Ingredients

Stew Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 3/4 lb top sirloin cubes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups apple cider
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

Mashed Potatoes Ingredients

  • 6 large potatoes
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3 Tablespoons chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the olive oil.
  2. Brown the Beef: Season the top sirloin cubes with salt and pepper. Add them to the hot pan and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Cook Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and carrots to the skillet with the beef and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until softened.
  4. Coat with Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the beef and vegetables, stirring to combine and coat everything evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  5. Add Liquids and Boil: Pour in the apple cider and beef broth, then bring the mixture to a boil on the stovetop.
  6. Bake the Stew: Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe pan and cover it. Place it in the preheated oven and cook for 1 to 1½ hours until the beef is tender and the stew has thickened.
  7. Prepare Mashed Potatoes: While the stew bakes, boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, then drain and return them to the pot.
  8. Mash and Mix: Mash the potatoes and add in the milk, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped chives. Mix well until creamy and smooth.
  9. Serve: Spoon the apple cider beef stew generously over the creamy mashed potatoes and enjoy your warm, comforting fall meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh apple cider for the best flavor; avoid heavily filtered or pasteurized types.
  • For a thicker stew, you can increase the flour slightly when coating the beef and vegetables.
  • If preferred, substitute sharp cheddar with your favorite cheese or omit for a lighter mashed potato.
  • Leftover stew can be reheated gently on the stovetop and served over mashed potatoes or rice.
  • Chives add a fresh finish; scallions or parsley are good alternatives.
