Ingredients: Stewing Steak, 3 Medium Size Onions, 3 Carrots, Suede
(Same weight as carrots), 2 Large Potatoes, Suet Pudding Mix
Plain Flour, Oxo Cubes x2, Brown Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, Soya Sauce, Tomato Puree, Salt & Water. Would be advisable to buy a casserole dish for this recipe
Gather all your ingredients together as show. Missing from this picture are 3 carrots and soy sauce,
Note: Make sure up until the point you add the dumplings the casserole dish must have the lid on when put in the oven.
Cube the beef and place in the casserole dish, add boiling hot water to half the volume of the dish, don't worry if this look's like too much water, then place in a pre heated oven 160d (Fan) while preparing the following.  
Cut in small chunks your onions, suede and carrots. Baring in mind you should have an equal weight of carrots to suede. 
Crumble on top your Oxo cubes. 
Add about 2 table spoons or more of brown sauce as shown, also add 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce and a tablespoon of Soy sauce. You can add as much of these sauces as you fancy according to taste.  
Finally add a tablespoon of tomato puree, again according to you personal taste you can add less or more.  
Once all this is done, put back inside the oven, this is where you need to be patient, leave in the oven for 1 hour, the take out and stir, Put back in for 1 hour and the stir, you may need to add water if the volume drops, continue this to max 3 hours
Once you have a nice thickness and the beef and vegetables are tender to soft cube your potatoes and add to the pot, put back in oven and bake until the potatoes are very soft, say 3/4 to 1 hour.  
The Dumplings require 4 tablespoons of Atora pudding mix and 8 tablespoons of plain flour, add to a mixing bowel or jug (as illustrated) the add cold water, until you get a sticky dough, the consistency of chewing gum. 
Remove the casserole dish from the oven, hopefully it should look a bit like this, well cooked soft and with a lovely aroma.  
Using spoons, I find this easiest drop 4 portions of your dumpling  Mix in the casserole dish. 
See, I told you so. Then you need to put this back in the oven, this time don't put the lid on the dish, so you can brown the tops of the dumplings. Leave for about 20 to 40 min's until the tops of the dumplings are crusty 
Once all cooked it should hopefully look something like this. 
Serve up in a deep plate and enjoy.
