Beef and Guinness Stew is a classic dish that originated in Ireland. It is traditionally made with beef, onions, carrots, potatoes, and of course, Guinness. This recipe is from British chef, Jamie Oliver, who gives this classic stew his own unique twist with the addition of dumplings. His dumplings are a delicious, cheesy delight that perfectly complements the rich sauce and tender chunks of beef. This hearty stew is perfect for a cozy night in or when you want to impress your dinner guests with a comforting, homestyle meal.

Instructions

1.Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat some oil over medium-high heat.
3.Add the beef and cook until browned.
4.Add onions, garlic, celery, mushrooms, bay leaves, thyme, and tomato paste. Cook for 5 minutes.
5.Add the Guinness and beef broth. Bring it to boil.
6.Reduce heat and cover, simmering gently for 2 to 2 1/2 hours until the meat is tender.
7.In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Cut the butter and cheese in and add enough milk to make a soft dough.
8.Drop spoonfuls of dough on top of the stew once the meat is tender. Cover and cook for 20 to 30 minutes until the dumplings are puffed up and golden brown.
