Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in skillet, sear beef cubes in batches until browned (2-3 min per side).
  2. Add onion to skillet, cook 5 min, then add half the garlic and sauté 1 min.
  3. Transfer beef, onion, garlic, and potatoes to crockpot.
  4. Season with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Notes

Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best texture. For lighter version, replace half the butter with olive oil and add vegetables like carrots or green beans.
