  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 measuring spoon set

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 clove garlic minced
  • 4 cup beef broth
  • 3 large carrots sliced
  • 3 large potatoes diced
  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoon butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat and brown the ground beef.

  • Stir in beef broth, sliced carrots, diced potatoes, tomato paste, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 1.5 hours.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt for the dumplings.
  • Stir in milk and melted butter to form a dough.
  • Form dough into small balls and place them in a steamer basket.
  • Place the steamer basket over the simmering stew, cover, and steam for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let the stew rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider browning the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, which helps in better caramelization. Additionally, you can add a splash of red wine or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the stew for extra depth. Ensure your dough balls are evenly sized to allow for consistent cooking, and don't forget to taste and adjust the seasoning of the stew before serving.
