Preparation
STEP 1
Combine beef and flour into a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper, toss to combine and shake off excess flour.
STEP 2
Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and generously coat with oil. Working in batches, brown meat and place in crockpot. When all meat is browned, add wine to pan and bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom.
STEP 3
Add wine and remaining stew ingredients to crockpot. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 8-10 hours, until beef is tender.
STEP 4
Combine dumpling ingredients and stir together with a fork. Drop by the spoonful into stew. Do not stir. Cover and cook on high for 25-35 minutes longer, or until dumplings are cooked through. Serve hot.
Options
To cook on stove-top in a heavy-bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven, cover and simmer for 1 ½ - 2 hours, or until meat is tender, then add dumplings and cook for 25-35 minutes until dumplings are cooked through.
