Directions

Step 1
Toss beef cubes with salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup flour until coated. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear beef in batches until browned on all sides. Remove beef and set aside.
Step 2
Add onion, carrots, and potatoes to the Dutch oven. Sauté until slightly softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Step 3
Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute.
Step 4
Return beef to the pot. Pour in beef broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1.5 hours, or until beef is tender.
Step 5
For the dumplings: In a medium bowl, combine self-rising flour and cubed cold butter. Rub butter into flour with fingertips until crumbly. Stir in milk and parsley until just combined to form a soft dough.
Step 6
Drop spoonfuls of dumpling dough onto the simmering stew. Cover tightly and cook for 15-20 minutes without lifting the lid, until dumplings are puffed and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot.
