I made this last night for tea and it was delicious. To make it even better I had the carrots, turnips, thyme and onions growing in my garden. And my neighbour down the road had given me a topside roast a few weeks ago for giving him a crate of tomatoes that I had left over from the summer harvest. All up this was a delicious meal that I was able to make for very little $$$, and most of the ingredients came from the farm.
Just had dumplings in a stew following your dumpling recipe, just had to comment to say how fantastic they were. Easy to follow instructions and the recipe was perfect. My better half's first comment on tasting one of the dumplings was "Oh my God!!!". Yes they were that good. Thank you and please keep posting.
Yes absolutely. Thanks for watching my friend. My latest Cheese video recipe. Cottage cheese ruclips.net/video/Fu6fxs6GLH4/видео.html&lc=UgxiAYOw0q95Dv5ruMV4AaABAg
I'm from the southern USA. I've made similar beef stew many times but served it with cornbread. I'm intrigued by the crispy dumplings and will try that next stew I make. Thanks for explaining it so well, especially with the measurements. We use pounds, ounces, cups, and teaspoons.
Thanks for watching Fide Logos, much appreciated. Digital scales are the way to go, cups, measuring jugs, tsp etc, vary too much across the planet, even ounces can vary, but one thing for certain is, my gram is exactly the same as your gram, wherever you live on the plant, so if you can, use the gram unit on your scales, even for the liquids.

Ironically, the Brits started the whole "Imperial" set of measurements, and now only the USA maintains the use of them and refuses to switch to metric like the rest of the planet. (Well, except Australia. Fun fact: Did you know that an Australian "tablespoon" is bigger than a North American tablespoon? An Australian tablespoon is equivalent to 20mL in metric, whereas a North American tablespoon equals only 15mL. Go figure!)

I've watched this video several times and made this stew many times sometimes with the stout and sometimes without. After all this time, and all the fantastic videos of yours that I watched, this is still may favorite. I don't know if it's the calming chef narrating the video or the comforting stew itself, but of all the beef stew videos out there, this is simply the best one. This stew is perfect on a cold chilly day. Thank you again John! Keep them coming.

Made this for New Year's Eve for 10 people....had to spilt into 2 pots (large and medium). It went down a storm, and my first time making dumplings too. I added small shallots and a couple of teaspoons of Dijon mustard and a big splash of balsamic vinegar to the stew. I also used your tip, and bought a 1.7kg silverside joint, much cheaper than several smaller packets of pre-diced steak. I served with baked potatoes (in foil, then opened for the last 30 mins to brown), red cabbage (with onion, garlic, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves with muscovado sugar, and red wine vinegar) and green beans and mange toute. Easily served 10 with enough left to feed another 4 (I made 12 dumplings). Thanks for making the video....if I could post a photo, you’d see my results!

Making this again for our St. Patrick's day dinner. I have a hard time finding suet, so I've substituted vegetable shortening in place of it and they still turn out great. I also use potatoes instead of the turnip. This is hands down the best beef stew I've ever made!
I'm salivating! Chunky beef and vegetables with crispy dumplings! Food of the gods! Reminds me of younger days when mother prepared fabulous stew and dumplings or steak and kidney pudding with suet pastry! Enjoy your vids too much!

I have been making dumplings the Wrong way for 65 yrs. Well they do say you are never too old to learn . One question John, I like to add some Strong Chedder to the dumplings should I reduce the Suet and fats if I use cheese .

I love John's videos! I love his clear and detailed instructions and I especially appreciate that he shows us how to make his recipes even if you don't have a $600 electric mixer or some other expensive kitchen gadget! I tried this beef stew recipe today. FANTASTIC! It's the best ever. I now understand what the stout contributes (primarily malted grains). I wasn't too keen on the dumplings-- I prefer my dumplings to be lighter and fluffier-- but the dumplings were OK and the stew outstanding. Thanks, John!
I made this today for my family - it was blummin fantastic! I've never been a fan of dumplings as I found them stodgy, but these were just amazing, so light - and the perfect ccompaniment to the luscious stew! Thanks for sharing this John, it 's a new family favourite!
I made this recipe for supper tonight. I'm recovering from a weeks-long illness in which I could not eat much. Today was the first day I could take normal amounts of solid foods. I can't tell you how good this was for me, how great it was to taste comfort food again! --the combination of ingredients blends superbly during oven baking. This was my first time making crispy dumplings... and they came out well...so I want to thank you very much for this stew-pendous dish! 👏👏👏🏞💥💥💥

Thanks ever so much for this John! When I was a small girl, my Dad and I lived with a wonderful English couple here in Canada. I remember fondly so many of her English recipes, especially dumplings! She used to make chicken and dumplings on a regular basis and I would gobble them up until I almost burst. Such a joy to see them recreated here. I'm going to search your recipes for chicken and soft dumplings...that's what she used to make. Thanks again!

