Beef Stew with Dumplings
A slow cooker beef stew with homemade dumplings, rich flavor, and tender beef.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chuck roast cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion diced
- 4 medium carrots peeled and sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 bay leaves
For the Dumplings:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cold butter cubed
- ½ cup milk
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, season the beef cubes with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper, then toss them in the flour until evenly coated.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
- To the slow cooker, add the onion, carrot, mushrooms, garlic, tomato paste, diced tomatoes with juice, beef broth, red wine, Italian seasoning, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- About 30 minutes before the stew is done, make the dumplings. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until a soft dough forms.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the surface of the stew, leaving space between each dumpling. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 25-30 minutes, or until the dumplings are puffed up and cooked through.
- Remove the bay leaves before serving. Serve the stew hot with the dumplings on top. Enjoy!
