Smoked Beef Stew

When the weather turns chilly, nothing beats a hearty bowl of beef stew. This smoked version adds an extra layer of flavor, blending the richness of beef with the smokiness of your grill. Perfect for cozy family dinners or gatherings, this comfort food classic pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or warm biscuits.

I've been wanting to make a beef stew and had never had a smoked version, so this was the perfect opportunity.

The Smokin' Pro Barrel Grill and Offset Smoker is perfect for this recipe thanks to its versatility and precision. Its offset firebox maintains steady heat at 275°F, allowing you to slow-smoke beef cubes to tender perfection while infusing them with rich, smoky flavor. With ample cooking space and seamless transitions from smoking to slow-cooking, the Smokin' Pro is built to handle hearty winter dishes with ease.

Instructions

1. 01

   Start a fire in the firebox using your favorite combination of charcoal and wood. Aim for a temperature of 275°F.

2. 02

   Season the beef cubes on all sides with GSP rub. Place the seasoned beef directly onto the grill grates, ensuring even spacing for proper smoke circulation.

4. 03

   In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil. Add onions, celery, carrots, and diced tomatoes. Stir to combine.

5.  

   

6. 04

   Close the smoker lid and let the beef cubes smoke for 2-3 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 150°F.

7. 05

   Transfer the smoked beef cubes to the Dutch oven. Add cubed potatoes and beef broth. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

8.  

   

9. 06

   Continue cooking the stew in the smoker for 3 more hours, or until the beef is tender and infused with smoky flavor.

10. 07

    In a small bowl, mix corn starch with water to create a slurry. Stir the mixture into the Dutch oven to thicken the stew.

11. 08

    Close the smoker lid and cook for an additional 15 minutes to allow the stew to thicken.

12. 09

    Remove the Dutch oven from the smoker. Serve the smoked beef stew hot, either on its own or paired with crusty bread or warm biscuits.
