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).

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 stalks celery, chopped
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup oil
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups beef stock
1 pound whole new potatoes
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
2 bay leaves
2 large carrots, chopped in large chunks

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Split the venison shank into 2 large pieces, and then chop the venison ham meat and shank into large chunks. Add the venison to the salt pork in the pan and brown the meat, about 10 minutes. While browning, add the garlic powder, chile flakes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Next, add 2 tablespoons of the flour to the meat and mix it in to form a sort of gravy. Remove the meat and set it aside.
  • Add the oil, butter and remaining 4 tablespoons flour to the empty pan and cook over medium heat to form a roux. Stir, and allow the roux to cook until it changes color from tan to brown.
  • Add the beef stock and 2 cups water to the roux and bring it to a boil. Then add in the venison meat and cook it for 5 to 10 minutes, until the meat is three-quarters of the way cooked.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of venison: For stews, chuck roast, shoulder, or round steak are good options. These cuts have a good amount of connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender.
  • Brown the venison before stewing: Browning the venison adds flavor and helps to seal in the juices. You can brown the venison in a large skillet over medium-high heat, or in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The vegetables in a venison stew add flavor, texture, and nutrients. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and mushrooms.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of the stew. Some good choices include rosemary, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook the stew low and slow: Venison stew is best cooked low and slow, so that the meat has time to become tender. You can cook the stew in a Dutch oven over low heat for 2-3 hours, or in a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours.

Conclusion:

Venison stew is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover venison. By following the tips in this article, you can make a venison stew that is sure to please your family and friends.
