Steak & Stout Stew

What is it?

Beef stew slow-cooked with stout comes topped with cheese scone dumplings, all packed into a frozen meal for oven heating. The gravy leans dark and savoury from the stout, while the dumplings are baked from a scone-style dough rather than the usual suet, so they sit somewhere between bread and pastry. COOK’s frozen meals usually arrive ready to heat from frozen, and this one follows that format with a separate topping set over the stew, so the dumplings stay distinct rather than dissolving into the sauce.
