BEEF STEW WITH DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• In a bowl, toss cubed beef with flour to coat.
• Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Place flour in a bag or bowl, and add beef cubes. Toss to coat with flour. Place coated cubes in the skillet and fry until well-browned on all sides; remove from pan and set aside.
• Cook onion and garlic in same pan until tender. Return meat to pan with water, parsley, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed. Stir in potatoes, carrots, celery, and green pepper, and continue cooking another 15 minutes. Remove the bay leaf, and stir in mushrooms.
• In a small bowl, mix together baking mix, 3 tablespoons melted butter, and milk until just blended. Drop dough by the tablespoonful into stew. Simmer, uncovered, approximately 10 minutes. Cover, and simmer 10 minutes more, or until dumplings are cooked through, but not dry.

MUM'S STOVE-TOP GROUND BEEF STEW WITH DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• 1. In a 3 quart pot, heat meat slowly on stove till browned, NOT fried. I think Mum said med. heat and adjust lower, if needed. Add a little salt and pepper.
• 2. When meat is browned, cover with water to about 1/2" over the meat, add onion and simmer for 20 mins. Mum never drained the meat first. (watch and stir if necessary to prevent sticking).
• 3. Add both the can of broth and can of water and simmer for ½ hr - 45 mins. Stir occasionally to prevent any sticking.
• 4. Add cut veggies and a little more salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer slowly till all veggies are done, about 45 mins to 1 hr. Thicken with flour gradually to consistency you prefer.
• 5. This is a THIN stew so you need something to sop up the juices. Make small to medium size Bisquick dumplings and plop on top of stew about 15 mins before you eat. Make sure you have enough liquid in the stew, because dumplings will absorb moisture. You turn back the temp so that the dumplings basically steam. Cover for 15 mins and serve. Crusty bread works too :)

BEEF STEW WITH ONION GRAVY AND BISCUIT DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Toss the beef tips with the flour, salt and pepper in a large Ziploc bag to coat well. Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Brown the beef in the pan. Once browned, reserve beef on a plate and cook the onions until soft. Return the beef to the pan, add the broth, white wine and basil to the pot. Turn down to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 2 hours (can cook for longer if necessary, just keep on low heat). Toward end of cooking time preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir the lima beans into the stew. In a measuring cup mix the half-and-half with the cornstarch until the cornstarch is dissolved. Stir it into the stew. Turn heat up to medium-high and heat to almost boiling stirring regularly. Transfer stew to large 9 by 13 glass pan (I actually use a little larger corning ware pan) Open biscuits can and place individual biscuits on top of the stew. Cook in 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes until biscuits are golden brown.
