  5. Add about 1 tablespoon olive oil back to the hot pot. 
  6. Add your garlic, onion, celery, carrot, mushrooms and half of the chopped thyme.
  7. Cook for about 10 minutes until vegetables are slightly cooked down, then add beef broth and red wine. 
  8. Add the browned beef cubes back to your pot, lower the heat to low, cover the pot and let simmer lightly for 1 hour. 
  9. Meanwhile, make your dumpling batter.
  10. In a large bowl, combine Kodiak Cakes Cornbread mix, egg, olive oil and milk your batter should be thick - set aside. 
  11. Add your cornstarch & cold water to the stew and stir until combined and sauce gets thicker.
