Indulge in a hearty winter dish of beef and mushrooms topped with cheesy chive dumplings.
Ingredients:
  • 250ml ale
  • 1kg Beef Chuck Casserole Steak, trimmed, cut into 4cm pieces
  • 2 carrots, peeled, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 2 celery sticks, chopped
  • 1 large brown onion, chopped
  • 35g plain flour
  • 250ml beef stock
  • 48.80 gm Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 dried bay leaves
  • 100g button or cup mushrooms, halved
  • 100g brown mushrooms, halved
  • Chopped chives, to serve
  • 225g self-raising flour
  • 40.00 ml chopped chives
  • 60g tasty cheese
  • 50g butter, melted
  • 140g yoghurt
  • 60ml milk
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, sear the beef in batches for 5 minutes until browned all over. Transfer to a plate.
  • In a pan, heat the remaining oil over high heat. Add carrot, celery, and onion and cook until softened, about 5 mins. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 min. Sprinkle in flour and cook for another min. Pour in ale and simmer for 2 mins. Stir in stock, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, and bay leaves. Season to taste. Bring to a boil, then add the beef back to the pan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 hours. Finally, add mushrooms and cook for another 15 mins.
  • Preheat your oven to 200C. In a bowl, mix flour, chives, cheese, butter, yogurt, and milk. Season well. Create a well in the center and combine everything until a dough forms. Roll the mixture into balls using level tablespoons.
  • Remove and discard the rosemary and bay leaves from the stew. Top the beef mixture with dumplings. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the dumplings are doubled in size and cooked through. Sprinkle with chives before serving.
