Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil

  • 3/4 lb top sirloin cubes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups apple cider
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 large onion (chopped)

  • 6 large potatoes (peeled and chopped)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 3 Tablespoons chives (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven, combine olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until melted.
  2. Add seasoned top sirloin cubes to the skillet, browning them on all sides for about 6–8 minutes.
  3. Stir in chopped onions and carrots; cook for an additional 4–5 minutes until softened.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir for one minute before pouring in apple cider and beef broth. Bring to a boil.
  5. Transfer everything into an oven-safe pan, cover tightly, and bake for 1 to 1½ hours until beef is tender.
  6. Meanwhile, boil peeled potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (15–20 minutes). Drain and return to pot.
  7. Mash potatoes with milk and sour cream until smooth. Fold in shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives.
  8. Serve the stew over creamy mashed potatoes.
