# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Everything cooks in one pot while you go about your life
- The garlic butter sauce makes everything taste restaurant special
- Leftovers reheat beautifully for tomorrow lunch
02 -
- Searing the meat first is not optional because that brown flavor is what makes it taste like beef stew instead of boiled meat
- Do not lift the lid during cooking because every peek adds 15 minutes to the cooking time
03 -
- Pat the steak completely dry before searing or it will steam instead of brown
- Use baby potatoes that are all similar sizes so they finish cooking at the same time