You are without doubt a National Treasure John. I dont even bother looking at cook books now I've found you. Gave all my Delia books to the charity shop along with Jamie whatshisname who went bust ? You knock spots off every last one.
My late Mum had a trick for biscuits, dumplings and scones: She mixed up the flour, salt, baking powder, a touch baking soda then cut in the lard, then would freeze it for later use. At need she would measure a cup of the frozen mixture and add 1/3 cup plus 1 Tbsp of milk. You can then shape biscuits or dumplings out of this mixture. For scones, she added a few tablespoons of plain white sugar to the frozen mixture and a few raisins with the milk. All 3 of these worked out wonderfully, and i use them to this day. Shredded cheddar, herbs or minced onion can be added to fancy up the biscuits/dumplings a bit.

I made this stew tonight, it tasted so good and the dumplings were incredible! Probably the most satisfying meal I’ve ever made! Thank you so much for all your recipes!
I found you purely by accident last night and today I am cooking this stew in my brand new STAUB dutch oven. (It was a toss up between this and and your mince beef and dumplings recipe but your stew won.)This will be the very first recipe I will cook in it and I'm delighted to have found this lovely recipe....CRISPY dumplings? Never heard of such before but oh my goodness are they ever YUMMY!!! Thank you John!!
That looks really tasty. Being from southern Appalachia, we usually had a cake of cornbread with our stew. We did eat chicken and dumplings (actual dumplings not phillo pastry) quite often though and I love those, I'll have to try this recipe. The dumplings are fairly similar to the ones I'm used to making, I'm not sure what you call the quick bread we call biscuits here in the States but that's what I was raised on as dumplings.

Thanks for watching my friend. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channel's website, Scotch Pies profoodhomemade.com/scotch-pies/
That looks wonderful. I had never thought of putting chopped green leek tops in my dumplings but use chopped parsley with a shake of garlic powder instead. Can't wait to try the leeks! My mother and her sisters' beef stews tasted identical with an individual flavour. Years ago bullocks were allowed to live longer and grow fatter, besides being hung for longer. Consequently, the chuck steak which they used contained more fat which they cut out and rendered and then browned the meat and vegetables in it. Because the cattle had lived longer they were more muscular, so you had more connective tissue, which if cooked fairly slowly added to the unctuousness of the gravy. I think beef fat gave it that special taste. There are, of course, still some farmers who produce this aged beef but one needs to take out a mortgage to buy it! As you can tell, I'm pretty ancient. I have to admit that I use vegetable suet in the dumplings although I know there is nothing to equal the suet bought from the butcher which you chopped yourself.

John the beef and dumplings were divine never made them with egg and milk only with water but your recipe made them light fluffy with a lovely brown crunchy top. Shall be looking at more of your recipes.😀
John those dumplings were amazing. Crunchy on the outside. Light and fluffy on the inside. Made them with chopped parsley instead of leak. Slow cooked stew for two hours while out shopping then in with the dumplings and in the oven for half hour. So so good. I have always followed the recipe on the suet packet and made them with water but won't be doing that any more under wife's orders. Now a permanent fixture in the family recipe book. Subscribed. Many thanks.

been making beef stew and dumplings for 30+ years, it has always been everyone's favourite. I have tried different variations over the years but always go back to the simple recipe which is the best. I also find that using a roasting joint is much better than stewing beef. Just buy a nice big piece of brisket and cut it into large 2" pieces. Buy using larger pieces, you can cook it to the point where it's falling apart, like pulled beef on the outside, which gives you nice thick beefy gravy full of beef bits, but still have nice big chunks of beef as well. It is also much nicer if you use the beef's own fat to fry it, rather than using oil. then use that remaining fat to fry the onions too. For the dumplings I use 1 part suet to 1.5 parts flour e.g. 1 x 200g pack of suet to 300g of flour. 1 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder just enough water to form into squidgy balls I tried your dumpling recipe tonight for a change, but everyone still preferred my usual recipe. For the stew, I have always used either mixed herbs or Italian herbs, works perfectly. I also add a couple of tablespoons of Worcester sauce. The original recipie was beef, carrots, onions and buttons mushrooms, but I don't use mushrooms anymore as kids don't like them. I sometimes add whole baby onions for myself and the wife. I have tried various ales over the years, and London Pride has proved to be the best so far, it's stronger than most.
thats a posh recipe for the dumplings, ive always just used 2 to 1 flour to suet and added water, plus salt pepper. il think il give this a go next time.
Hi John I am 68 in December and have made many a beef stew over the years... but I have never bothered with the dumplings as I remember them from when I was young as bland balls of stodge!. But this recipe of your looked irresistable. Oh my goodness what a tasty accompaniment those leek dumplings are and especially with the crusty tops! My husband (also a John) loved it as did I... I think the dumplings will become part of all my stews from now on. You are an honest to goodness, down to earth basic cook and I love your recipes! Keep them coming x

