Ingredients for Your Dutch Oven Stew Recipe
- 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Founder’s Feast seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to Make Dutch Oven Stew
- First, heat the olive oil in your Dutch oven over the campfire until hot.
- Next, add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- Then, add the onions and garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- After that, return the beef to the pot, add the carrots, potatoes, beef broth, Founder’s Feast seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Finally, cover the Dutch oven and let it simmer over the coals for 1-2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. Stir occasionally and add more broth if needed.
Campfire Cooking Tips
Choose a spot with good airflow for your fire to maintain consistent heat. Use a mix of hardwood and charcoal for even burning. If you don’t have a Dutch oven, you can use a heavy cast iron pot with a lid. For a vegetarian version, substitute the beef with mushrooms or tofu and use vegetable broth.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with crusty bread or biscuits to soak up the delicious broth. Pair with a simple green salad for a complete meal. Leftovers can be reheated over the fire for lunch the next day.
