Make with lamb or beef. Both are yummy, though I do prefer it with the lamb meat.

I'm not a big fan of stews, but this one was really good. The flavors were well-balanced and the beef was very tender.

This stew is a bit bland. I would add more herbs and spices next time.

The dumplings were a bit too dense for my taste, but the stew itself was delicious.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover beef. I used a chuck roast and it turned out really well.
