Equipment

  • Oven
  • Casserole dish
  • Frying pan
  • Bowl

Ingredients
  

For the Beef Stew:

  • 525 g Stewing Steak cut into cubes
  • 2 tbsp Plain Flour seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1 Large Onion sliced
  • 3 Carrots sliced
  • 1 Swede chopped
  • 375 g Beef Stock
  • 1 tsp Tomato Puree

For the Atora Suet Dumplings:

  • 100 g Self-Raising Flour
  • 50 g Atora Original Suet
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • Cold Water to mix

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Beef: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F, Gas Mark 4). Cut the stewing steak into cubes and toss in the seasoned flour.
  • Brown the Beef and Vegetables: Fry the vegetables in oil until golden, then remove from the pan. Divide the cubes of meat into four batches, browning each batch separately in the oil.
  • Combine and Bake: Place the meat, vegetables, stock, and tomato puree in a casserole dish and season well. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 2 ½ hours until the beef is tender.
  • Make the Dumplings: Mix the self-raising flour, Atora suet, and salt in a bowl. Add cold water gradually until a firm but soft dough forms.
  • Add the Dumplings: Divide the dumpling dough into 6 or 8 pieces. Drop the dumplings into the bubbling stew 20 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
  • Cook the Dumplings: Cover the casserole dish tightly and continue cooking for 20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and have doubled in size.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Serve the beef stew and dumplings hot, straight from the oven.

Notes

Brown beef in batches. Add dumplings to boiling stew. Don't open lid while dumplings cook.
