Servings: persons

1 lb lean stewing beef, cubed
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons oil
1 large onion, sliced
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 teaspoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup beef broth or 1 cup stock
12 ounces dark beer
DUMPLINGS
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
2/3 cup milk

1
Preheat oven to 325.
2
Dredge beef in flour, then brown in oil in a Dutch oven. Remove and set aside.
3
Brown onion and garlic in pan drippings. Add 1 T brown sugar, 2 t of wine vinegar, thyme, pepper, bay leaf, and chopped parsley.
4
Pour stock over stew, and then add beer.
5
Cover, and bake for 2 hours at 325.
6
While the stew is baking, make the dumplings. Mix the flour, baking soda and salt together. Mix the butter in (I melt it first), and then stir in the milk. Batter should be a little bit dry but fluffy.

Remove from oven and place on stove on medium heat. Stir in remaining 2 t of vinegar. When bubbling, drop dumpling batter by the tablespoon into the stew.
8

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
