   Place the seasoned beef over the potatoes.
   Drizzle the remaining butter and olive oil on top.

 Tips

• For deeper flavor, you can sear the beef in a hot pan before adding it to the slow cooker (optional).

• Add vegetables like carrots or green beans if desired.

• Baby potatoes cook evenly, but red or Yukon gold potatoes also work well.

• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
