Filled with chunks of tender venison, aromatic herbs and spices and flavorful vegetables, this venison stew will soon become a family favorite. You’ll particularly love the ease and simplicity of this classic dish, as it’s a mostly hands-off recipe that’s as satisfying right off the stove as it is served for leftovers the next day.<\/p>\n
In a Dutch oven or other large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the venison and cook, turning, till the meat is browned on all sides. Remove it from the pan and set aside.<\/p>\n Add the onions to the same pan and stir till crisp-tender, five to seven minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for another minute. Add the water and scrape up any browned bits that are stuck to the pan.<\/p>\n Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, oregano, salt and pepper. Return the meat to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, then cover and simmer until the meat is tender, 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours.<\/p>\n Add the potatoes and carrots and continue to cook until the vegetables are tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaf.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, mix the flour and cold water till smooth, then stir the mixture into the stew. Bring it to a boil and continue cooking till thickened, one to two minutes. Stir in the browning sauce, if you’re using it.<\/p>\n Leftover stew can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for three to four days. Be sure to cool the stew completely before covering and storing.<\/p>\n While it’s delicious straight off the stove, as with most soups and stews this dish gets even better if it has some time for the flavors to develop. Feel free to make this recipe one to two days in advance.<\/p>\n You can. Cool the stew completely and pack it in airtight containers before freezing it for up to three months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge prior to reheating. If you plan on freezing this stew, it\u2019s best to make it without the potatoes, as their texture does not hold up well to thawing and reheating.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll enjoy serving venison stew with a variety of sides. Some favorite pairings include a sharp, peppery arugula salad<\/a> as well as sweet and flavorful roasted Brussels sprouts<\/a>. And of course you\u2019ll want to serve a warm loaf of crusty homemade bread<\/a> to soak up every last drop!<\/p>\n Most cuts of venison will work well in this stew because it cooks long enough for the meat to break down and become tender. Shoulder and rump cuts are popular choices, just cut the meat into small, uniform pieces prior to cooking.<\/p>\n A variety of herbs will work well in venison stew. Woody, sturdier herbs like rosemary and thyme can be added in with the bay leaf and spices. Tender herbs such as parsley and sage should be added toward the end of the cooking time or used as a garnish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had no choice but to learn to cook many years ago while my wife recuperated from surgery.
