Method
Step 1 of 4
Heat oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook beef, in batches, for 2-3 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a plate.
Step 2 of 4
Add onion, carrot, celery and garlic to pan and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until browned. Stir in taco seasoning and flour. Add 3/4 cup water and stir until mixture thickens. Stir in canned tomatoes and tomato paste and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 11/2 hours or until beef is tender. Stir in beans.
Step 3 of 4
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. To make dumplings, combine polenta, flour and 1/3 cup cheese in a large bowl. Whisk milk and butter in a jug, then stir into polenta mixture. Shape mixture into 12 equal-sized balls.
Step 4 of 4
Arrange dumplings over beef mixture. Brush dumplings with remaining milk and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden-brown. Season well. Top with sour cream. Serve sprinkled with coriander.
