1. Heat the oven to 150C/fan 130C/gas 2. Heat a little oil in a large ovenproof casserole. Dust the meat with flour and fry in batches until well browned, then scoop out. Add the onions and fry on a fairly high heat until beginning to soften and brown at the edges, add the garlic for a minute, scoop out, add the mushrooms and fry until golden. Pour in the ale, let it bubble up, then return the meat and onions with the thyme. Cover and cook in the oven for 2-2 1/2 hours or until tender.
2. To make the dumplings, mix the butter, flour, horseradish and thyme together and season. Gradually add 1-2 tbsp water to the dry ingredients until you have a firmish dough (you might need a bit more water). Shape into 12 dumplings.
3. To finish the dish, divide the casserole between 4 mini casseroles or heatproof dishes. Put 3 dumplings on top of each and cook, uncovered, for 25 minutes until cooked and golden

  Very easy to prepare and went down a treat with girls and served it with garlic mash. Will cook again.

  Pretty good and the Dumplings are excellent. I added so carrot and also bay leaves in the 2nd time I made this and it made it even better. My first attempt at it I found it a little bland. Good served with spring onion mash.
