Beef stew is one of those dishes that can be made a hundred different ways. You can use a wide variety of vegetables and spices, and different recipes will even use different cuts of beef.
We've decided to use chuck roast in this recipe for a few reasons. To begin with, it's a budget cut that's easy to find in your grocery store. Everyone can appreciate that! Additionally, chuck roast, which comes from the shoulder, stands up really well to cooking methods like braising and stewing. It's a tougher cut of meat, but that doesn't matter once you've cooked it in a recipe like this. Plus, it has plenty of marbling, which adds tons of flavor. We think it's a total win in this easy beef stew recipe!

Omg yum...Anything with dumplings makes me a happy girl but this recipe sounds like something I've been missing in my life! I don't own or have never used a pressure cooker, do you think this would still come out with the same results if I were to use a slow cooker? I'm not much of a beef eater but I can only imagine the flavor the dumplings would have with the beef flavor infused into them.

This sounds delicious! I love chicken and dumplings, but I have never had beef stew and dumplings! This is a must try for me. I love using my pressure cooker. I have recently suffered an injury that has caused me to spend less time in my much loved kitchen. I am definitely adding this yummy recipe to my cook list. I have never had eggs in dumplings. Does this make the dumplings different from other dumplings?

This certainly sounds like a hearty meal. The dumplings will make it very filling and so no starch, like rice, needs to be added to make this a substantial meal. I will take the advice of cooking the dumplings with the lid off. I was wondering about how the dumplings would be made and was interested to find out which is why I clicked on this recipe. I love dumplings.

@Wild Member: For this recipe, remove the lid before adding the dumplings. Finish cooking the dumplings without the lid on the stove top. Hope this helps! - RecipeLion Editors

Have not tried this recipe yet, BUT have used a pressure cooker for many meals and this recipe gives no indication as to how to cool down the cooker after cooking time is finished. Should the cooker be left to cool down slowly/ Or should the cooker be placed under cold water to cool down quickly? Both options can make quite a huge difference in the out come of the stew as well as the texture of the dumplings.
