Cuisine: German
Ingredients: 1 1/2 lbs beef stew meat, cubed; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; 1 onion, diced; 2 carrots, sliced; 2 celery stalks, chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon caraway seeds; 1 teaspoon paprika; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 4 cups beef broth; 1 cup water; Salt and pepper, to taste; 2 large potatoes, peeled and grated; 1/2 cup all-purpose flour; 1 egg; 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg; Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the beef stew meat and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, caraway seeds, paprika, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the browned beef stew meat to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and water. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the stew to a simmer, then cover and cook over low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.
While the stew is simmering, prepare the potato dumplings. In a bowl, combine the grated potatoes, flour, egg, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into small balls and set aside.
Once the stew is ready, gently drop the potato dumplings into the simmering broth. Cover and cook for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and tender.
Serve the Bavarian Stew with Potato Dumplings hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy this comforting dish with a side of crusty bread or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
