This is a really tasty meal that's not difficult to do & that should fulfil most appetites. I found the recipe in a magazine, many years ago & even though it's been cooked many times, we still enjoy the dish today. A NOTE TO EVERYONE WHO HAS PINCHED THIS RECIPE PRIOR TO 3rd APRIL. My sincere apologies to you all for adding...

I love the way the cider tenderizes the beef in this recipe. It's so fall-apart tender and flavorful. I always serve this stew with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.