@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade I can't say I've heard of mince and dumplings but I have made mince on toast (I like my toast rather burnt especially for this) He was very fond of cakes and stuff like that which I don't make any more due to trying to watch my weight and digestive problems. I used to make the Christmas Puddings and Cake and I make a mean mince pie/s Don't make anything like that now.

John hi, Your beef stew was outstanding on Sunday. My In-laws were amazed. I plated them up in extra large Yorkshire puddings for fun. And the crispy leek dumplings were enormous and tasted fab. All your tips and experience was much appreciated. I even wet-stone sharpened my knives! I slow-cooked in my Sage electric sow cooker for 4-5 hrs. Then I thickened the gravy with the corn flour, finished the dumplings in a hot oven for 30 mins. That tip of putting the dumplings spoon in the hot gravy was brill. Cheers 👍

It's July of 2021, I live in the South in the States, it's like 100 degrees outside, but I'm sitting here planning when I can make this because it looks amazing.
Been very hot in the UK too, not as hot as you though. Thanks for watching my friend. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Scotch Pies profoodhomemade.com/scotch-pies/
That's a pretty nice oven you've got there. It has a well-sized side oven for doing oven stuff, so you can store pans and skillets in the larger sections.
I haven't made stew and dumplings for years John and you've helped me a lot, have friends from England visiting us in Scotland on Sunday and wanted to do a nice hearty meal for them :)
What a great tip about dipping the spoon in the gravy so the dumpling mix doesn't stick to it. Last time I attempted to make dumplings the mix stuck to the spoon, so I tried wiping it with my fingers but then it was stuck to me and the spoon 😂 so much dumpling mix wasted that day!!! Can't wait to try this recipe, looks so good I can almost smell it through the screen 🤤

I made this last night for tea and it was delicious. To make it even better I had the carrots, turnips, thyme and onions growing in my garden. And my neighbour down the road had given me a topside roast a few weeks ago for giving him a crate of tomatoes that I had left over from the summer harvest. All up this was a delicious meal that I was able to make for very little $$$, and most of the ingredients came from the farm.
Just had dumplings in a stew following your dumpling recipe, just had to comment to say how fantastic they were. Easy to follow instructions and the recipe was perfect. My better half's first comment on tasting one of the dumplings was "Oh my God!!!". Yes they were that good. Thank you and please keep posting.

I'm from the southern USA. I've made similar beef stew many times but served it with cornbread. I'm intrigued by the crispy dumplings and will try that next stew I make. Thanks for explaining it so well, especially with the measurements. We use pounds, ounces, cups, and teaspoons.
Thanks for watching Fide Logos, much appreciated. Digital scales are the way to go, cups, measuring jugs, tsp etc, vary too much across the planet, even ounces can vary, but one thing for certain is, my gram is exactly the same as your gram, wherever you live on the plant, so if you can, use the gram unit on your scales, even for the liquids.

Ironically, the Brits started the whole "Imperial" set of measurements, and now only the USA maintains the use of them and refuses to switch to metric like the rest of the planet. (Well, except Australia. Fun fact: Did you know that an Australian "tablespoon" is bigger than a North American tablespoon? An Australian tablespoon is equivalent to 20mL in metric, whereas a North American tablespoon equals only 15mL. Go figure!)

I've watched this video several times and made this stew many times sometimes with the stout and sometimes without. After all this time, and all the fantastic videos of yours that I watched, this is still may favorite. I don't know if it's the calming chef narrating the video or the comforting stew itself, but of all the beef stew videos out there, this is simply the best one. This stew is perfect on a cold chilly day. Thank you again John! Keep them coming.
Fantastic Kimberly! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and it turned out well.
This is by far the best recipe I have seen for this dish. Perfect! Thank you John.

