I came home from fishing in the storm Sunday and put together a venison stew to simmer all afternoon. Served with garlic toast. It really hit the spot.
Bill, I brown the meat in olive oil and remove it Add a tablespoon of tomato paste and fry it a few minutes to sweeten it Then add your chopped veggies ( carrots, celery, potatoes, onions) and cook with the tomato paste for a few minutes Add 4-5 minced cloves of garlic next Then add 2 boxes of beef broth Add 6-8 shakes of Worcestershire sauce Add 1 cup or so of red wine I add a little browning liquid for color Salt and pepper 2-3 Bay leafs Add the meat back to the pot and bring to a boil then reduce to simmer for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally. Before serving, I thicken the broth with a corn starch and cold water slurry.
