Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef stew meat cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 pounds potatoes cut into chunks (use Russet, Yukon Gold, or red potatoes)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter sliced
- 1 ounce onion soup mix 1 packet
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup beef broth low sodium
- black pepper to taste
- salt to taste (optional)
- fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the potato chunks at the bottom of your slow cooker. Add the beef stew meat on top of the potatoes. Sprinkle the entire packet of onion soup mix evenly over the meat and potatoes. Add the minced garlic on top. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Go easy on the salt initially, as the onion soup mix can be salty.
- Distribute the sliced butter evenly over the top of the ingredients. Pour the beef broth over everything. This is optional but recommended for a richer sauce and to prevent drying. Toss everything, this is optional.
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
- Once cooked, gently stir the mixture to combine the flavors. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness.

Notes
- Cut the potatoes into even chunks so they'll cook through evenly. Smaller pieces will get softer, while larger ones hold their shape better.
- If your sauce is thinner than you'd like, mash a few potato chunks into the sauce to thicken it naturally.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning after cooking, especially the salt, as the onion soup mix adds a lot of flavor.
