Love venison? Give this stew a try! While it wasn’t my personal favorite, the boys in my house went crazy for it!
I’ve never had venison before. But any time it’s been mentioned on my Facebook page, the response has been huge. There are a lot of you venison lovers out there! I have to admit that since I do not like beef, I was pretty hesitant to give this recipe a shot because people have always told me that the flavor is very similar.
But knowing how many venison fans I have that read my blog, I thought I’d give it a try at least once. I essentially treated it just like I would treat beef and it turned out really well.
I have to admit that I personally did not care for it. The broth was good, but I didn’t like the meat. The boys in my house however… Â To say it was a HUGE hit with them is a massive understatement! So I have to chalk it up to my dislike of beef and say that this recipe is a tasty alternative to beef stew.
HOW TO MAKE VENISON STEW
The truth is, there is no big secret here. You make venison stew just like you would any other stew! Treated similarly to beef, you simply cut up the meat into stew-size chunks, brown the meat and then proceed with making your stew. Easy!
