Smoky beef & black bean stew with cornbread dumplings recipe

Pat the beef dry and toss in the flour and plenty of seasoning until well coated. Add to the bowl of your slow cooker, or a casserole dish along with the chipotle paste, paprika, red onion, peppers, garlic, tomato purée, sugar and beef stock. If cooking in the slow cooker, cover and cook on high for 5 hrs, or until the beef is tender. If making in the oven, cover and cook at 170C/150C fan/gas 3 for 2 hrs, topping up with extra stock or water, if needed.
