This recipe was great. I don't have a Dutch oven so after step 4, I put everything together in a crock pot on high for 3 hours.
I liked this very much. I added a few stalks of celery with the carrots and just a little more beef and chicken stock after the first hour but I probably could have just let it go. I was worried that it would get dry but it didn't. Wonderful flavors.
I have been cooking with venison for many years. This is the best venison stew recipe I have ever made. The flavor was outstanding and the venison was tender and juicy. Yum.
I've made a lot of venison stews, so for me to give this five stars means it is excellent. I did make changes. I halved the recipe because I didn't need to feed so many people. I left out the anchovy paste. I didn't have that hanging around the house. I didn't bother with mushrooms. It would have been nice, but I didn't have it on hand. I added all the carrots and potatoes at the beginning before I put the dutch oven in the oven. They were perfectly cooked, not overdone at all. I think putting them in later would have left them underdone. I adore venison, and this is definitely a recipe I saved! By the way, my husband LOVED this.
Love this! I use any root veggies and the flavor is always great
Great recipe! My only changes were to use sweet potatoes and turnips as I didn t have red potatoes or mushrooms. The broth is rich, thick, and flavorful. I think using at least one sweet veggie, like peas or sweet potatoes, is a nice counterbalance to the slight tang of the wine sauce. I made this with freshly harvested venison after we forgot to grind a small bit. Rather than dirty the freshly cleaned grinder, I opted for this stew. This recipe has convinced me to put up more venison stew meat in the future. Thanks!
I have never reviewed anything in my LIFE !! But I just finished a bowl of this stew. INCREDIBLE The best Venison I have ever eaten.I followed recipe just as written
This stew is excellent! There is no need to look for another venison stew! The venison was very tender and the gravy exceptionally tasty. I made a few small changes: I added some chopped celery with the onion, and I added a little sage and tarragon per another recipe on this site. It was also much easier for me to use all beef broth instead of using some beef, some chicken. I left out the mushrooms because I am the only person in my family who will eat them. They would have made a great recipe even better! I imagine this recipe could be adjusted some to thicken it further and be used as a filling for pot pie. I served this with cornbread and a salad. I will definitely make this again, and it will be my go-to when I have venison stew meat. Thanks for sharing!
Substituted the tomatoe paste with 1 tin puree Added some diced bacon and beef brisket. Great recipe or base with additional ingredients according to the stock in your cupboard
Good flavor but SOOOOO watery. Not enough flour or something. I was so disappointed after spending so much time and effort to make this.
