Chef tips
For maximum flavour, ensure you sear the meat thoroughly on all sides before adding the liquid. The cider caramelises beautifully with the root vegetables, creating a rich, thick and comforting sauce. To make this dish kosher, use veal chops or beef shoulder cut into large cubes. For a family meal, serve the stew with velvety mashed potatoes to soak up the rich sauce.
