How to Make Beef Stew With Dilly Dumplings

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes, to the bag.
  3. Seal bag and shake to coat the beef in flour.
  4. In a Dutch oven, brown the beef in 2 tablespoons oil in batches over medium-high heat. Remove beef and set aside.
  5. Add 4 cups beef broth to the Dutch oven, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Reduce heat to low.
  7. Return beef to the pot. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.
  8. Add 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cubed, 1 lb carrots, peeled and chopped, 1 large onion, chopped, 2 celery stalks, chopped, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 bay leaf, and 1 teaspoon salt to the stew.
  9. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  10. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the meat and vegetables are tender.
  11. Discard the bay leaf.
  12. **For the dumplings:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1 tablespoon dried dill.
  13. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
  14. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Do not overmix.
  15. Drop the dumpling mixture by rounded tablespoons onto the simmering stew.
  16. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a dumpling comes out clean.
  17. Serve hot and enjoy!
