*Beef in Stout with Dumplings*




So, the Hubby wanted an Irish meal one night and I had some left over Guinness so we tried a twist on an old Irish Favorite...  Beef in Stout with Suet Dumplings!  Try It!
*warning, it does have a very "Stout" flavor left in the meat which some people do not like so if you aren't a big fan of Stout in general use half beer & half water or beef stock*

INGREDIENTS (for the Beef in Stout):
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Small bag of Baby Carrots
4 Stocks of Celery (cut into small chunks)
4 Tbsp Flour
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
2 lbs. Braising Beef (cut into chunks)
2 Cups Stout (I use 2 bottles of Guinness Draught)
    *if you don't like beer that much, use 1 bottle of Beer & 1 Cup Water*
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp Thyme

INGREDIENTS (for the Dumplings):
2 Cups Flour
1 Cup Shredded Suet
4 Tbsp Parsley
pinch of Salt
appx. 8 Tbsp Water


DIRECTIONS:
1.) Preheat Oven to 325*
2.) Heat Olive Oil in a Large Skillet over Low heat.
3.) Add in Carrots & Celery and Cook for 5 minutes
4.) While the Veggies are cooking, Get a Large Ziplock Bag and pour in the Flour with a little Salt & Pepper.  Shake Well.
5.) Add Beef to the Ziplock bag & Shake until all Beer is WELL Coated
6.) Set Aside the Beef until Veggies are Done.
7.) Remove Veggies from the Skillet & place in Bowl for later
     (use slotted spoon so all the juices stay in skillet)
8.) Add Beef into the Skillet (in small batches if needed) & Cook until Browned
9.) Add ALL Beef & ALL Veggies back into the Skillet & Mix Together.  Pour in Stout.
10.) In Small Bowl, Mix together any remaining flour from ziplock bag, sugar, & thyme
11.) Sprinkle Mixture on top of Skillet Mixture and Bring entire Pot to a BOIL.
12.) Once boiling, Transfer ALL contents to a Large Casserole Dish and Cover.
13.) Bake in Oven for 1 Hour & 30 Minutes.

While Beef in Stout is Baking...
1.) Mix together Flour with a pinch of Salt, Suet, & Parsley
2.) Add in enough Water to make a Soft Shapable Dough
3.) Take Dough & Make 8 Small Balls.
4.) When Beef has cooked for 1 hour & 30 minutes... add the Dumplings to the top of the Beef in Stout & Cook for 30 more minutes

ENJOY this Irish Dinner with Family!
