Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Hearty Maine Venison Stew.
Step 1
To create a delicious venison stew in your slow cooker, start by adding the venison stew meat, cubed potatoes, diced onions, diced celery, and diced carrots into the pot.
Step 2
Next, toss in the beef bouillon cubes along with the beef broth and a splash of browning and seasoning sauce for that rich flavor.
Step 3
Pour in enough water to cover all the ingredients, ensuring everything is well-hydrated.
Step 4
Set your slow cooker to High and let it work its magic until the stew comes to a gentle boil.
Step 5
Once you see those bubbles, reduce the heat to Low and let it simmer for 8 to 10 hours, allowing the venison to become tender and infused with all those wonderful flavors.
Step 6
After the cooking time, take a moment to skim off any fat that has floated to the top for a cleaner finish.
Step 7
If you’re feeling adventurous, stir in some frozen peas and sliced mushrooms for added texture and color.
Step 8
Don’t forget to season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting it to your preference.
Step 9
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth, then gently stir this mixture into the stew.
Step 10
Finally, turn the heat back up to High and let the stew thicken, ensuring the peas are heated through.
Step 11
Your hearty venison stew is now ready to warm your soul and impress your family and friends! Enjoy every comforting bite.
