👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Season beef cubes generously with salt and pepper.

Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, then remove and set aside.
- 3
Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in diced tomatoes, carrots, and potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 5
Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer.
- 6
Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for at least 2 hours, or until the beef is very tender. Stir occasionally, adding more broth or water if needed.

While the stew simmers, prepare the dumplings. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add cold water, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.

About 20 minutes before serving, increase the heat of the stew to a gentle boil. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering stew. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
