Why This Dish Is So Special

This stew is rich and flavorful, perfect for a cozy meal. The tender venison combined with hearty vegetables creates a satisfying dish that feels like a warm hug on a cold day. It’s a great way to enjoy a game meat that’s both healthy and delicious.

Tips For Perfect Results

- Brown the meat well before simmering to develop deeper flavors.
- Use fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme for an aromatic boost.
- Simmer the stew slowly to make the venison tender and the sauce rich.

Step 1

Tos the venison in a non-metal bowl with the French salad dressing, making sure each piece is coated well. Cover it up and let it marinate in the fridge overnight. When you’re ready to cook, take the venison out of the marinade and give it a good squeeze to get rid of any extra liquid. Put the meat in a clean bowl, discard the marinade, then season the venison with seasoned salt, regular salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the flour over the meat and toss everything together so it’s evenly coated.

Step 2

Heat some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the venison cubes and cook them until they’re nice and browned on all sides—this should take about 10 minutes. While the meat is browning, mix the tomato paste into the beef broth right in your slow cooker, stirring until it’s fully dissolved. Then add the water, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, paprika, garlic, onion soup mix, and all the veggies—potatoes, carrots, celery, chopped onion, peas, and Brussels sprouts. Finally, stir in the browned venison.

Step 3

Cover the slow cooker and let everything cook on low for 10 to 12 hours, until the venison is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

How To Plate This Dish

Serve this stew with crusty bread or over creamy mashed potatoes. A side of steamed green beans or a simple salad can add freshness and balance the hearty flavors. It pairs well with a robust red wine or a dark beer.

Freezing Tips

Let the stew cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and freezes nicely for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid overcooking the meat.
