Crock Pot Apple and Beef Stew image

Every year we go to the orchard, and I have to find 5,000 things to do with apples. This is one of my favorites. (Just make sure your diners are clear it's beef and APPLE stew, because, ya know, apples and POTATOES look very similar in stew, but the taste buds get a little freaked out if they're expecting the other;-)

SLOW COOKER BEEF STEW WITH MAPLE AND STOUT



Slow Cooker Beef Stew With Maple and Stout image

This super-simple beef stew features spoon-tender chunks of beef and a sauce that gets a deep, dark flavor from stout beer and maple syrup. The recipe calls for carrots, parsnips and potatoes, but feel free to swap in similar quantities of other root vegetables, like turnips and rutabaga, cut into large pieces. But do make sure to avoid precut stew meat from the grocery store, which is often unreliable and cut too small. A chuck roast that you cut yourself is a far better option. You can also make this on the stovetop or in the oven: Season the meat with salt, then sear it in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over high heat in a Dutch oven. Add the rest of the ingredients, stir to combine, cover and simmer on low (or in a 325-degree oven) for 2 to 3 hours until the meat is very tender and move on to step 2.

Time 10h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
2 large parsnips, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
3 thyme sprigs
2 rosemary sprigs
3 to 3 1/2 pounds chuck roast, excess fat trimmed, cut into 2-inch chunks
1/3 cup stout beer
1/3 cup maple syrup, preferably dark
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, preferably aged
Kosher salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the carrots, parsnips, potatoes, herbs, beef, beer, maple syrup, garlic, onion and garlic powders and 1 teaspoon vinegar in a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of pepper. Mix well to combine (feel free to use your hands). Cook on low until the meat and vegetables are very tender, 10 to 12 hours, stirring the stew once if possible; this helps the beef and vegetables cook more evenly, but if it's not possible, it will be fine.
  • Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons vinegar. Taste and add more salt and pepper if you like. Serve in shallow bowls with the meat, vegetables and some sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good choices for slow cooker beef stew. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
  • Brown the beef before cooking. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. Potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions are all classic stew vegetables, but you can also add other vegetables like parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
  • Add some herbs and spices. A bay leaf, a few cloves of garlic, and some black peppercorns are all good additions to beef stew. You can also add other herbs and spices like thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
  • Use a good quality beef broth. This will help to give the stew a rich flavor.
  • Cook the stew on low for 8-10 hours. This will allow the flavors to develop and the beef to become tender.
  • Serve the stew hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.

Conclusion:

Crock-Pot Apple and Beef Stew is a hearty, flavorful, and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a cold winter's day. The combination of sweet apples and savory beef is sure to please everyone at the table. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover beef roast. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious meal, give this recipe a try.
