YUMMY BEEF OR VENISON STEW
This is a yummy stew . . . you can omit the veggies, and just put it over rice or bread. It is a snap to make, and very versatile! You can use different vegetables, fresh or frozen. I don't recommend canned, because they will turn to mush.

Steps:
- Cut meat into bite-sized pieces. Mix with onions, and toss mixture with 1/3 cup flour. Heat oil in a large saucepan, and cook over medium low heat until browned.
- Place browned meat and bouillon cubes into crock pot. Add water until meat is covered with 1 inch liquid. Cover. Slow cook on high for about 5 hours. This should be long enough to make meat very tender.
- To thicken up the gravy, mix 1/2 cup flour with 1 cup hot water until flour is dissolved. Pour into crock pot, and stir. Repeat if not thick enough. If you are not using veggies, the stew is ready to pour over the rice now. If you are going to use veggies, add them now. Cook until vegetables are tender.

Steps:
- Brown ground beef with worcestershire sauce in soup pan.
- Drain well, and wipe out the pan to remove extra grease.
- Return ground beef and add remaining ingredients, except water.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are done.
- Skim any fatty spots in the soup.
- Add water to make the soup as soup-y as you like.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat: For stew, you want a cut of meat that is tough but flavorful. Good options include chuck roast, rump roast, or venison shoulder.
- Brown the meat before stewing: Browning the meat adds flavor and helps to thicken the stew.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to stew. Good options include carrots, potatoes, celery, onions, and mushrooms.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the stew, so it's important to use a good quality broth. If you don't have homemade broth, you can use a store-bought broth, but be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
- Simmer the stew for at least an hour: Stewing allows the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender. The longer you simmer the stew, the better it will taste.
- Season the stew to taste: Once the stew is done simmering, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
Conclusion:
Beef or venison stew is a hearty and delicious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively easy meal to make, and it can be made in a slow cooker, which makes it even easier. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a delicious beef or venison stew that your family and friends will love.
