Description

This easy high protein slow cooker garlic butter beef bites recipe is a must-try for anyone craving a satisfying meal without spending hours in the kitchen. The combination of tender beef and rich garlic butter is simply irresistible!

Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup beef broth, low sodium
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Beef: Start by cutting the beef chuck roast into bite-sized pieces. Aim for uniform size so they cook evenly.
Season the Beef: In a large bowl, toss the beef pieces with salt, pepper, and thyme. This step builds the flavor right from the start.
Combine Ingredients: Place the seasoned beef in the slow cooker. Add the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Give it a gentle stir to combine.
Add Butter: Distribute the butter pieces evenly on top of the beef mixture. This will melt and create a luscious sauce.
Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, depending on your schedule. The longer, the better for tender beef!
Check for Doneness: About 30 minutes before serving, check the beef. It should be fork-tender and infused with flavor. Stir gently to coat the beef bites with the melted garlic butter.
Serve: Once done, serve the beef bites hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy it as is or over rice, mashed potatoes, or even zucchini noodles!

Notes

For a dairy-free option, consider using olive oil instead of butter. If you like a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last hour of cooking to let some moisture evaporate.
