The apple juice gives the broth a little
sweetness that works with the other flavors.
You really don't need the flour to thicken.
The broth in this beef stew is amazing.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds stewing beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup sliced celery
3 cups beef broth
2 carrots
2 medium potatoes
1/2 cup baby lima beans
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
10 small white onions, frozen, thawed
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons cold water
Directions:
In a large saucepan over medium heat,
brown the beef in the vegetable oil;
add onion and celery and saute
for 3 to 5 minutes longer.
Add beef broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and
simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Add the carrots, potatoes,
lima beans, and apple juice;
simmer for about 30 to 40 minute longer,
or until vegetables are tender.
Add drained onions and corn;
continue cooking for 5 to 10 minutes.
In a small bowl or cup,
combine flour with cold water until smooth.
Add the mixture to the simmering broth,
a little at a time, until stew is thickened.
Taste and add salt and pepper.
