Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.

  2. 2

    For the beef stew, heat the oil and butter in an ovenproof casserole and fry the beef until browned on all sides.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle over the flour and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the garlic and all the vegetables and fry for 1-2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir in the wine, stock and herbs, then add the Worcestershire sauce and balsamic vinegar, to taste. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  6. 6

    Cover with a lid, transfer to the oven and cook for about two hours, or until the meat is tender.

  7. 7

    For the dumplings, sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Add the suet and enough water to form a thick dough.

  8. 8

    With floured hands, roll spoonfuls of the dough into small balls.

  9. 9

    After two hours, remove the lid from the stew and place the balls on top of the stew. Cover, return to the oven and cook for a further 20 minutes, or until the dumplings have swollen and are tender. (If you prefer your dumplings with a golden top, leave the lid off when returning to the oven.)

  10. 10

    To serve, place a spoonful of mashed potato onto each of four serving plates and top with the stew and dumplings. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
