Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Melt the bacon drippings in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the venison in two batches until nicely browned and remove. Stir in the shiitake, onions, and garlic; cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the cognac, wine, and bouillon cube, simmer for 30 seconds to remove the alcohol flavor and dissolve the bouillon.
- Stir in the venison, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently until the venison is tender, about two hours or more; adding water as needed.
- If using baby carrots, add them during the last half hour of cooking. When the venison is tender, you may wish to thicken the sauce by dissolving the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water and stirring it into the sauce.

Not sure what happened, the meat came out tough, dry, and tasting of vinegar. 0_o Probably my issue and not one with the recipe though, I'm still learning how to cook.

This was the first venison recipe I've tried that really did come out tender! I enjoyed the leftovers as much as I enjoyed it the first night.
