Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs beef (cut into bite-sized pieces) Make sure your beef is halal-certified.
  • 4 tablespoons garlic butter Can be substituted with regular butter and minced garlic if necessary.
  • 1 lb baby potatoes (halved) Regular potatoes cut into chunks can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for garnish Fresh parsley Added at the end for a fresh touch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cutting the beef into bite-sized pieces and dicing the onion.
  2. Halve the baby potatoes so they can cook evenly.
Sautéing
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the garlic butter.
  2. Once melted, add the beef pieces to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper and sear them on all sides.
Slow Cooking
  1. Transfer the seared beef into the slow cooker.
  2. Add the chopped onion and halved baby potatoes on top.
  3. Pour in 2 cups of beef broth and add the remaining garlic butter. Stir everything gently to combine.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Serving
  1. Just before serving, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a fresh touch.

Notes

The beef should be well-seared to avoid too much moisture. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to retain steam. This dish makes great leftovers; store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months.
