Ingredients:

Venison Stew with Cognac
Venison Stew with Cognac
  • 2 pounds venison stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup cognac
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the venison stew meat and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
  2. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the cognac and beef broth, then add the bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and the flavors have melded together.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the stew and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the stew has thickened.
  6. Remove the bay leaf from the stew and discard. Serve the stew hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

This venison and cognac stew is a comforting and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cozy night in. Serve it with a crusty loaf of bread or over a bed of mashed potatoes for a truly satisfying meal. Or, include potatoes in the stew.
