BEEF AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
• Add the canola oil and the stew meat. Let the meat cook until nicely browned. The meat should release easily from the bottom of the pot when it is ready to turn.
• Stir the stew meat and add the onion along with the salt and pepper. Continue to cook until all sides of the meat have browned and all of the moisture has evaporated from the bottom of the pot.
• Add the Worcestershire Sauce and the *red wine to deglaze the pan. Use a wooden spoon and scrape up all that good stuff on the bottom of the pan.
• Add the beef broth and the fresh herbs. (Tie the herbs together with butcher string for easy removal later). Bring the broth to a boil, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer the stew meat for anywhere from 1 - 2 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
• Mix the Bisquick with the milk and fresh parsley. Stir only until combined. Drop by tablespoons full into the boiling broth. I usually get about 9 dumplings.
• Cook the dumplings for 10 minutes, then cover and cook another 10 minutes. And that is it, dinner is done!

Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.

Add water and mix until a soft dough forms, not too sticky or wet. Divide the dough in half, then quarters then into eighths. Roll into balls.
• Turn off the heat under the beef and drop the balls of dough onto the top. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes until the dumplings are browned.
