Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Pat the beef cubes completely dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the beef in batches until a deep brown crust forms on all sides, then transfer the seared beef to the slow cooker.
  3. Pour the beef broth into the bottom of the slow cooker to deglaze any browned bits. Stir the beef gently to coat.
  4. Cover and cook on Low for 3 to 4 hours (or High for 2 hours) until the meat is tender.
  5. Switch the slow cooker to the 'Warm' setting. Stir in the melted butter and minced garlic.
  6. Gradually fold in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce is smooth and clings to the beef.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley just before serving.
