๐ 4-Ingredient Irish Slow Cooker Beef & Potatoes
๐ Ingredients:
1 kg beef chuck roast (or any stewing beef)
4โ5 large potatoes, peeled and chunked
1 packet onion soup mix
1ยฝ cups beef broth (or water + bouillon)
๐จโ๐ณ Instructions:
Prep the base
Place the potato chunks in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Add the beef
Put the beef on top of the potatoes.
Season
Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the meat.
Pour liquid
Add the beef broth around the sides (not directly washing off seasoning).
Cook low & slow
LOW: 8 hours (best for tenderness)
HIGH: 4โ5 hours
Serve
The beef will be fall-apart tender, and the potatoes soak up all that rich flavor.
๐ก Optional (but still โsecret-styleโ):
Add carrots if you want a fuller meal
Finish with a little butter for extra richness
๐ Why itโs so good:
The onion soup mix creates a deep, savory gravy
Slow cooking makes the beef incredibly tender
