Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds stew meat (chuck meat)
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 large onion
  • 4 to 5 carrots
  • 3 cups golden potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 teaspoons tomato paste
  • 2 quarts beef stock
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 cup flour (for dumplings)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 tablespoon butter (room temperature)
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup milk
  • Fresh herbs (parsley and chives, optional)

Instructions

  1. Season and coat the meat with flour, then sear in a pot until browned. Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté onions, carrots, potatoes, and rosemary in the same pot. Add garlic and tomato paste.
  3. Return the meat to the pot, add beef stock, and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours.
  4. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, herbs, butter, and milk to form a sticky dumpling dough.
