Slow cooker beef with cheesy dumplings
Serves 8 Prep 20 mins Cooking 4¾ hours
1 tbs olive oil
800g Coles Australian No Added Hormones Gravy Beef, cut into 3cm pieces
1 brown onion, cut into wedges
2 celery sticks, thickly sliced diagonally
1 large carrot, peeled, thickly sliced
200g brown mushrooms, halved
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 bacon rashers, coarsely chopped
¼ cup (35g) plain flour
1 cup (250ml) dry red wine
400g can diced tomatoes
1 cup (250ml) beef stock
2 dried bay leaves
2 thyme sprigs
2 rosemary sprigs
Cheesy dumplings
1¼ cups (185g) self-raising flour
½ cup (85g) cornmeal (polenta)
2 tbs finely chopped chives
2 tsp finely chopped rosemary
1 tsp finely chopped thyme
1½ cups (180g) coarsely grated cheddar
100g butter, melted
1 cup (250g) buttermilk
1 Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Cook the beef, in 4 batches, turning occasionally, for 5 mins or until brown all over. Transfer to a slow cooker.
2 Heat remaining oil in the pan over medium heat. Cook the onion, celery, carrot, mushroom, garlic and bacon, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins or until vegetables begin to brown. Sprinkle over the flour. Cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until well combined. Add to the beef in the slow cooker. Pour over the wine, tomato and stock. Add the bay leaves, thyme and rosemary. Cook for 4 hours on high (or 6 hours on low) or until meat is very tender.
3 Preheat oven to 200°C. To make the cheesy dumplings, combine the flour, cornmeal, chives, rosemary, thyme and ½ cup (60g) of the cheddar in a bowl. Season. Make a well in the centre. Add the butter and buttermilk and stir until just combined.
4 Transfer beef mixture to a casserole pan. Spoon over the dumpling mixture. Bake, covered, for 10 mins or until dumplings are just cooked through. Sprinkle with the remaining cheddar. Bake, uncovered, for 5-7 mins or until cheddar melts and is golden brown.
