This Smoked Beef Stew Recipe is the perfect fall food to make on the smoker! Stew meat is one of the cuts of meat that the old lady love to pick up on markdowns at the grocery store, so an even better fall dinner! (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

I have fallen in love with using my Pit Boss Pro 1100 as more of a convection oven. Soups and stews are always my favorite dinner in the fall and winter months but the smoker gives the bonus of smoke flavor, as well as slow-cooked tenderness. I picked up my Pitboss at Lowes, but Walmart and Amazon carry other Pit Boss options or Pit Boss website themselves. Even better if I can use leftover smoked meat in the dish.

How To Make Smoked Beef Stew On A Pitboss Pellet Grill:
The night before making your stew put your stew meat in a container and cover with olive oil and season it with your Montreal, Johnny’s Seasoning Salt, and Garlic Salt. Store in the fridge overnight, the salt will help to tenderize the meat as well as flavor it.
Start out by chopping your veggies to put in the stew. I started with an amount but then ended up having room for more potatoes in the dutch oven so don’t put everything away.
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.
If you are using a cast iron dutch oven wipe it down with oil to help make sure that it is ready to cook without having stuff stick. I use an old cast iron dutch oven the old lady picked up for $5 and it has worked amazing! An Enameled Cast Iron would work as well just know that the smoke may stain the dutch oven.

I use Better Than Boullion bases for my stews and soups. I used a scoop of beef and a small scoop of the vegetable base to make the liquid. A large Pyrex measuring cup is what I use to microwave my water for the Boullion to dissolve in. I also use this cup to add more water into the stew as it needs it as well.
I fired up my Pitboss Pro 1100 to 225 with a P setting of 7.
At 9:30 that morning I threw the Dutch Oven on the smoker and allowed it to cook until 345 that afternoon.
Remove and serve!!!
