Baked Dutch Oven Beef Stew Recipe is the perfect comfort food to make this fall and winter! Preseason your beef stew meat to throw in with broth and veggies!
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 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 into the container and pour it into 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. I knew they would take the longest to cook and the broth would help them cook faster.
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!
