Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 1/2 lb. chuck pot roast
  • 3 Tbsp. flour
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. dried thyme
  • 3 Tbsp. oil
  • 2 c. apple juice or cider
  • 1/2 c. water
  • 2 Tbsp. vinegar
  • 4 carrots
  • 2 onions

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the chuck pot roast and cut into 1-inch cubes by slicing into 1-inch slices, then halving each slice lengthwise, and cutting into 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Dredge the beef cubes in the seasoned flour.
  3. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes on all sides, then remove and set aside.
