(Serves 6)
- 2 lbs (900g) stewing beef or chuck roast, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
- 2 large yellow onions, thickly sliced
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth (or water + 1 beef bouillon cube)
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
- Salt & black pepper to taste
💡 Pro Tips:
- Use well-marbled chuck—it becomes tender with slow cooking.
- Don’t stir too much—let the onions form a natural “lid” over the beef.
- Skim fat at the end for a cleaner sauce (optional).

Step-by-Step Instructions (Tender, Rich, Foolproof)
1. Brown the Beef (Optional but Recommended)
- Pat beef dry; season with salt and pepper.
- In a heavy pot or Dutch oven, brown beef in batches over medium-high heat (adds depth). Remove and set aside.
