Beef stew cooked on the Traeger Timberline 850 wood pellet grill

Slow cook a winter warming stew on the BBQ for a no-fuss dinner

This is the ultimate easy dinner dish you can cook on the BBQ, just put everything in the pot, walk away and leave to cook.

Ingredients:

  • 1kg braising steak
  • 2 sticks celery; finely diced
  • 1 large onion; roughly chopped
  • 2 medium carrots; cut into 1” pieces
  • 1 bouquet garni
  • plain flour
  • 3tbsp tomato puree
  • 200ml red wine
  • 600ml beef stock
  • sourdough bread; to serve

 Equipment:

  • cast iron casserole dish

Place all the ingredients into the casserole dish.

Pre-heat the Traeger to 160 – 165C (320 – 329F) and place the stew in the centre. Leave the lid off the casserole dish in order for the stew to absorb some smoke. If the meat starts to brown too quickly or the liquid to evaporate replace the lid or cover with a sheet of tinfoil.

Cook for about 2 – 2.5 hours until the meat is tender.

Serve with the sourdough bread or cook some baby roast potatoes on the grill at the same time.
