Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
- Add the milk and mix. The batter should be thick enough to be scooped and dropped from a spoon. Let it rest for a few minutes.
- Once the boiling stew or soup is nearly done, drop spoonfuls of the batter on top. Be sure that there is plenty of liquid in the pot, but try to keep the dumplings on top of the vegetables and meat.
- Cover and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the dumplings. Do not remove the lid until it is time to check the dumplings; when ready, a toothpick inserted into one of the dumplings should come out clean.
- Once done, spoon the stew or soup with the dumplings into a bowl and enjoy.

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. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the steak seasoning, stir the meat and onions well, and sprinkle with 1 more teaspoon of seasoning. Add the celery, and cook and stir until the meat is browned, about 10 minutes.
- Pour in 2 cups of water to just cover the meat, onion, and celery, bring to a boil, and stir and scrape the browned bits of flavor from the bottom of the pan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until the beef is very tender, about 2 hours. Remove the meat and celery pieces from the pan, set the meat aside, and discard the celery.
- In a bowl, whisk together the gravy mix with 4 cups of water. Add the mixture to the juices in the pot, bring to a boil, and stir the meat back into the gravy mixture. Stir in the turnip and carrots, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, cover, and simmer an additional 20 minutes.
- To make dumplings, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture looks crumbly. Pour in the milk, and lightly stir the mixture just until it combines to form a dough.
- Remove 2 cups of gravy from the pot, and reserve. Drop the dumplings by heaping tablespoon onto the meat and vegetables in the pot, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Do not peek until the time is up. Pour the reserved gravy back over the dumplings, stir lightly, and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right flour: All-purpose flour is a good option for dumplings, but you can also use bread flour or a combination of the two. Bread flour will give your dumplings a chewier texture.
- Use cold butter or shortening: Cold butter or shortening will help to keep your dumplings light and fluffy. If you use melted butter or shortening, your dumplings will be more dense.
- Work the dough as little as possible: Overworking the dough will make your dumplings tough. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, then stop.
- Let the dough rest before rolling it out: This will help the dough to relax and make it easier to roll out.
- Cut the dumplings into even-sized pieces: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Cook the dumplings in a simmering liquid: Boiling the dumplings will make them tough. Simmering them will allow them to cook through gently.
- Serve the dumplings immediately: Dumplings are best served hot and fresh out of the pot.
Conclusion:
Dumplings are a delicious and versatile addition to beef stew. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you can make perfect dumplings every time. So next time you're making beef stew, be sure to add some dumplings to the pot. You won't be disappointed!
