Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 pounds stew beef (cut into 1 inch cubes)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup apple cider or apple juice
  • 1/2 cup steak sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 4 medium potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 3 medium carrots (chopped)
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 1 cup frozen cut green beans
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instruction

  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add beef and brown the outside. It does not need to be cooked through- just browned on the outside to keep it juicy in the slow cooker.
  • Add the flour. Stir to incorporate, and set aside.
  • In your slow cooker, mix together water, cider, steak sauce, thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Add potatoes and vegetables and stir to combine.
  • Add beef and stir again. Allow to cook on low in the slow cooker for 6-8 hours, until vegetables are tender and beef is cooked through. Add salt and pepper to taste before serving.
