Is your appetite building yet!?
First, start by making sure all your stew meat is in nice bite-sized chunks, being sure to remove any of the silvery sinew tissue. Leaving this on makes the meat tough. The continue on and add the olive oil to a large pot, and heat the oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, allow the venison to sauté for approximately 5-7 minutes or until the edges of your stew pieces start to brown, then remove the meat from the pot and set it aside. Next turn the heat down to medium and add the potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion. Allow the vegetables to sauté for about 8-10 minutes, or until they've begun to soften. The next step is where we add all the mouth-watering flavors! Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and let the potatoes, vegetables, and seasoning all cook together for an additional minute before adding the tomatoes, broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Then, add the venison back to the pot, stir it well and bring the stew to a boil. Once a boil is reached, turn the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and allow the stew to simmer for 1-2 hours until the venison is tender. After the correct time has passed, your homemade stew is ready to be served! Of course it is best served warm, and I would definitely recommend some fresh bread to go along with your warm tasty dish! Stop in to Miller’s Meat Market to pick up a fresh loaf of bread or some dinner rolls to complete your meal perfectly!
