Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef stew meat with salt and pepper, then sear in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to slow cooker.
  2. Melt four tablespoons of unsalted butter in the skillet, add minced garlic, and sauté for about 1 minute. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up the browned bits. Stir in dried thyme and rosemary, then pour over the beef in the slow cooker.
  3. Add 1.5 pounds of halved baby potatoes to the slow cooker, ensuring they're well-coated with the sauce. Place additional pats of butter on top.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until beef is tender and potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving warm.
