About
Beef Dumpling Stew is listed as beef from United Kingdom. The steps below are the imported TheMealDB method, not an editorial rewrite. Times shown were read from those steps.
Ingredients
Scaling multiplies the written quantities. Baking still prefers a scale.
Steps
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Step 2
For the beef stew, heat the oil and butter in an ovenproof casserole and fry the beef until browned on all sides.
Step 3
Sprinkle over the flour and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
3 minStep 4
Add the garlic and all the vegetables and fry for 1-2 minutes.
2 minStep 5
Stir in the wine, stock and herbs, then add the Worcestershire sauce and balsamic vinegar, to taste. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 6
Cover with a lid, transfer to the oven and cook for about two hours, or until the meat is tender.
Step 7
For the dumplings, sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Add the suet and enough water to form a thick dough.
Step 8
With floured hands, roll spoonfuls of the dough into small balls.
Step 9
After two hours, remove the lid from the stew and place the balls on top of the stew. Cover, return to the oven and cook for a further 20 minutes, or until the dumplings have swollen and are tender. (If you prefer your dumplings with a golden top, leave the lid off when returning to the oven.)
20 minStep 10
To serve, place a spoonful of mashed potato onto each of four serving plates and top with the stew and dumplings. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Substitutions
butter → olive-oil
Use a little less oil than butter. Pastry and laminated doughs are a different problem.
beef → tofu
Marinated tofu or mushrooms can take the savoury role. Label the plate as a vegetarian adaptation.
flour (a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread)) → a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread)
Coatings and roux can swap. Yeast breads need a blend designed for gluten-free baking.
garlic (garlic powder or a pinch of onion) → garlic powder or a pinch of onion
1 clove ≈ ¼ tsp garlic powder. The fresh bite will be missing.
onion → shallot
Shallots are sweeter. Use the same volume, or a little extra onion if that is what you have.
