Dutch Oven Beef Stew

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs stew meat cut into small uniform chunks
  • 6 potatoes cut into small uniform chunks
  • 1 cup baby carrots cut to your taste, but keep ’em uniform!
  • 1 cup celery cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 package dried beef stew mix
  • 1 package dried beef gravy mix if you can’t find both mixes, you can use two of which ever you can find
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • water as needed

Instructions

  • Start your coals about 20-30 minutes before you want to cook. We use matchlight briquets so that we don’t have to travel with lighter fluid. You can also use coals from a wood fire.
  • Add the beef, and just enough water to cover it, to the Dutch oven.
  • Place the oven on the coals and cook until the beef is tender.
  • Add the potatoes, carrots, celery and onion, and cook until tender.
  • Add the stew and gravy mixes and combine thoroughly. If necessary, add more water.
  • Simmer until you think it’s all done (about 10 minutes) and it smells so good, you can’t wait any longer. Take Dutch oven off of coals and serve.
