Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

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: For a stew, you'll want to use a tougher cut of meat, such as the shoulder, neck, or shank. These cuts have more connective tissue, which will break down during cooking and make the meat tender.
Brown the venison before stewing: Browning the venison before adding it to the stew will help to develop its flavor and give the stew a richer color.
Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the stew. Some good choices for deer meat stew include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and turnips.
Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of the stew. Some good choices for deer meat stew include garlic, thyme, rosemary, and sage.
Simmer the stew for at least 2 hours: This will give the meat time to become tender and the flavors to meld.
Serve the stew with your favorite sides: Deer meat stew can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or bread.

Conclusion:

Deer meat stew is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up any venison you may have on hand. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a deer meat stew that your family and friends will love.
