Set and forget - No skills beef stew

I’m most active on Instagram @firetofork

Recipe:

Serves 6-8

20 min prep, 3 hours total.

Stew Ingredients:
• 1 kg diced beef
• 3 tbs oil
• 2 medium onions diced
• 2 carrots diced
• 2 cups halved button mushrooms
• About 400mls Guiness or red wine or beer
• 2 tins crushed tomatoes

Stew Directions:
• Add the onion to a hot camp oven and fry it in the oil at medium/high heat until it starts to be translucent.
• Add the beef with some salt and pepper and stir it until it’s slightly browned (2-3 min)
• Add carrots and mushrooms then stir well for about 5 minutes.
• Add alcohol and tomatoes then season and stir.
• Then put the lid on the camp oven (no heat needed on top of the pot) and let it simmer on low heat for around 2-3 hours, or until the beef is really tender. Check it every 30 minutes to ensure the beef is still in some liquid (add water or beer if it’s looking dry).
• Serve with bread or mashed potatoes (some peas go well on the side too).

Mashed potatoes ingredients:
• 1.5kg of potatoes
• 150g butter
• 1tbspn salt

Mash directions:
• Cut the potatoes up in quarters and boil them in salted water until they are very soft (around 40min).
• Drain the water out, add the butter and use a wooden spoon or similar to vigorously stir the mixture until it becomes smooth(ish) – about 5 minutes. No potato masher required.

Fry the meat coated in flour first, get a good char on it, the add the rest of your ingredients. Flour will help thicken the stew!!

Stew is one of my absolute favorite camp meals. Easy to make, easy to clean and goes a long way. I’ve made the same timing mistake before so now I get the stew going then Setup camp and take my time getting all my gear sorted. Cheers and thanks for all the great tips over the years!

Every single time I watch one of your videos I say to myself "I will cook that, it looks delicious". Keep up the (very entertaining) good work please. Plus it's always great to see your woofer tooling around in the background. He/she looks like they enjoy every minute in camp as well.

Due I have spent so much "TIME" learning your recipes, and they're always a huge hit with the family. Keep up the awesome work!!!

I've always had a good time with this kind of camp cooking. Red wine and short ribs is another good variation. Carrots, celery, tomato base & a nice cab sav or Shiraz instead of the porter. Delicious.

Nothing better than putting in the time and having your friend love the meal that you make.

Thanks for spending your time sharing this stew recipe!

Looked amazing! Just perfect.

And thanks for sharing that tidbit about the dehydrated orange vegetables. My mom used to make soup with this soup starter that had spices and some dehydrated vegetables in it and I always hated the way that stuff smelled. I bet it was the freezedried carrots in it!
