Apple Cider Beef Stew In A Crock Pot Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Cut ends of garlic bulb to expose cloves. Drizzle with oil and season with salt & pepper. Wrap in foil.
  • Roast 45 minutes. Allow to cool somewhat before handling.
  • Carefully squeeze garlic into a small bowl. Add a splash of apple cider and mash into a paste.
  • Season beef cubes liberally with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp flour and toss to coat.
  • Heat large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp on both sides. Transfer to paper towel lined plate.
  • Add 1 tbsp butter to skillet. Once melted, add beef cubes to skillet. Cook until crisp and deep brown on each side, in batches if necessary (once first batch is done, transfer to plate with bacon). Add more butter as needed, 1/2 tbsp at a time.
  • Once all beef is browned & transferred, add 1 tbsp butter to skillet. Add carrot, apple, celery, and onion to skillet. Cook to soften for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp flour & toss to coat.
  • Combine remaining apple cider with beef stock. Mix in garlic paste.
  • Place browned beef, bacon and veggies into crock pot. Add cider mixture and bay leaves.
  • Cook on low for 4-5 hours until beef is tender. Thicken with cornstarch slurry if needed.
  • Serve with Mashed Redskin Potatoes (increase recipe by half to yield 6 servings) or similar.
