Will this turn out ok do you think? Or will it be putrid and I'd be better ordering takeaway??
I'm not calling it synchronicity, just coincidence, but I swear I've just cooked a beef stew for tonight's meal!

The recipe you describe and method will be just fine Lee, and very similar to mine, but I skip the Worcester sauce, use more onion and extra stock cube. I like to drain off stock into a deep sided roasting dish, add to it, then cook suet dumplings in it separately in the oven.

Delicious.

Depends what type of dumplings you want to go with. I'd skip the dumplings if I were you just concentrate on the taste .

McDougal's Suet Dumpling mix and follow the easy instructions. I use several packets and make big dumplings. Doing them in the oven and turning them once or twice, makes them brown and firmish on the outside and really fluffy on the inner.

If you like them in the traditional way, just add them to the stewpot and partially cover for the last 30 to 40 minutes of cooking.

You've got to cook the beef before you thicken it. Local Chinese is looking good atm.

There a bit too much fat in there for me and the meat is slightly pink but other than that it looks fine.
