This version is made even more special with the addition of herb dumplings, which provide a savory counterpart to the rich and tender beef. The recipe calls for lean stewing beef, which is marbled with just the right amount of fat to make it tender and flavorful. The carrots, onions, and mushrooms add depth of flavor and plenty of nutrients, while the red wine gives the broth a rich, robust flavor. The herb dumplings are the perfect finishing touch, adding a savory and fragrant layer to the already satisfying dish.
