Baked Dutch Oven Beef Stew Recipe

This Baked Dutch Oven Beef Stew Recipe is a new family favorite! While I am still a huge crockpot fan I am loving learning to cook with a dutch oven, both camping and at home! (I have included affiliate links to products I love. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.)

Now I scored this 3.5 Quart Food Network  Cast Iron Enameled Durch oven in 2017 and am just now using it in 2019.  (see it -> here)  I am not sure why I allow new cooking gadgets to intimidate me but I do! I am not eyeing the Amazon Cast Iron 6 Quarts )  (They are a great price and good reviews ->  here) Now we did make a Campfire Beef Stew (see it ->here) that I based this recipe off of, I wanted to give it a go in the oven!

Baked Dutch Oven Beef Stew Recipe Ingredients:

• 2 Lbs Beef Stew Meat 
• Baby potatoes 
• Baby carrots
• Onion 
• Celery 
• Beef Broth 
• Montreal Steak seasoning
• Bay Leaves  
• Johnnys Seasoning Salt
• Garlic Salt
• Olive oil

Baked Dutch Oven Beef Stew Recipe Directions:

At least one-day day before planning to make this for dinner in a container mix your meat in some olive oil and season your meat. I did a combination of the seasonings listed but you can really do any kind.

Refrigerate until you are ready to cook. I pull mine out about half an hour before to allow the meat to warm up a bit before cooking. 

Preheat your oven.  I did it this time for 350 for 2 hours but next time I am going to follow Lodge Cast Iron (see it -> here) and do 275 for a longer cook time. 

Make sure the inside of your dutch oven is properly oiled, even though mine is enameled I still did rub some oil. 

Drop-in your beef and then mix up your broth int he container and pour it in the dutch oven.  I do this to grab more of the seasoning of the meat to go in the stew.  

I cut my baby potatoes in half and put them in the pot next. Since I knew they would take the longest to cook and the broth would help them cook faster.

Now a good knife is a must-have in any kitchen! I picked up this Aicok Knife (HERE)for under $10, but it’s keeps going out of stock often on Amazon due to how awesome it is.  There are a lot of other top rated knives on Amazon at a great price.  I am not the best at picking out Knives so when I can read reviews to find a good quality knife it’s a win for me.

 Chop up your celery, carrots, and onions up and place on top of the meat.

 Place the lid on the dutch oven and set into your oven! 

Serve and enjoy once your meat is thoroughly cooked and your potatoes are soft!
