Instructions
Doughboys Method:
-Cut butter into small pieces then add flour, baking powder and salt. Add water or milk to make a soft dough. Drop a teaspoonful into stew, cover pot tightly and cook for 5 minutes.
Stew Method:
- Preheat frying pan to medium heat on stove top, when ready add 1 tbsp oil and butter ( more if needed ) chopped beef, cook until brown on both sides, season with pepper, thyme, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, after the beef starts to brown then add salt and garlic. (Please note only cook garlic for a minute until the flavours start to release don't let it burn because it will charge the flavour,
. Then remove sauté beef out on pan unto a plate.
- Add chopped onion, fry until it begins to brown or caramelize, then add sea salt, thyme, pepper,
- In the same frying pan add 1 tsp butter let melt then add 2 to 3 tbsp flour more if needed, mix it around the pan until the flour starts to cook, add 1 cup of beef or vegetable broth let thicken then set aside until the last 20 minutes of your cooking step.
- In your medium boiler add all your vegetables, fried beef and the remaining beef or vegetable broth, put on medium to low heat on stove top for 1 hour, then at the last 20 minutes add tomatoes and frozen green peas, stirring occasionally, then add your thickening to the pot.
- Then let it continue cooking and add the dough boys for another 5 minutes.
Doing that by following the method posted above and then scoop small amounts of the
dough and drop into the boiler.
- When beef stew and doughboys have cooked remove from heat and start to serve, with doughboys, fresh rolls and cup tea.
- Bonita’s Tips:
- Peel and cut all veggies in chucks, place in a bowl of cold water and let soak before using. When making the thickening you can add more flour to have the stew thicker.
- Taste stew and add more seasonings if needed.
- Add gravy browning if you like the stew to be darker.

In the fall and winter we are always looking for soups and stews to warm ourselves, this stew is a easy one to make and the taste is so comforting. Having the little doughboys just takes it over the top, big chucks of beef and salted pork. So if you are looking for a delicious one pot meal for your family, this is for you.
Another one of my favourites is a strong cup of tea to wash down my meal, having a hot cup of tea after your supper just is settling.

Made the beef stew. The doughboys were delicious. I never followed recipes. I have been making doughboys by the way my mom always made them. I decided to follow your recipe and discovered that yours was the best I ever tasted. The next day they were just as delicious, which really surprised me. Thank you. I won’t go back to my old recipe.
