Instructions

Optional - Use a medium-size skillet and add a bit of oil to it and then sear the stew meat on all sides before adding to the grill. This is a personal preference, I do not do this. If you do not, just move to the next instruction.
Preheat the pellet grill or smoker to 325°F.
Season the stew meat with salt and pepper then place in the bottom of a Dutch oven - safe for the pellet grill.
Add the broth, onion, bay leaf, paprika, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, carrots, celery, and beef bouillon cube. Stir well to combine ingredients.
Add the Dutch oven to the preheated grill and add the lid to the Dutch oven, close the grill and let this cook for 3 hours at 325°F.
After 3 hours, carefully remove the lid of the Dutch oven and mix in the potatoes and water. Be sure that all the potatoes are under the liquid, no lid will be used now on the Dutch oven.
Increase the grill temperature to 350°F and cook for 1 hour with NO LID on the Dutch oven.
After an hour, whisk together the cornstarch and water to dissolve the cornstarch, then whisk this mixture into the stew.
Let it sit on the grill for about 5 minutes with the lid on and warm to get it thickened.
Carefully remove it from the grill.
Add additional salt to taste and serve.
