Ingredients

  • Beef Chuck RoastSelect a high-quality cut, trimming off excessive fat, and cut it into uniform, two-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and tenderness.
  • Unsalted ButterUse high-quality butter for the richest flavor, ensuring the beef gets coated in that perfect, velvety texture as it melts.
  • Garlic ClovesDo not skimp on the garlic; use whole, peeled cloves that will roast down slowly, transforming into sweet, creamy nuggets of flavor.
  • Beef Broth or StockThis provides the necessary liquid for the slow cooking process, deepening the savory notes and keeping the beef moist.
  • Worcestershire SauceA splash of this adds critical umami depth and acidity, helping to tenderize the meat further.
  • Dried HerbsA mixture of dried thyme and rosemary contributes that classic, aromatic seasoning profile essential for rich beef dishes.
  • Cornstarch or FlourYou will use this in the final 30 minutes to create a thick, glossy sauce, binding all the wonderful garlic butter flavors together.

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prep the Beef and Seasoning
  2. Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients and Herbs
  3. Step 3: Slow Cook to Perfection
  4. Step 4: Thicken the Sauce

Notes

  • Store leftovers, including all the thick garlic butter sauce, in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator; the flavor actually improves the next day.
  • To reheat, use a small pot over low heat on the stovetop, adding a splash of extra beef broth or water to keep the sauce glossy and prevent the beef from drying out.
  • Serve these decadent bites over creamy mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or alongside crusty bread to ensure none of the delicious, thick garlic butter sauce goes to waste.
  • For ultimate tenderness, ensure your two-inch beef cubes are cut as uniformly as possible, since uneven pieces will cook at different rates and affect the final texture.
