Beef & Onion Casserole with cheese and herb dumplings

1 kilo of beef (I just buy a cheap version as anything tastes good when it's been the the slow cooker)
50g plain flour
2 small brown onions
2 cloves garlic
150g mushrooms
can of crushed tomatoes
1 cup of dry red wine
500ml beef stock
2 tbsp tomato paste
some potatoes if you desire.

Coat beef in glour and brown in the pan. Add it along with all the other ingrediants to the slow cooker and cook on low all day.

Mixed Cheese & Herb Dumplings
Mix 1.5 cups of SR flour and 60g chopped butter. Add 1/2 cup of milk and process until mixed. Add a tbsp of mixed herbs and a 1/2-1 cup of grated cheese. Knead until combined and roll into small balls (gold ball size). Drop them into the slow cooker and turn on high for an hour.

Serve the dish with rice.
