halved
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup beef broth
Instructions
- Mix the softened butter, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chives, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to form the cowboy butter.
- If you want, sear the steak in a skillet for 2–3 minutes on both sides to lock in the flavor.
- Place the halved potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Put the steak on top of the potatoes and spoon the cowboy butter over the entire dish.
- Pour the beef broth around the sides of the slow cooker to add moisture.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 360–480 minutes or on HIGH for 180–240 minutes until the steak is nice and tender.
- If you want a thicker sauce, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water) during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Serve the steak and potatoes on a platter, spoon the sauce on top, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the steak overnight with the cowboy butter mixture. You can also add other vegetables like carrots or onions for added nutrition.
