Ingredients:  
4½c. Beef Stock
1½lb. Stew Beef (well-trimmed)
2 Large Carrots
16oz. Russet Potatoes
1 Yellow Onion
1 Clove Garlic
4 Large Green Onions
1 Scotch Bonnet Pepper
4 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
1 Bayleaf
1 16oz. Can Coconut Milk
1½c All Purpose Flour

Directions:
Directions:
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 heavy-bottomed saucepan. Combine the beef with the liquid, thyme, onion, garlic, bay leaf, 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 washed potatoes & cut into pieces the size of large potato wedges. 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. Stir the ingredients, and simmer gently, covered, for another 25 to 35 minutes, or until the meat and vegetables are tender, and cooked through. 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.
