Ingredients

  • 2 lbs stew meat
  • 4 carrots, chopped
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed

Directions

  1. In a large pot, brown the stew meat over medium heat until evenly seared. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, cooking until softened.
  2. Pour in the beef broth and add the bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the meat is tender.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the milk until a soft dough forms.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the simmering stew. Cover and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
  6. Serve hot and enjoy!

Leftover Storage
