Add 2 cups of the beef stock and the Madeira to the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Return the meat to the saucepan, cover and braise in the oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, turning occasionally, until tender. 2.Heat a large enameled cast-iron casserole or soup pot over high heat. Add the wild rice and cook, stirring, until it begins to pop, about 2 minutes. Add the onion, carrots and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the remaining 8 cups of stock and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to moderate, cover, and cook until the rice is tender, about 50 minutes. 3.Remove the meat from the braising liquid and let cool slightly, then shred it. Add the shredded meat and its braising liquid to the casserole and season with salt and pepper. Simmer the stew for 5 minutes, then ladle into bowls and serve.

This meaty stew is usually made with wild game such as venison or boar, but you can use beef, pork, or other meat--just use a lot. It's perfect for feeding a crowd, especially when the weather turns cold and dreary.

HUNTER'S STEW
I'm not really sure why this is called Hunter's stew -- there isn't any wild game in it. It is super easy to throw together & is a wonderful meal on a chilly night!! It is a thick stew I serve in bowls but could actually be served over biscuts.

Grass-fed beef or chuck roast are good choices. - Brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking. - Don't be afraid to use a variety of vegetables in your stew.
