Description

This Fall Apple Cider Stew Mash is the ultimate cozy comfort food! Juicy sirloin beef is slow-baked in a cider-infused gravy with carrots and onions, then served over creamy mashed potatoes with cheddar and chives. It’s the perfect hearty dinner for chilly nights and fall gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Stew:

  • 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

  • 1–2 tbsp flour

  • 1½ cups fresh apple cider

  • 1½ cups low-sodium beef broth

For the Mashed Potatoes:

  • 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. Sear the Beef:
    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. Add Aromatics:
    Stir in chopped onion and carrots. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Coat with Flour:
    Sprinkle flour over the beef and veggies. Stir to coat and cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

  4. Deglaze & Simmer:
    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. Bake:
    Cover and bake at 375°F for 1 to 1½ hours until beef is fork-tender.

  6. Make Mashed Potatoes:
    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. Serve:
    Spoon mashed potatoes into bowls. Ladle the hot apple cider stew over the top. Garnish with extra chives or cheese if desired.

Notes

Beef Substitute: Stew beef or chuck roast works well if top sirloin isn’t available—just increase baking time.
Apple Cider: Fresh-pressed is best for depth of flavor, but store-bought is fine too.
Make Ahead: The stew can be made a day in advance and reheated; flavors deepen overnight.
Storage: Store leftovers in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
