Well, let me tell you, butterbeef is just the best thing to happen to meat! You take some good beef, nice and tender, and make it buttery and tasty. Makes your mouth water just thinking about it! So, gather ’round and listen close, ’cause I’m gonna share how to whip up this dish that’ll have everyone coming back for seconds!
First things first, you need to get your hands on some beef. A good cut is what you want, something like chuck roast or brisket. It’s got that nice marbling, makes it juicy when cooked. You can find it at your local market, just ask the butcher if you don’t see it. Don’t forget to grab some onions too, ’cause they make everything better!
- Ingredients:
- 3 to 4 pounds of beef (chuck or brisket)
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 1 cup of beef broth
- 1 stick of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
Now, let’s get to cooking! First, you wanna season that beef. Sprinkle some salt and pepper all over it, then rub in the garlic and onion powder. Just get in there, like you’re giving it a good massage! Makes all the flavors soak in real nice.
Next, grab your slow cooker. If you don’t have one, get yourself a big pot that you can cover. Lay the sliced onions at the bottom, nice and even. Then place the beef right on top of those onions. That way, the juices from the meat drip down and flavor those onions good!
Now, here comes the best part: you gotta add the butter! Take that stick of butter and cut it into little pats. Place those pats right on top of the beef. It’s gonna melt down and make everything so rich and creamy. I can just smell it already!
Pour the beef broth around the sides of the beef, but don’t pour it right on top. We don’t wanna wash away all that seasoning! Cover it up and set your slow cooker to low. Let it cook for about 8 hours. If you’re using a pot on the stove, keep it on low heat and let it simmer for about 4 to 5 hours. Just enough time to make the house smell like heaven!
When it’s done, the beef should be so tender you can pull it apart with a fork. Just look at that! It’s falling apart and soaking in all those buttery juices. Serve it up with some of those onions and broth over rice or mashed potatoes. You won’t believe how good it is!
Now, if you want to jazz it up a bit, you can add some veggies in there too. Carrots, potatoes, whatever you got lying around will work just fine. Just chop them up and toss ’em in with the onions. Makes it a full meal, and you won’t have to cook anything else!
So there you have it, butterbeef done simple and delicious. Everyone will be licking their plates clean, I promise you that! It’s easy to make and tastes just like a big hug on a plate. Go on now, give it a try!
