Steps:
- First, make the dumplings. Gently fry the bacon until crisp in a large lidded casserole dish. Stir in the thyme leaves, then tip into a bowl and leave to cool slightly. Add the flour and suet to the bacon, and stir everything together. Make a well in the middle, then add the egg yolk, parsley, ½ tsp pepper and 2 tbsp very cold water, and start to mix into a dough. Keep adding water until you a have a firm but pliable dough. Divide the mixture into eight balls and chill until needed.
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Quickly clean the casserole dish with some kitchen paper, then heat the oil. Brown the meat really well in batches, then set aside. Tip in the onions or shallots, carrots and celery, brown well, then stir in the flour. Add the meat and any juices back into the dish, give everything a good stir, then pour in the stock and Guinness. Season, then tuck in the thyme and star anise and bring everything to a simmer. Cover with a lid, then cook in the oven for about 2 hrs until the meat is tender.
- Remove the stew from the oven and arrange the dumplings evenly on top. Put the lid back on and return to the oven for 20 mins, then cook for a final 10 mins with the lid off to brown the dumplings. Bring the dish to the table in all its glory. Spoon into bowls with cabbage and mash, to serve.

BEEF AND STOUT STEW WITH HERB DUMPLINGS

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 225 F. Heat oil in a flameproof casserole dish or dutch oven. Add carrots and onions and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until onions are softened. Meanwhile, put flour into a big Ziploc bag. Season well with salt and pepper. Add beef and shake well to coat. Do this in batches if necessary. Reserve any remaining seasoned flour for later.
- 2. Remove onions and carrots from your cooking dish with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl. Set aside for later. Add beef to your dish, in batches, and cook, stirring frequently, until browned all over. Once finished, return all meat, onions and carrots to the dish and sprinkle in the reserved flour. Pour in your stout and add sugar, bay leaves and thyme. Bring to a boil on the stove. Cover and cook in preheated oven for 7-8 hours.
- 3. To make your dumplings, sift your flour, baking powder and salt together into a large bowl. Stir in your suet or shortening, parsley and add just enough water to make a soft dough. (If dough is too sticky, add a sprinkle of flour. If dough is to solid, add a touch of water.) Shape dough into balls in the palms of your hands. Add to your casserole or dutch oven, then return to the oven for about 30-35 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Serve immediately, sprinkled with parsley.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering, and place the onion and beef into the hot oil.

Add the celery, and cook and stir until the meat is browned, about 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan or deep sauté pan. Tip in the onions, bay leaves and thyme sprigs, and fry over a medium heat for about 8 mins, stirring often, until the onions are turning golden. Raise the heat, add the steak and stir-fry briefly until it starts to lose its raw, red colour. Pour in the wine, stir to deglaze the brown sticky bits from the bottom of the pan, and let it bubble briefly. Lower the heat, sprinkle in the flour and mustard powder, and stir for 1 min. The meat should now be coated in a thick, rich sauce.
- Mix in the tomatoes, stirring to break them down. Stir in the stock and bring to the boil. Tip in the carrots, squash and mushrooms, lower the heat, cover with a lid and leave to simmer gently for 1 hr 40 mins, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook for a further 20 mins, still on a gentle simmer, until the meat is very tender. Season with pepper.
- When the stew is nearly cooked, heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put a 2.25-litre casserole dish in to heat it up. Meanwhile, make the dumplings. Put the flour, mustard powder, some pepper and a pinch of salt in a bowl, then stir in the spring onions and parsley. Mix the oil and buttermilk together and gently stir into the flour. Add a drop or two of cold water, if needed, to pick up any dry bits on the bottom of the bowl, and stir to make a soft and slightly sticky dough. Be as light-handed as you can, as overmixing or overhandling will toughen the dumplings. Cut the dough into 8 pieces and very lightly shape each into a small, rough ball.
- Carefully transfer the stew to the hot casserole dish and remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Sit the dumplings on top and press them down into the gravy to very slightly submerge. Put the dish on a baking sheet and cook for about 20 mins until the dumplings have risen and are golden on top. Serve with a light scattering of thyme leaves.

Tips:
- Use a good quality stout for the best flavor. Guinness is a popular choice, but you can use any stout that you like.
- Brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the meat. This will help to develop a nice crust on the beef and add flavor to the stew.
- Don't be afraid to add more vegetables to the stew. Carrots, celery, and onions are classic additions, but you can also add potatoes, parsnips, or turnips. Feel free to experiment and include your favorite veggies.
- Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is tender. The longer you simmer the stew, the more flavorful it will be.
- Serve the stew hot with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or crusty bread. You can also garnish it with fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme.
- For the herb dumplings, use a combination of fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, and rosemary. You can also add some grated cheese or bread crumbs for extra flavor.
- Drop the dumplings into the stew during the last 15 minutes of cooking. This will ensure that they are cooked through without becoming too dense.
Conclusion:
This beef and stout stew with herb dumplings is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. The beef is tender and flavorful, the vegetables are soft and sweet, and the dumplings are light and fluffy. This stew is sure to be a hit with your family and friends, so make sure to give it a try!
