Cider Beef Stew
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 2-1/2 hours
YIELD: 4 servings.
When I was a new bride 25 years ago, this recipe was inside a serving dish I received as a gift. It's great on winter evenings served with a loaf of fresh bread. The cider and vinegar help tenderize the meat and provide wonderful flavor to this hearty stew.
