Time 31m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb. venison, diced with all sinew removed - I used leg meat*
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 and 1/2 cups diced potatoes, I left the skin on (about 3 medium potatoes)
2 cups diced carrots
1 cup diced celery
1 large onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp. herbs de Provence*
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. black pepper
1 15 0z. can diced tomatoes
4 cups unsalted beef stock or venison stock
3-4 dashes Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Dice the venison into bite-sized chunks, being sure to remove any of the silvery sinew tissue. Leaving this on makes the meat tough.
  • Add the olive oil to a large pot or Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat.
  • When the oil is hot, allow the venison to saute for 5-7 minutes or until the edges start to brown. Remove the venison from the pot and set aside.
  • Turn the heat down to medium and add the potatoes, carrots, celery and onion. Allow the vegetables to saute for about 8-10 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
  • Then, add the garlic, herbs de Provence, salt and pepper and cook for an additional minute before adding the tomatoes, broth and Worcestershire sauce. Then, add the venison back to the pot. Stir well and bring the stew to a boil.
  • Once a boil is reached, turn the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and allow the stew to simmer for 1-2 hours until the venison is tender.
  • Serve hot (is amazing with crusty bread).

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of venison: Stew meat is the best choice for this recipe, as it is a tough cut of meat that will become tender when cooked slowly in liquid. Other good choices include chuck roast, shoulder roast, or rump roast.
  • Brown the venison before stewing: Browning the venison will help to develop its flavor and create a rich, dark sauce. Be sure to brown the meat in batches so that it does not overcrowd the pan and steam instead of brown.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onions, but you can also add other vegetables that you like, such as potatoes, turnips, or parsnips. Root vegetables, such as carrots and parsnips, hold their shape well and provide a slightly sweet flavor to the stew. Potatoes provide a hearty, filling addition to the stew.
  • Choose a good quality red wine: The red wine that you use in this recipe should be one that you would enjoy drinking on its own. A full-bodied red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon, will provide a rich flavor to the stew. Just remember that the alcohol will cook off, so don't worry if you don't like the taste of red wine.
  • Cook the stew low and slow: The key to a good venison stew is to cook it low and slow. This will allow the meat to become tender and the flavors to develop. Simmer the stew for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.

Conclusion:

Venison stew is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. By following the tips above, you can make a venison stew that is sure to please everyone at your table. Serve the stew over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, and enjoy!
