AH! Deer season is back! While I'm not a hunter I do love venison so I get deer meat from area hunters. This is my recipe for deer stew! IT"S DELICIOUS!!!!

Get 2-3 lbs fresh deer meat, not soaked or frozen. I like shoulder meat for this cause it's a good way to use it but any cut will do. Cut the meat into chunks, large or small, and boil for about 2 hours with salt, pepper, red pepper, garlic. Remove meat and chop into smaller pieces and return to broth and boil for another 30 minutes or so. Drain meat, shred and set aside.

Re-fill pot with 5 quarts fresh water, two cans diced potatoes, two cans whole kernel corn, one can french cut snaps, one can light red kidney beans, one can garden peas, one can carrots, three chicken bouillon cubs, dash of browning sauce, minced garlic, minced or sliced onion, quart tomatoes, can tomato sauce, can tomato paste, three table spoons bacon grease or 3-4 slices bacon, 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, two table spoons cane sugar, table spoon salt, deer meat.

Boil hard for 3 minutes while stirring then simmer for two hours stirring occasionally, add three tablespoons flour mixed with cold water and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 5 minutes, taste and season more if desired.

Enjoy!


Next will be old fashioned deersteak in gravy w/ mashed taters.

Shoot deer.

Skin, pull tendrloins, fry in cast iron skillet. Try not to burn fingers eating them directly from the skillet if some one else is dong the cooking. :D

Slice pieces of backstrap about 2" thick. "Tenderize" with a wooden mallet until they are 3/4" thick. Pepper, garlic, and a little salt on the pieces. Dip in milk, drench in flour. Fry in a hot skillet. Make gravy with the drippings and small, extraneous pieces of the meat. Serve with rice and hot home made biscuits.

I just became hungry. Don't have any deer meat but thinking about getting the electric skillet out and some frozen squirrels with some brown gravy and biscuits.

That deer stew sure does sound good by the way.

Redlevel,
That's exactly how I grew up eating them, and boy are they good. But I have to say, we have "transitioned" to pulling the backstraps whole, remove the membrane, marinate it in your favorite chipotle or teryaki, and quick grill them rare over a hot grill whole. Then you can cut it in thin rare slices and it will melt in your mouth. With 3 kids I'm lucky if I get more than a few slices!

We had fresh tenderloins tonight, courtesy of my son's 10 pt this morning. Finally an overcast morning in GA.
