Beef stew meat slowly cooked in broth with apple cider, cider vinegar, dried thyme, salt and ground black pepper. I like to add potatoes, carrots, celery and onions to fill up the stew and encourage the veggie eating in our family meals!
To make Homemade Apple Cider Beef Stew, you will need the following ingredients:
In a Dutch oven on medium-high heat, heat oil and brown beef on all sides then drain excess liquid.
Add apple cider, beef broth, vinegar, salt, thyme and pepper and bring everything to a boil then reduce the heat and cover with the lid. Simmer for 1¼ hours.
Add potatoes, carrots, celery and onions and bring pot to a boil again. Reduce heat, re-cover with lid and simmer for another 30-35 minutes until beef and vegetables are cooked and tender.
Combine flour and water, then stir into stew until smooth. Finally, bring to a boil and cook for a further 2 minutes, while stirring, until thickened.
Serve hot with sprigs of fresh thyme, if you wish.
