Ingredients
Scale

- Season beef generously with salt and pepper.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches until all sides are seared, about 15–20 minutes total.

- Peel and cube the potatoes, then add them to the slow cooker along with garlic, thyme, rosemary, and beef broth. Stir gently to combine.
