Ingredients

Directions

  1. Trim excess fat from the beef chuck and cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Dredge the beef cubes in flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. In a 4-quart Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the beef cubes and brown on all sides. Remove from pot if necessary to prevent overcrowding.
  6. Drain the sauerkraut well, pressing firmly to remove excess liquid.
  7. Spread the sauerkraut evenly over the browned beef in the pot.
  8. Sprinkle with caraway seeds, cracked black pepper, and the bay leaf.
  9. Sprinkle the dark brown sugar evenly over the top.
  10. Add the sliced onion and peeled, sliced apple.
  11. Pour the canned stewed tomatoes, including their liquid, over all ingredients.
  12. Cover the pot tightly with a lid.
  13. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
  14. Carefully remove the pot from the oven and taste the stew.
  15. Adjust seasoning with additional brown sugar if needed to balance the acidity.
  16. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
  17. Serve hot with boiled potatoes, a green salad, or rye bread.
