Instructions
- In a skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter and sear beef pieces until lightly browned on all sides.
- Transfer seared beef to the slow cooker and add halved potatoes.

Sear beef before slow cooking to lock in flavor. Add fresh herbs at the end to preserve color and aroma. Avoid overcooking to keep beef tender. For extra richness, broil briefly after cooking.
