1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
1 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup whole milk
Dumplings:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp melted butter
1/2 cup milk
In a large pot, brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat.
Add onion and garlic; cook until soft.
Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
Slowly add broth while stirring. Mix in Worcestershire, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
Simmer for 10–15 minutes. Add frozen vegetables.
In a bowl, combine dumpling ingredients to make a soft dough.
Drop spoonfuls of dough over the stew. Cover and steam for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
Check that dumplings are cooked through. Serve hot, garnished with herbs if desired.
