We made this Campfire Cast Iron Dutch Oven Beef Stew Recipe while camping over Memorial Day weekend, and it was heavenly! With camping in Washington, it’s almost a given that it will be rainy in May, so the comfort food really hit the spot! We had spent the day kayaking and fishing, so this was amazing to come back and refuel with!

Now I got lucky and found my Cast Iron Dutch Oven for $5, however, I do have a skillet I bought preseasoned that has worked out amazing!!!  For cleaning this, I just rinsed it out and then scrubbed it at home with steel wool.   Keeping your Cast Iron clean and well-oiled is crucial if I don’t use my cast iron as often, I do make sure I oil it down once a month.

Dutch Oven Beef Stew Recipe Ingredients:

  • Beef Stew Meat 
  • Baby Potatoes 
  • Baby Carrots
  • Onion 
  • Celery 
  • Beef Broth 
  • Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • Bay Leaves  
  • Johnnys Seasoning Salt
  • Garlic Salt
  • Olive Oil

How To Make Campfire Dutch Oven Beef Stew:

A day or two before going camping or cooking in a container, mix your meat in some olive oil and season your meat.  I did a combination seasoning but you can really do any kind. 

Seasoned Beef Stew Meat

Refrigerate or keep on ice in the chest cooler until you are ready to cook.  I mixed mine up on a Thursday night and we cooked it at the campsite on Sunday.

When you are ready to cook have your fire ready or your oven ready.  

Ensure the inside of your dutch oven is properly oiled, I gave mine a quick wipe-down with olive oil again and left some extra in the bottom. 

Pour in your beef broth and start to prep your veggies. 

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

Next, the meat went in on top of the baby potatoes.

We did make sure we were sitting by the fire to keep an eye on how hot it was, the smell coming out of the dutch oven was heavenly!!

Now we did keep putting coals on top of the dutch oven as well, this was to help to regulate the cooking temperature.

I also pack up my Oven Gloves since I knew I would have to keep checking the pot and stirring it. They worked great for lifting it in and out and just lifting the lid.  

Serve and enjoy once your meat is thoroughly cooked and your potatoes are soft! Our Dutch Oven Beef Stew cooked for about 3 hours before it was done.
