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