Gradually fry the beef in the iCook Wok on a high heat without oil and remove from the pan.
Add oil to the wok and briefly fry the onions, garlic and carrot. Add the meat and flour, allowing to sweat briefly. Add the wine, beef stock and orange juice. Add the herbs and spices and season to taste. Place on the lid and leave to cook for 1 hour. During this time, you can prepare the dumplings (see above).
After one hour, carefully remove the Wok lid, add on the steamer inset and place the dumplings on it. Put the lid back on and seal with VITALOK. Leave to simmer for another hour.
Carefully remove the lid, add the cranberry-stuffed pears to the pan. Put the lid back on and simmer for a further 20 minutes.
To serve the whole dish:
Divide the corn salad on four plates, drizzle with the dressing then place the cranberry-stuffed pears upon the salad. Add two dumplings per plate, plus the goulash with plenty of sauce.
