40 120 160

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/8 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cups sliced fresh carrots
  • 2 cups cubed peeled potatoes
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 1-1/2 cups sliced celery
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • DUMPLINGS:
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dill weed
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2/3 cup fat-free milk
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

Directions

  • In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add meat; seal bag and shake to coat.
  • In a Dutch oven, brown beef in oil in batches. Add water, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Return meat to the pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Add the carrots, potatoes, onions, celery, parsley, thyme, bay leaf and remaining salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45 minutes or until meat and vegetables are tender. Discard bay leaf.
  • For dumplings, in a large bowl, combine the flour, parsley, baking powder, salt, thyme and dill. Combine the egg, milk and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
  • Drop by tablespoonfuls onto simmering stew. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift the cover while simmering). Yield: 8 servings.
