Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by cutting the beef stew meat into bite-sized chunks, ensuring they're even for uniform cooking.
  2. Wash and chop the potatoes into similar-sized pieces, preferably about 1-2 inches.
  3. In your slow cooker, toss in the beef chunks alongside the chopped potatoes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and pats of butter, then season with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs.
  5. Mix everything well to ensure the ingredients are coated in the flavors.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on LOW for 6-7 hours.
  7. Check the beef and potatoes around the 6-hour mark; they should be tender.
  8. For a thicker sauce, remove the lid 20-30 minutes before the cooking time is up.
  9. Once cooking is complete, give everything a gentle stir and serve warm.
