ingredients
For the stew
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 1/2 pound lean cubed beef
1 large onion, sliced
3 teaspoons all-purpose flour
3 large carrots, peeled and sliced
1 large raw potato, peeled and cubed
2 pints beef stock
salt and pepper, to taste
Dumplings
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 ounces shredded beef suet or shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
water
directions
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the beef. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned on all sides. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
Stir the flour into the beef and mix well. Add the carrots, potato, and beef stock. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan and let cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the stew is simmering, prepare the dumplings. Combine the flour, suet, salt, and baking powder. Mix well. Add water slowly until a soft dough forms.
Form the dough into 2-inch dough balls. Place on top of the beef and vegetables in the pan. Cover the pan and let cook for 20 minutes longer or until the beef is tender and the dumplings are cooked through.
Season the stew to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve hot.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
