Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering, and place the onion and beef into the hot oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the steak seasoning, stir the meat and onions well, and sprinkle with 1 more teaspoon of seasoning. Add the celery, and cook and stir until the meat is browned, about 10 minutes.
• Pour in 2 cups of water to just cover the meat, onion, and celery, bring to a boil, and stir and scrape the browned bits of flavor from the bottom of the pan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until the beef is very tender, about 2 hours. Remove the meat and celery pieces from the pan, set the meat aside, and discard the celery.
• In a bowl, whisk together the gravy mix with 4 cups of water. Add the mixture to the juices in the pot, bring to a boil, and stir the meat back into the gravy mixture. Stir in the turnip and carrots, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, cover, and simmer an additional 20 minutes.
• To make dumplings, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture looks crumbly. Pour in the milk, and lightly stir the mixture just until it combines to form a dough.
• Remove 2 cups of gravy from the pot, and reserve. Drop the dumplings by heaping tablespoon onto the meat and vegetables in the pot, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Do not peek until the time is up. Pour the reserved gravy back over the dumplings, stir lightly, and serve.

Steps:

• Cut the beef or lamb into one-and-a-half-inch cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels.
• Heat the oil in a casserole or heavy stew pan. Brown the meat over medium to high heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute for five minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add the water and herb bouquet. Bring to simmer, turn down heat and cook gently, uncovered, for 45 minutes. Add the potatoes and the carrots. Cut the beans into two-inch pieces and set aside.
• Meanwhile, make the dumplings. Put the suet and the flour in a mixing bowl. Add the salt, herbes de Provence and Cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly. Make a well in the middle and gradually add the water. Knead the mixture until you have a thick dough (as for pastry). Shape into balls slightly smaller than a walnut.
• After the stew has cooked for one hour, add the dumplings. Drop them into the simmering stew. Add the beans, cover and cook at low temperature for one-half hour.

Steps:

• In a large dutch oven, saute the onion in olive oil over med. heat for approximately 5 mins or until tender.
• Add garlic and saute just until fragrant (approx. 1 min) - be careful not to burn.
• Add flour and stir unil mixed.
• Add apple cider or sherry vinegar, light brown sugar, and dijon mustard.
• Stir until combined.
• Slowly stir in broth.
• Add cinnamon, chopped carrots, and chopped potatoes.
• Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until thickened and vegetables are tender (approx. 45 mins).
• Add frozen peas and frozen corn and cook an additional 10 mins or until cooked through.
• Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. (Can be served at this point if not using the dumplings).
• If making the Dumplings -
• Combine Bisquick and skim milk (and fresh herbs if desired) in mixing bowl and stir until combined and soft dough forms.
• Drop by rounded teaspoons into hot stew.
• Cover and cook until done (approx. 10 mins).
• You may need to turn your dumplings in order to cook evenly about 1/2 way through - especially if they are large.

Steps:

• In a bowl, toss cubed beef with flour to coat.
• Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Place flour in a bag or bowl, and add beef cubes. Toss to coat with flour. Place coated cubes in the skillet and fry until well-browned on all sides; remove from pan and set aside.
• Cook onion and garlic in same pan until tender. Return meat to pan with water, parsley, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed. Stir in potatoes, carrots, celery, and green pepper, and continue cooking another 15 minutes. Remove the bay leaf, and stir in mushrooms.
• In a small bowl, mix together baking mix, 3 tablespoons melted butter, and milk until just blended. Drop dough by the tablespoonful into stew. Simmer, uncovered, approximately 10 minutes. Cover, and simmer 10 minutes more, or until dumplings are cooked through, but not dry.
