Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds venison, cubed
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 teaspoons thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon rosemary, chopped
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, coat the venison cubes with flour, making sure each piece is lightly covered.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
Add the venison cubes in batches, browning each side. Remove and set aside once browned.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
Add the carrots, potatoes, and celery to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic.
Introduce the browned venison back into the pot.
Add bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, and stir to mix the spices evenly.
Pour in the beef broth and tomato paste, stirring to combine well.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and cover. Allow to simmer for approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the venison is tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.
Remove bay leaves and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
Serve hot, accompanied by crusty bread or a side of your choice.
