Maple Beef Stew With Raisins and Rice
It's easy to get sick of beef stew even though there is nothing better then a warm stew in the Fall! So here is a variety with rice and raisins instead . I love mixing in raisins into a dish because it adds a bit of sweetness. My grandma always made rice with raisins and it was one of my favorite dishes growing up.
Start by dicing up some beef chunks into small pieces.
Coat the beef chunks in flour and cook on either side until browned in oil.
Take the beef chunk and place them to the side.
Sautee an onion and garlic in oil.
Add baby carrots, diced tomatoes, bay leaves, salt and pepper to taste.
Also add a splash of apple cider vinegar and 1/4 cup maple syrup Maple syrup.
Add the beef back in and add 1/2 cup of broth. Simmer for 30 minutes to an hour on low heat. Add the raisin's towards the end.
Add the beef back in and add chicken broth. Cook for 30 minutes to an hour on low heat. Add the raisin's towards the end.
Serve over rice. Disconnect so being made in a slow cooker.
