LIGHTER BEEF STEW & DUMPLINGS



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.

Time 2h45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 lbs stewing beef, diced
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 stalks celery, chopped

3 ounces cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a large dutch oven, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Toss the meat cubes with the 1 ½ tbsp of flour, and then in batches, brown them until seared. Remove to plate as you go.
  • Add more oil if you need to, then add the celery, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir until the vegetables are soft. Add the thyme and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the mushrooms, bay leaves, broth, tomato paste, and Guinness; bring to a boil, then cover and put into the oven.
  • Let the stew bubble away in the oven for two hours. Mean while, make the dumplings.
  • In a bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cut in your bits of butter with a pastry cutter, and then stir in the cheese. Add milk, stirring until you get a wet dough. You may need more or less, use your judgment.
  • Spoon out portions of the dough about the size of a ping pong ball, roll them with your hands, and place on a cookie sheet. Put them in the fridge to chill while the stew cooks.
  • When the stew is finished, plop the dumplings in one at a time, pushing them under the juices, and then put a lid back on and allow them to cook for another 30 minutes.

Provided by ambikins

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Stews     Beef

Time 3h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, coarsely chopped
2 pounds cubed beef stew meat
2 teaspoons steak seasoning (such as Montreal Steak Seasoning®), divided
2 stalks celery, each cut into 4 pieces
2 cups water, or to cover
4 (.85 ounce) packages dry brown gravy mix
4 cups water
1 small turnip, peeled and quartered
4 carrots, peeled and quartered
7 potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons shortening
¾ cup milk

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering, and place the onion and beef into the hot oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the steak seasoning, stir the meat and onions well, and sprinkle with 1 more teaspoon of seasoning. Add the celery, and cook and stir until the meat is browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour in 2 cups of water to just cover the meat, onion, and celery, bring to a boil, and stir and scrape the browned bits of flavor from the bottom of the pan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until the beef is very tender, about 2 hours. Remove the meat and celery pieces from the pan, set the meat aside, and discard the celery.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the gravy mix with 4 cups of water. Add the mixture to the juices in the pot, bring to a boil, and stir the meat back into the gravy mixture. Stir in the turnip and carrots, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, cover, and simmer an additional 20 minutes.
  • To make dumplings, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture looks crumbly. Pour in the milk, and lightly stir the mixture just until it combines to form a dough.
  • Remove 2 cups of gravy from the pot, and reserve. Drop the dumplings by heaping tablespoon onto the meat and vegetables in the pot, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Do not peek until the time is up. Pour the reserved gravy back over the dumplings, stir lightly, and serve.

STEAK AND DUMPLINGS



Steak and Dumplings image

This is a great recipe my Mom used to make. I believe it's a Depression-era recipe since it's made with round steak and flour dumplings. The trick is to let it simmer for a few hours to get the meat fork-tender. From the kitchen of Maureen Dutcher. Enjoy!

Provided by Sue

Categories     Dumplings

Time 2h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 ½ pounds beef round steak, cut into 1/4-inch thick strips
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
½ onion, diced
1 cup chopped carrot
3 cubes beef bouillon
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs, beaten
¾ cup water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; place the strips of steak into the hot oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until the steak pieces are browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour in the beef broth, and use a spoon to scrape up and dissolve any browned flavor bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in onion and carrot; drop in the beef bouillon cubes. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until steak strips are tender, at least 1 1/2 hours. Stir occasionally.
  • About 10 minutes before serving time, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over medium heat. Mix together the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and baking powder in a bowl; stir in eggs and water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to make a thick batter. Drop tablespoon-sized blobs of batter into the boiling water, and stir; dumplings will sink at first, but then rise to the top. Let the dumplings simmer for about 4 minutes after they float to the surface of the water.
  • With a slotted spoon, scoop out the dumplings into a serving bowl. Serve topped with the steak strips and gravy.

BEEF CASSEROLE AND DUMPLINGS



Beef casserole and dumplings image

This is a very easy casserole dish - my children would eat it every day if they could!

Provided by lovingbeingmum

Time 9h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tbspoons of oil in a large pan.
  • Add potatoes, carrots, onion, leek and celery and heat gently without browning for 5-10 miNs
  • Add mushrooms, stir for 2 mins then add to casserole pot or crock pot.
  • Heat the remaing 2 tb spoons of oil and brown the beef - in batches if necessary.
  • Add the flour and mix
  • Add the beef stock, tomatoes, red wine and Worcester sauce.
  • Season with salt and pepper, bring to the boil, reduce heat and add to pot.
  • Add bouquet garni and whole garlic bulb to pot. Stir well.
  • Oven - 160c for 2.5 - 3 hours
  • Slow cooker - high for 4-5 hours or low for 8-10hrs (depending on your slow cooker!)
  • When cooked remove bouquet garni and garlic bulb.
  • For the dumpling -
  • Turn oven up to oven to 190degrees C or gas 5
  • Put your flour into a mixing bowl
  • Using a coarse grater, grate very cold butter into the flour
  • Add herbs and a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Using your fingers, gently rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs
  • Add a some cold water to help bind it
  • Divide the dough into 12 balls. The dumplings will suck up quite a bit of moisture so if your stew looks dry - add a cup of boiling water and give it a good stir.
  • brush dumplings with beaten egg to glaze
  • Place the dumplings on top of your fully cooked stew.
  • Cook in the oven for 30 minutes until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Select the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, blade steak, or top sirloin are great options for beef and dumplings. These cuts are flavorful and have a good amount of connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and creates a rich, savory broth.
  • Brown the beef well: Browning the beef before stewing it adds flavor and color to the dish. Be sure to brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the meat.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is an important part of beef and dumplings, so be sure to use a good-quality broth. You can use beef broth, chicken broth, or a combination of both. You can also add vegetables, herbs, and spices to the broth for extra flavor.
  • Make sure the dumplings are cooked through: The dumplings should be cooked through before serving. You can tell if they are cooked by inserting a toothpick into the center of a dumpling. If the toothpick comes out clean, the dumpling is cooked.
  • Serve immediately: Beef and dumplings is best served immediately after it is cooked. The dumplings will absorb the broth and become soggy if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Beef and dumplings is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious pot of beef and dumplings that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give beef and dumplings a try. You won't be disappointed!
