Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings 2 tablespoons bacon grease 2 pounds venison, cut into chunks 1 onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1 teaspoon anchovy paste 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup red wine 1 cup beef broth 1 cup chicken broth 1 teaspoon ground thyme 2 bay leaves 1 pound small red potatoes, chopped 4 carrots, chopped ½ cup sliced mushrooms ½ cup frozen peas 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste Directions Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Heat bacon grease in an oven-proof pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook and stir venison in hot grease until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer venison to a plate using a slotted spoon. Add onion to hot grease; cook and stir until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Mix garlic, tomato paste, and anchovy paste together in a small bowl; add to onions. Stir flour into onion mixture until dissolved. Pour wine, beef broth, and chicken broth into the pot; bring to a boil while scraping browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Add thyme and bay leaves to pot and bring liquid to a simmer. Return venison to pot. Cover pot. Simmer stew in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Add potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms to stew and simmer in the oven until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour more. Add peas and stir. Tips Vegetable broth can be substituted for the chicken broth, if desired. Add butter to the flour to make a roux, if desired. I Made It Print 89 home cooks made it!
