Venison Stew Recipes
The first of my venison stew recipes is divine. A wonderful hearty stew that warms the body on a cold day.
3 TBS canola oil
2 lb venison stew meat, cubed
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp homemade garlic powder
1 tsp homemade onion powder
1/2 cup red wine
4 cups homemade beef broth
1 TBS Better Than Bouillon (or to taste)
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp parsley
salt and black pepper to taste
3 large red or golden potatoes, cubed
4 carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
4 celery stalks, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 large onion, chopped
Place canola oil in a large cast iron skillet or heavy pan. Dredge the stew meat in the flour and place in the hot oil to sear. Season the pieces with the garlic and onion powder. Don’t worry if you think you are over seasoning them, this is a crucial step to meld flavors and make it taste wonderful.
Once the venison is seared on all sides, add the wine and de-glaze (scrape) the bottom of the pan to get all of the tasty pieces loose on the bottom. Add the broth, better than bouillon, rosemary, parsley and salt/pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and add the vegetables. Simmer until vegetables are done; approximately 60 minutes.
Serve with homemade buttermilk biscuits or homemade corn bread.
This homemade venison stew recipe is dynamite. Try it and see for yourself.

In a heavy skillet, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Place the flour, seasoned salt, garlic and onion powder in a resealable bag and shake. Add the cubes of meat and shake well to cover evenly. Fry the pieces in a skillet until browned on all sides. Add onion to the cubes of meat and saute until tender. Pour into a slow cooker.
Mix the worcestershire sauce, beef broth and wine together and pour into the bottom of the skillet and scrape to deglaze the bits from the bottom. Pour all of this into the crock pot over the venison and onions; mix well. Add potatoes, celery, carrots and onion. Sprinkle the stew seasoning over all. Place on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 8 to 10 hours.
