BEEF DUMPLING STEW RECIPES

Steps:

• Add the onions and diced beef to pot and click Sear/Saute on high and start. Cook until beef is no longer red on the outside, do not brown. Stir occasionally
• Add in the potatoes and carrots and stir through
• Add in the 2 heaped spoons of cornflour, mixed herbs and a little salt and pepper. Stir through until you can no longer see dry flour
• Pour in the stock. DO NOT STIR. Put the pressure lid on and pressure cook on high for 15 mins. When done leave for 5 minutes then vent.
• Stir through thoroughly then add in the made up dumplings
• Bake/Roast for 15 mins at 180°c

Steps:

• Put the oil, vegetables and tomato purée into the bowl of your slow cooker. Dry the beef pieces with kitchen paper and dust with the plain flour (tapping off excess). Add to the slow cooker together with the wine, stock, rosemary and some seasoning. Stir to combine.
• Cover and cook on high for 5hr or until the beef is tender.
• After 5hrs of cooking, make the dumplings. Sift the flour into a large bowl and stir in the suet, parsley and lots of seasoning. Add 100ml cold water and stir to make a soft (and slightly sticky) dough.
• Remove the lid and discard the rosemary sprigs. Pinch off walnut-sized pieces of dough, gently roll into a ball and place on top of the stew, spacing apart. Recover and cook for 1hr more. Check the seasoning and serve with mashed potatoes.
