How to Make Beef Stew With Mustard Dumplings

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed stockpot over medium-high heat.
2. Toss 1.5 lbs of beef stew meat in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
3. Brown the beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Set aside.
4. While the meat browns, whisk together 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 4 cups beef stock, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl.
5. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 carrots, chopped, to the pot. Return the browned beef to the pot.
6. Pour the tomato-stock mixture over the beef and vegetables. Bring to a simmer, then partially cover and cook gently for 2 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
7. **Make the dumplings:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt.
8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk and 1 large egg.
9. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Stir in 2 tablespoons melted butter.
10. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If too dry, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
11. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Use a 1-inch biscuit cutter or knife to cut out dumplings.
12. After the stew has simmered for 2 hours, gently drop the dumplings into the stew. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
13. Serve hot and enjoy!
