A delicious and easy meal combining tender steak with rich cowboy butter and wholesome baby potatoes, perfect for family dinners 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

  1. Mix the softened butter, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chives, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to create the cowboy butter.
  2. Sear the steak in a skillet for 2–3 minutes on both sides (this step is optional).
  3. Place the halved potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. Put the steak on top of the potatoes and spoon the cowboy butter over the entire dish.
  5. Pour the beef broth around the sides of the slow cooker for extra moisture.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours until the steak is soft and tender.
  7. If you like a thicker sauce, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water) during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  8. Serve the steak and potatoes on a platter, spoon the sauce on top, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Always use quality beef for better flavor. Customize herbs according to your taste. Don’t skip the beef broth to keep the meat moist.
