Venison Stew Friday

[pharmer]

I have had a week that was so unreal I couldn't possibly cover it here. Ended up being sent home yesterday because I "might be a contact for C19." I cook when I'm knocked off course. My neighbor moved away last week, got rid of his freezer and handed over maybe 30 lbs of deer he killed a couple months back. I took 6 lbs vegetables and 3# cube steak, 3lb "hamburger" and 2 lb sausage links in a 12 qt pot. Smells wonderful, hard to wait for 5pm done time. I would have liked to throw a package of "spicy cheese beer brats" in for good measure but then my "lactose intolerant" wife can't partake so they'll go on the grill. I'll miss the yearly "care packages" but folks gotta go where they need to be. Joe

[Jon651]

What time is dinner?

I'll be over as quick as I can!

 

[jscheck]

Made some deer stew last week-3lbs cubed, veggies, etc. Delicious!

I envision either a slab of cornbread or a chunk of crusty bread floating on top of that. Mighty appealing!

 

[spricks]

Yep, nothing better than healthy lean venison...enjoy!

 

[pawncop]

Need a few jalapeños on the side. Looks awesome.

 

[KalamazooKid]

Oh man, that looks freaking awesome! As I sit here in a very snowy and cold Michigan, I'm contemplating something very similar this weekend. Just the inspiration I need!

 

[vt_shooter]

Looks yummy! If I could join you for that, I'd contribute the best bottle of Cabernet I have in my cellar!

 

[Rudi]

I can smell it from here!

Oh man, like 'ol Soupy Sales would say: "So good your brains will fall out!" I'm still full 4 hours later but then I went back for seconds. My wife ate a plate which is rare as she avoids meat like it's bad. Gonna be eating stew for most of the weekend, at least I don't need to cook after tomorrow's "gunshow" (quotes are because it's actually a traveling Shoot Straight store but I have no better plan). Funny thought: How come no hunter ever gives away backstraps? My guess is they never make the freezer. I've never been a hunter but I know a bit about "feral thought." Joe

Backstraps, biscuits, and blueberry (homegrown) pancakes for today's brunch.

I just made a deer burger stir fry with
onion / carrot / celery / riced cauliflower / shredded cabbage

A sparing amount of stir fry sauce took the "gamey" edge off the burger. My wife said it's the best venison dish she's ever had.

...A sparing amount of stir fry sauce took the "gamey" edge off the burger.

Why is that and only in the ground burger? All the other cuts don't have it. Joe

I usually don't have the patience for stew...
so I had venison round steak in my "oriental" blackpepper RC cola marinade with gravy over rice...

 

[moosedog]

Looks good. I made my favorite Thursday, venison swiss steak.

 

[Jon651]

My wife made lamb stew in the crock pot yesterday. Sorry I can't post any pictures - it didn't last long enough for me to pull out my phone!

Stews of almost any kind are my favorite cold-weather foods.

I could only put 1 like on that, seems insufficient. My wife is heating up her "leftover lunch", I'm next. Joe

We love deer chili with cheese....a winter staple here, easy to make also! even I can do it!
