Smoked Stuffed Pepper Stew Recipe

We’ve been making all the things lately with our Smoked Sirloin Cap Roast that we made, and this Stuffed Pepper Stew was probably my favorite thing that came out of those roasts.

If you don’t have a smoked sirloin roast hanging around, go pick one up and then head over to our Smoked Sirloin Cap Roast recipe and get smoking!

Don’t have sirloin cap? Good news is that about any beef roast will do. Even things like leftover brisket would be fabulous in this soup.

I call this stew even though it isn’t technically thickened, which is where I tend to draw the line between a soup and a stew. In this case it is because of the way we serve it. When you pour it over a scoop of rice, the rice absorbs a lot of the broth and it instantly gets much more stew-like than soup-like.

What else can you serve with Smoked Stuffed Pepper Stew?

Pictured here, you see Instant Pot Steamed Rice. We love having rice with this kind of meal, and it makes the dish more filling and more of a complete meal in one.

Another good option would be pita bread. Buy a bag of fresh Pita or naan at the store, or get ambitious and make a batch of your own!

This stew goes very well with a fresh, bright salad too. Our Greek Salad would be perfect!
