  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 Measuring spoons set

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pound beef stew meat cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 clove garlic minced
  • 3 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 3 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 large carrots peeled and chopped
  • 2 large potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf bay leaf

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  • Add beef cubes and brown on all sides, then remove and set aside.
  • In the same Dutch oven, sauté onion and garlic until softened.
  • Stir in beef broth, apple cider, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar.
  • Return beef to the pot and add carrots, potatoes, salt, pepper, thyme, and bay leaf.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.
  • Simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender.
  • Remove from heat and let stew rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a thicker stew, remove 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, whisk it with 2 tablespoons of flour, and return it to the pot, stirring well until it thickens. For added depth of flavor, sear the beef in batches to ensure even browning, and consider using a mix of apple varieties for a complex apple flavor.
