This savory stew is a great way to make use of venison, a lean meat that adds a wonderful richness to the dish. The slow cooker allows the flavors to meld beautifully, resulting in a stew that is both satisfying and nourishing.

Ingredients

2 lbs venison, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 medium carrots, sliced
4 medium potatoes, diced
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth
1 cup red wine (optional)
1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the venison pieces and brown them on all sides. This step adds a depth of flavor to your stew.
Once browned, transfer the venison to your slow cooker.
Add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic on top of the meat.
In a separate bowl, combine the beef broth, red wine, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Pour this mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker, ensuring everything is well coated.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the venison is tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.
Before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can also thicken the stew with a roux or cornstarch slurry if you desire a thicker consistency.
Serve warm with crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a complete meal!
