Fall Apple Cider Stew Mash

A warm and hearty dish combining tender beef with sweet apple cider and creamy mashed potatoes, perfect for chilly autumn days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 lbs top sirloin beef, cut into cubes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 12 tbsp flour
  • 1½ cups fresh apple cider
  • 1½ cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Season sirloin cubes generously with salt and pepper. Add to skillet in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned.
  2. Stir in chopped onion and carrots. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the beef and veggies. Stir to coat and cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  4. Pour in apple cider and beef broth. Scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a gentle boil, then transfer to an oven-safe Dutch oven or covered baking dish.
  5. Cover and bake at 375°F for 1 to 1½ hours until beef is fork-tender.
  6. While stew finishes, boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. Drain and return to pot. Add milk, sour cream, cheddar, and chives. Mash until smooth and fluffy. Season with salt to taste.
  7. Spoon mashed potatoes into bowls. Ladle the hot apple cider stew over the top. Garnish with extra chives or cheese if desired.

Notes

You can switch up the protein or cheese to suit your taste. This dish stores well for leftovers.
