July 20, 2022

The only thing better than camping, is camping with great food! Here are some simple but delicious ideas to inspire your camp cooking - perfect for the chilly months!

Easy camp oven beef roast 

Beef is known to be one of the best winter warmers as it is nutrient-dense and filling. Using a camp oven, you can cook this beef roast the same way you would cook a roast at home. 

What you need:

• 1kg beef roast cut of your choice

• Salt & pepper

• Herbs of your choice

• Olive oil

• Gravy mix of your choice

• 3-4 sprigs of rosemary

• 3-4 carrots cut in 5cm rounds

• 2 onions cut in halves

• 3-4 potatoes cut into small pieces

• Charmate cast iron camp oven

Method:

1. Make small incisions on the meat

2. Insert the garlic cloves in the incisions then rub the beef with olive oil

3. Season the beef with salt & pepper

4. Add the beef to your camp oven on top of a roasting trivet to prevent it from burning and for better heat distribution

5. Add all the vegetables to a bowl, season with salt and your choice of herbs, then add olive oil

6. Once the vegetables are seasoned, add them around the beef inside your camp oven 

7. For extra flavour, add rosemary on top of the beef and vegetables 

8. Cook for about an hour and then check the meat is cooked to your desired preference before serving.
