Lighter beef stew & dumplings image

We've cut the calories and fat and boosted the fibre in this comforting casserole by using a lean cut of beef and upping the vegetables

Provided by Angela Nilsen

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 2h55m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 medium onions, chopped
2 bay leaves
4 thyme sprigs, plus extra leaves to serve
550g chunks of lean braising steak
100ml red wine
1 ½ tbsp plain flour
1 tsp English mustard powder
230g can plum tomatoes
500ml vegetable bouillon
280g carrots, halved lengthways and sliced
400g piece butternut squash, deseeded, peeled and cut into 3-4cm/11/4-11/2in chunks
140g chestnut mushrooms, quartered or halved if large
140g self-raising flour
½ tsp English mustard powder
2 spring onions, ends trimmed, finely chopped
3 tbsp chopped parsley
2 tbsp rapeseed oil
100ml buttermilk

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan or deep sauté pan. Tip in the onions, bay leaves and thyme sprigs, and fry over a medium heat for about 8 mins, stirring often, until the onions are turning golden. Raise the heat, add the steak and stir-fry briefly until it starts to lose its raw, red colour. Pour in the wine, stir to deglaze the brown sticky bits from the bottom of the pan, and let it bubble briefly. Lower the heat, sprinkle in the flour and mustard powder, and stir for 1 min. The meat should now be coated in a thick, rich sauce.
  • Mix in the tomatoes, stirring to break them down. Stir in the stock and bring to the boil. Tip in the carrots, squash and mushrooms, lower the heat, cover with a lid and leave to simmer gently for 1 hr 40 mins, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook for a further 20 mins, still on a gentle simmer, until the meat is very tender. Season with pepper.
  • When the stew is nearly cooked, heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put a 2.25-litre casserole dish in to heat it up. Meanwhile, make the dumplings. Put the flour, mustard powder, some pepper and a pinch of salt in a bowl, then stir in the spring onions and parsley. Mix the oil and buttermilk together and gently stir into the flour. Add a drop or two of cold water, if needed, to pick up any dry bits on the bottom of the bowl, and stir to make a soft and slightly sticky dough. Be as light-handed as you can, as overmixing or overhandling will toughen the dumplings. Cut the dough into 8 pieces and very lightly shape each into a small, rough ball.
  • Carefully transfer the stew to the hot casserole dish and remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Sit the dumplings on top and press them down into the gravy to very slightly submerge. Put the dish on a baking sheet and cook for about 20 mins until the dumplings have risen and are golden on top. Serve with a light scattering of thyme leaves.
