CIDER STEW
Recipe By : Great Recipes from the New York Times Cookbook
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Beef Stews
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 tablespoons fat (I use mixture of veg oil & butter)
3 large onions -- sliced
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 tsp thyme
2 pounds stew beef
pepper to taste
1 tablespoon ketchup
2 cups apple cider -- (good quality)
3 large (or 4 small) potatoes -- chunks
3 large (or 4 small) carrots -- sliced thick
Brown onions in fat in large skillet with cover or dutch oven. Mix flour with salt, pepper and thyme. When onions are brown remove from pan, and add beef. Brown. Replace onions, and add flour mixture to coat all. Add cider and ketchup and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally and skimming top if needed. Add veggies and cook about 1/2 to 3/4 hours longer until tender.
NOTES: I up the amount of cider, ketchup and seasonings in relative amounts to make extra sauce because it's so good. Entire recipe can be doubled easily.
