đšâđł Instruktioner
- 1
Season beef cubes generously with salt and pepper.
- 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches until well-seared on all sides. Remove beef and set aside.
- 3
Add chopped onions and carrots to the pot. Sauté until onions are softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
- 4
Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 5
Add the pureed tomatoes, bay leaf, and thyme. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld.
- 6
Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, ensuring the meat is mostly submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.
- 7
While the stew simmers, prepare the millet dumplings. In a bowl, combine millet flour with a pinch of salt. Gradually add water, mixing until a stiff dough forms. You may need slightly more or less water depending on the flour.
- 8
Roll the dough into small, bite-sized balls or quenelles.
- 9
About 20 minutes before the stew is ready, gently drop the millet dumplings into the simmering stew. Ensure they are submerged. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and have puffed up.
- 10
Remove the bay leaf. Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. The sauce should have thickened nicely.
- 11
Serve the beef stew with the millet dumplings, garnished with fresh parsley.
đĄ Proffstips
- âFor more tender beef, consider a slow cooker or oven braising after the initial searing and sautĂ©ing.
- âThe consistency of the millet dough is key; it should be firm enough to hold its shape but not dry.
- âEnsure the dumplings are cooked in simmering liquid and covered to steam properly.
