SUNNY'S BEEF AND BARLEY STEW WITH CRUSTY PEPPER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Trace and cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the size of the top of the Dutch oven to use as a lid. Set aside.
• In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the butter and olive oil. Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper and, when the pan is hot enough, add the beef. Be careful to cook the beef in batches if there isn't enough space. (Overcrowding will cause steaming, not searing.) Sear the cubes on each, and side then remove to a plate with a slotted spoon. In the fat left from the searing, add the carrots, parsnip, celery, onions, thyme, paprika, a pinch of salt and a grind or 2 of pepper. Saute until tender, about 8 minutes. Raise the heat and pour in the wine. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any bits on the bottom of the pan. Raise the heat to a simmer, and then add the beef cubes back to the pot along with the bay leaves and beef broth. Cover with the prepared parchment paper and cook in the oven for 2 hours.
• At the 2 hour mark, remove the parchment, taste, and season with salt, if needed. Add the barley, and stir in 1 cup of water if the stew looks too dry. Cook, covered with the actual lid for this step, until the barley is cooked through and tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with Crusty Pepper Bread.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides. Place on a baking sheet and bake until the edges of the bread just begin to turn golden, about 10 minutes.

BEEF PEPPERPOT STEW WITH SPILLERS' DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• For the pepperpot: Wash the stewing beef and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut the meat into cubes around 5/8-inch thick and transfer to a large ovenproof casserole or heavy-bottomed saucepan. Combine the beef with the liquid, thyme, ginger, onion, garlic, bay leaf, and allspice berries, then adjust the seasonings with salt, and pepper. Bring the ingredients to a boil, skim the froth from the top of the liquid, cover with a lid, reduce the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Peel the yams, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin. Cut the yam into pieces the size of large potato wedges. Cut the sweet potato and pumpkin into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Discard the pumpkin seeds. Bash the green onions with a heavy knife to release their flavor. Dice the chiles (wear gloves), and add with the vegetables to the pot along with the coconut milk and lima beans. Stir the ingredients, and simmer gently, covered, for another 25 to 35 minutes, or until the meat and vegetables are tender, and cooked through. Add the greens around 13 minutes before the cooking time is up.
• For the dumplings: Mix the flour and salt together in a mixing bowl, and then gradually stir in the water to form a dough. Pull off 24 small pieces from the dough 1 piece at a time, and roll them into rounds or long pointy-ended ovals. Cook's Note: If you want bigger dumplings, use a double-sized piece of dough, and roll it into a round, pressing a small indentation into the top of it with your thumb.
• Drop the dumplings into the hot pot immediately after rolling, around 8 minutes before the cooking time is up. Taste the dumpling, and add extra salt, and pepper, if necessary.

BEEF PEPPER STEAK

DR. PEPPER BEEF STEW

• Add beef stock or bouillon, Dr. Pepper, carrots, onions and celery.
• Cook at a low temperature until meat is very tender, about 2 hours.
• Add frozen peas and cook at least 10 minutes longer.

BEEF STEW WITH RED BELL PEPPER

Steps:

• Brown the diced beef in olive oil in the saucepan and leave aside for later.
• Chop the onion, the garlic clove and the pepper very thinly. In the remaining oil, sauté the finely chopped vegetables. Note: if you're not going to use a blender with the sauce and prefer it with chunks, a thinly chopped pepper will release its flavour more efficiently.
• Once the onion is golden and translucent, add the white wine, the salt and the black pepper. Add some water (for now fairly roughly, just to keep it liquid). Now it's the moment (OPTIONAL) to emulsify it with a blender.
• Add the thyme, the rosemary, the bay leaf and the cloves.
• Add the meat and the potato (chopped chunky), cover with more warm water. Place a lid on top and leave on medium heat to finish cooking. Don't allow the mixture to boil very vigorously, just enough to cook the meat. In a pressure cooker it will take around 15 minutes but it varies a lot depending on the model. With a saucepan, it will usually take around 45-50 minutes.
• Remember to keep watching the water level if in a saucepan to avoid too much water loss. Add water when needed, try the sauce if in doubt to tell whether it needs further adjusting with salt/pepper.