Made this for New Year's Eve for 10 people....had to spilt into 2 pots (large and medium). It went down a storm, and my first time making dumplings too. I added small shallots and a couple of teaspoons of Dijon mustard and a big splash of balsamic vinegar to the stew. I also used your tip, and bought a 1.7kg silverside joint, much cheaper than several smaller packets of pre-diced steak. I served with baked potatoes (in foil, then opened for the last 30 mins to brown), red cabbage (with onion, garlic, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves with muscovado sugar, and red wine vinegar) and green beans and mange toute. Easily served 10 with enough left to feed another 4 (I made 12 dumplings). Thanks for making the video....if I could post a photo, you’d see my results!

Making this again for our St. Patrick's day dinner. I have a hard time finding suet, so I've substituted vegetable shortening in place of it and they still turn out great. I also use potatoes instead of the turnip. This is hands down the best beef stew I've ever made!
I'm salivating! Chunky beef and vegetables with crispy dumplings! Food of the gods! Reminds me of younger days when mother prepared fabulous stew and dumplings or steak and kidney pudding with suet pastry! Enjoy your vids too much!

I have been making dumplings the Wrong way for 65 yrs. Well they do say you are never too old to learn .

I love John's videos! I love his clear and detailed instructions and I especially appreciate that he shows us how to make his recipes even if you don't have a $600 electric mixer or some other expensive kitchen gadget! I tried this beef stew recipe today. FANTASTIC! It's the best ever. I now understand what the stout contributes (primarily malted grains). I wasn't too keen on the dumplings-- I prefer my dumplings to be lighter and fluffier-- but the dumplings were OK and the stew outstanding. Thanks, John!
Thanks for watching Pat much appreciated, if you made the dumplings correctly, they would and should have been light and fluffy.

Thanks ever so much for this John! When I was a small girl, my Dad and I lived with a wonderful English couple here in Canada. I remember fondly so many of her English recipes, especially dumplings!

😂🤣 Sorry Dave.
Great recipe. Making my mouth water. Delicious!
Hope you enjoy
My late Mum had a trick for biscuits, dumplings and scones: She mixed up the flour, salt, baking powder, a touch baking soda then cut in the lard, then would freeze it for later use. At need she would measure a cup of the frozen mixture and add 1/3 cup plus 1 Tbsp of milk. You can then shape biscuits or dumplings out of this mixture. For scones, she added a few tablespoons of plain white sugar to the frozen mixture and a few raisins with the milk. All 3 of these worked out wonderfully, and i use them to this day. Shredded cheddar, herbs or minced onion can be added to fancy up the biscuits/dumplings a bit.
Great tip Wilf, thanks. 👍😁

That looks really tasty. Being from southern Appalachia, we usually had a cake of cornbread with our stew. We did eat chicken and dumplings (actual dumplings not phillo pastry) quite often though and I love those, I'll have to try this recipe. The dumplings are fairly similar to the ones I'm used to making, I'm not sure what you call the quick bread we call biscuits here in the States but that's what I was raised on as dumplings.

I found it funny you said Guinness found at a local store. It’s everywhere and it’s a constant in this house. You must not drink beer much. 😊
That looks wonderful. I had never thought of putting chopped green leek tops in my dumplings but use
chopped parsley with a shake of garlic powder instead. Can't wait to try the leeks! My mother and her sisters' beef stews tasted identical with an individual flavour. Years ago bullocks were allowed to live longer and grow fatter, besides being hung for longer. Consequently, the chuck steak which they used contained more fat which they cut out and rendered and then browned the meat and vegetables in it. Because the cattle had lived longer they were more muscular, so you had more connective tissue, which if cooked fairly slowly added to the unctuousness of the gravy. I think beef fat gave it that special taste. There are, of course, still some farmers who produce this aged beef but one needs to take out a mortgage to buy it! As you can tell, I'm pretty ancient. I have to admit that I use vegetable suet in the dumplings although I know there is nothing to equal the suet bought from the butcher which you chopped yourself.

John those dumplings were amazing. Crunchy on the outside. Light and fluffy on the inside. Made them with chopped parsley instead of leak. Slow cooked stew for two hours while out shopping then in with the dumplings and in the oven for half hour. So so good.
I have always followed the recipe on the suet packet and made them with water but won't be doing that any more under wife's orders. Now a permanent fixture in the family recipe book.

