How to Make Beef Stew With Onion Gravy And Biscuit Dumplings

  1. Cut 2 lbs beef stew meat into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat.
  3. Brown the beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add 2 large chopped onions to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Return the beef to the pot. Add 4 cups beef broth, 1 cup dry white wine, and 1 tablespoon dried basil.
  6. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 2 hours, or until beef is tender.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can lima beans, drained and rinsed.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup half-and-half and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until smooth.
  10. Stir the half-and-half mixture into the stew.
  11. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
  12. Transfer the stew to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with 12 refrigerated buttermilk biscuits.
  13. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
