👩🍳 Instructions
1. Sear the Beef for Maximum Flavor
- Heat olive oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat

✨ This is where the magic starts—garlic + butter = unbeatable aroma
3. Deglaze & Season

- Scrape up all the flavorful bits from the bottom
- Stir in smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper
4. Slow Cook to Tender Perfection
- Return the beef to the pot
- Add the baby potatoes
- Cover and simmer on low heat for 2 to 2.5 hours, stirring occasionally
✨ The beef becomes incredibly tender, and the potatoes soak up all that herby goodness
5. Optional: Thicken the Sauce
- Mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry
- Stir into the pot and cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens
6. Finish & Serve
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley
- Serve hot, straight from the pot
