Stew Recipe: Apple Valley Cider Stew
This wonderful stew recipe adds a bit of tanginess as well as sweetness with the addition of apple cider. The bit of acid in the apple cider helps the stew become very, very tender.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pound stew beef, cubed
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1-2 cups apple cider
- 2 tablespoons catsup
- 3 potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 2-3 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup flour, optional
Instructions
- Place the flour and seasonings in a large plastic ziptop bag. Shake to mix. Add the beef to the bag, a few pieces at a time. Shake to coat.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and brown the beef. Drain. Stir in the cider and catsup. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender. Add the vegetables and simmer another 30 minutes, until tender.
- If a thicker stew is desired, make a paste using 1/4 cup cooking liquid and 1/4 cup flour. Stir until smooth. Slowly add to the stew. Cook until thickened.
