5. Add the beef and the garlic to the pan and stir thoroughly.
6. Pour in the stout, bring to a simmer and turn the heat low.
7. Add the broken up mushrooms,
8. The carrots
9. And the potatoes, top up with some water or beef stock, stir and bring back to a simmer. Add a stock pot if you don't use fresh beef stock.
10. Add the bay leaves and a few sprigs of thyme, stir and simmer on a very low heat for 30 minutes. I tend to vary the herbs in this recipe. I find any combination of fresh thyme, sage, rosemary and oregano works.
11. While the stew is simmering, make the dumplings. Mix the flour, the suet, some fresh thyme leaves and about 1/2 a tsp of salt together.
