# How-To Steps:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak cubes for 1-2 minutes until browned, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Transfer seared meat to the slow cooker.
02 - Add halved baby potatoes and diced onion to the slow cooker with the seared steak.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and crushed red pepper flakes.
04 - Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the steak and potatoes. Stir gently to ensure all pieces are well-coated.
05 - Cover and cook on LOW setting for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until potatoes are fork-tender and steak reaches desired doneness.
06 - Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish generously with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
