Try my savory and sophisticated dish I created to please my hunter. I like to serve this with spaetzle, merlot, and salad.

Time 2h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons bacon drippings
1 ½ pounds venison, cut into 2 inch cubes
2 cups fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
2 medium onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons cognac or brandy
2 cups dry red wine
1 cube beef bouillon
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 ¼ teaspoons dried rosemary
2 bay leaves
1 (8 ounce) package baby carrots
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Melt the bacon drippings in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the venison in two batches until nicely browned and remove. Stir in the shiitake, onions, and garlic; cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the cognac, wine, and bouillon cube, simmer for 30 seconds to remove the alcohol flavor and dissolve the bouillon.
  • Stir in the venison, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently until the venison is tender, about two hours or more; adding water as needed.
  • If using baby carrots, add them during the last half hour of cooking. When the venison is tender, you may wish to thicken the sauce by dissolving the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water and stirring it into the sauce.
