Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Venison
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 medium Carrots
- 2 Celery stalks
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 4 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 5 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat or sinew from the venison and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In a bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and black pepper. Toss the venison cubes in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear the venison cubes until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove the browned venison and set it aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Dice the onion, and chop the carrots and celery into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic. Sauté the onion, carrots, and celery for 5-7 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the beef broth and tomato paste, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and release any browned bits. Return the seared venison to the pot.
Peel and chop the potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Add the potatoes to the pot along with the thyme sprigs and bay leaves.
Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the venison and vegetables are tender.
About 10 minutes before the stew is done, stir in the frozen peas and allow them to cook through.
Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves from the stew. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy!