@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade It's in the oven 😊 my son made the dumplings all ready to go ❤ can't wait! I changed to wine
been making beef stew and dumplings for 30+ years, it has always been everyone's favourite. I have tried different variations over the years but always go back to the simple recipe which is the best.
I also find that using a roasting joint is much better than stewing beef. Just buy a nice big piece of brisket and cut it into large 2" pieces. Buy using larger pieces, you can cook it to the point where it's falling apart, like pulled beef on the outside, which gives you nice thick beefy gravy full of beef bits, but still have nice big chunks of beef as well.
It is also much nicer if you use the beef's own fat to fry it, rather than using oil. then use that remaining fat to fry the onions too.
For the dumplings I use
1 part suet to 1.5 parts flour
e.g. 1 x 200g pack of suet to 300g of flour.
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
just enough water to form into squidgy balls
I tried your dumpling recipe tonight for a change, but everyone still preferred my usual recipe.
For the stew, I have always used either mixed herbs or Italian herbs, works perfectly. I also add a couple of tablespoons of Worcester sauce.
The original recipie was beef, carrots, onions and buttons mushrooms, but I don't use mushrooms anymore as kids don't like them. I sometimes add whole baby onions for myself and the wife.
I have tried various ales over the years, and London Pride has proved to be the best so far, it's stronger than most.
Thanks for the recipe my friend.
thats a posh recipe for the dumplings, ive always just used 2 to 1 flour to suet and added water, plus salt pepper.
il think il give this a go next time.
Hi John I am 68 in December and have made many a beef stew over the years... but I have never bothered with the dumplings as I remember them from when I was young as bland balls of stodge!. But this recipe of your looked irresistable. Oh my goodness what a tasty accompaniment those leek dumplings are and especially with the crusty tops! My husband (also a John) loved it as did I... I think the dumplings will become part of all my stews from now on. You are an honest to goodness, down to earth basic cook and I love your recipes! Keep them coming x
Thank you for your kind words Lyn I'm pleased you and John enjoyed the recipe. They're always a favourite in our house.

@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade I can't say I've heard of mince and dumplings but I have made mince on toast (I like my toast rather burnt especially for this) He was very fond of cakes and stuff like that which I don't make any more due to trying to watch my weight and digestive problems. I used to make the Christmas Puddings and Cake and I make a mean mince pie/s Don't make anything like that now. I'm Maltese born and I never took to Christmas pudding or cake but like the mince pies and I still make my own bread.
Omg just like my Mum's about 60yrs ago. Yummy. Love this man's British traditional cooking legend ❤😊

Welcome back, John! I'm sorry I didn't know you had surgery. I thought you might have gone on a vacation at first. I was getting a little worried, but I was very glad to see you've returned today. Very happy that you're well, Sir. This stew had my mouth watering in no time! I will try making it! Kevin

Just the way my mum used to do it, apart from the ale which is a brilliant idea! Looks bloody lovely
John hi, Your beef stew was outstanding on Sunday. My In-laws were amazed. I plated them up in extra large Yorkshire puddings for fun. And the crispy leek dumplings were enormous and tasted fab. All your tips and experience was much appreciated. I even wet-stone sharpened my knives! I slow-cooked in my Sage electric sow cooker for 4-5 hrs. Then I thickened the gravy with the corn flour, finished the dumplings in a hot oven for 30 mins. That tip of putting the dumplings spoon in the hot gravy was brill.
Cheers 👍

That's a great knife. Yum, this looks lovely for a winters day in Australia 🇦🇺
I've never even thought of doing drop-biscuits on top of the soup. I'm now thinking of New England clam chowder with cheddar bay biscuits finished on the topside.
Thanks for watching my friend.
I like your videos because it sounds like Winnie the Pooh is narrating cooking videos...
Really enjoyed making that recipe, John, and I love your accent. I lived in the UK for 20+ years, but down in Suffolk...
Glad you enjoyed them Jack, thanks for watching mate.
This recipe took me back to my boarding school years in the Lake District. Will definitely make it, can’t wait !
Why aye, John - that stew looks reyt good ! Always enjoy watching a Cook/Chef who gets on with 'it' without all the faffing about. Your food is delicious food, properly prepared and cooked - they can keep their 'foams' and their swipes of pea puree across the plate. Nice work, John...glad to be a new subscriber.
Thanks for watching and subscribing Joan, much appreciated. Very kind comment, thank you.
@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade You're welcome, John.
It's July of 2021, I live in the South in the States, it's like 100 degrees outside, but I'm sitting here planning when I can make this because it looks amazing.

That's a pretty nice oven you've got there. It has a well-sized side oven for doing oven stuff, so you can store pans and skillets in the larger sections.
I haven't made stew and dumplings for years John and you've helped me a lot, have friends from England visiting us in Scotland on Sunday and wanted to do a nice hearty meal for them :)
What a great tip about dipping the spoon in the gravy so the dumpling mix doesn't stick to it. Last time I attempted to make dumplings the mix stuck to the spoon, so I tried wiping it with my fingers but then it was stuck to me and the spoon 😂 so much dumpling mix wasted that day!!! Can't wait to try this recipe, looks so good I can almost smell it through the screen 🤤
