Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 340 grams (3/4 pound) top sirloin, cut into cubes
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 6 large potatoes, peeled
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine olive oil and butter.
- Season cubed top sirloin with salt and pepper. Sear the beef in the skillet until browned on all sides (about 6–8 minutes).
- Add chopped onions and carrots; sauté until onions become translucent (around 4–5 minutes).
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture; stir well and cook for an additional minute. Pour in apple cider and beef broth while scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Bring to a boil.
- Transfer everything to an oven-safe Dutch oven or casserole dish, cover tightly with a lid, and bake for about 60–90 minutes until the beef is fork-tender.
- While the stew cooks, boil peeled potatoes in a pot of water until tender (approximately 20–25 minutes). Drain well and return to the pot.
- Mash potatoes with milk, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and chives until smooth; adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve mashed potatoes topped with generous portions of apple cider beef stew; garnish with extra chives if desired.
