Ingredients
- 500 g venison stew meat
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 3 medium potatoes
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp thyme
- 0.5 tsp black pepper

Instructions
Trim any visible fat from the venison stew meat and cut into bite-sized pieces.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the venison and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the venison and set aside.
Peel and chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Peel and slice the carrots, and chop the celery into bite-sized pieces. Add to the pot and cook for another 4 minutes.
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and add them to the pot.
Return the venison to the pot and stir in 4 cups of low-sodium beef broth, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon of thyme, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
Simmer gently for 90-120 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the venison is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the stew before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Low Fat Hearty Venison Stew!
