Season the venison stew meat with salt and black pepper.
Place the all-purpose flour in a large bowl, add the seasoned venison, and toss to coat evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured venison in batches and sear until browned on all sides. Transfer the meat to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sautΓ© for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Transfer the mixture to the crock pot.
Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the crock pot, layering them over the venison.
In a mixing bowl, combine the beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until smooth, then pour the mixture over the ingredients in the crock pot.
Add the bay leaves and dried thyme to the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until the venison is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Before serving, remove the bay leaves. Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Ladle the venison stew into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
