  • Sweet Mags Dutch Oven Beef Stew, Biscuits, CSR, and Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls

    First time I've made beef stew in my DO (or any way besides the crock pot) and I don't mind saying that it turned out wonderful! I had a beef stew crock pot recipe that I modified into this for a 10" shallow DO.

    1 1/2 lb stew meat
    12 small red potatoes quartered
    1 stalk celery sliced
    10 baby carrots cut into thirds
    1 medium onion chopped
    Flour
    16 oz beef broth
    Thyme
    Basil
    Bay Leaf

    I started by coating the meat in flour and then browning in the oven over a full bed of briquettes. Once browned, I added the beef broth, covered and let it simmer about an hour or until the meat is tender. I then added a pinch of thyme, a pinch of basil, one bay leaf, and the veggies (I had an onion, but forgot to chop and add it). I removed some of the briquettes but still left enough for this to simmer until the veggies were tender...about 30 minutes.

    When I added the veggies, I also started some biscuits. I got this way from Cowgirl...put biscuits in a pie pan and then cover with another pie pan and foil. I put them on the Weber Kettle to bake and turned them over half way in the baking. Oh, I also was smoking some country style ribs covered in Mad Hunky on the Kettle. This was my "back up" in case the stew didn't turn out well.

    Ok, back to the stew. Once the veggies were done, I got about 1/2 cup of water and added two heaping spoons of flour and mixed that up well and then added to the stew to thicken and let it cook about another 15 minutes or until thickened.

    The stew, biscuits, and CSRs hit the spot on a very chilly evening. My other half said it was very good, but suggested less celery and more potatoes next time (not red).

    Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure.

    My dinner Not a good pic of the CSR, but you get the idea.



    The next morning, I baked some Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls. I lined the DO with parchment paper to remove the rolls easy. These are pretty good cinnamon rolls...definitely no where close to home made, but it was an easy breakfast to get us going.





    Thanks for viewing!

                  That looks awesome Becky. You got the mad CI/DO skills working! Woohoo! Man, I haven't had beef stew like that since I was a kid. Yummy. I gotta give it a try. What kinda meat is "stew" meat? Does it come packaged in the chunks like that?

                      Let's Go Dutch!

                      One of these days Ima gonna try DO cooking, but in the meantime I'm lovin' yours!

                      That stew is some seriously good looking stuff! Never made it before, but I'm thinkin' I should.

                      I like how you had a back up, just in case, too. When I'm cooking something I'm not good at yet, I tend to have a back up in mind or already cooked, too.
                      In this case, you didn't need the CSRs, but who could say no to such a tasty looking rib? Not me, that's for sure!

                        Beautiful job on the stew, Becky! I could eat a boxcar full of that along with your (homemade) biscuits.
