A camping recipe from Marvin. This can be a meal in itself. The beef can be pre-cooked at home. You should finish the stew over a bed of coals on the campfire. It can cook while you take a short walk which will work up a good appetite for this hearty meal.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 pounds beef stew meat
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups fresh apple cider
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 large bay leaf
  • 4 carrots, sliced
  • 3 potatoes, quartered, sliced
  • 2 onions, sliced
  • 1 celery stalk, sliced
  • 1 apple, sliced
Preparation:
Combine flour, salt, pepper, and thyme in a bowl. Toss the stew beef into the flour mix. Brown with olive oil in a Dutch oven. Stir in cider, water, and cider vinegar. Bring to a boil. Add bay leaf. Simmer meat until tender. Add balance of ingredients and cook until the vegetables are tender.
