Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Season beef with salt and pepper, searing until browned on all sides.
Add chopped onions and carrots to the skillet, cooking until onions are translucent (about 4–5 minutes).
Sprinkle flour over beef and vegetables; stir well. Pour in apple cider and beef broth, scraping up browned bits from the pan. Bring to a boil.
Transfer mixture to an oven-safe dish, cover tightly, and bake until beef is fork-tender (60–90 minutes).
While stew cooks, boil peeled potatoes until tender (20–25 minutes). Drain and return to pot; mash with milk, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and chives.
Serve mashed potatoes topped with apple cider stew.
