Return the beef to the pot and add 2 teaspoons of tomato paste, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 3 cups of beef broth, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 3/4 cup of wine.

Add 1/4 cup of frozen peas and 4 Yukon Gold potatoes, ensuring the liquid covers the meat and vegetables.

Simmer for about 1.5 hours.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and thyme.

In another bowl, mix 2 large eggs, 1 cup of sour cream, and 1/2 cup of whole milk.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture until thick.

Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture onto the stew and cover.

Steam the dumplings on top of the stew for 30 minutes.
