Drew's Venison Steaks and Gravy image

I've been making this comfort food forever, and it's DH's favorite. I especially like the creamy gravy over rice or mashed potatoes. If you want a stroganoff-like gravy, stir in 8 ounces of sour cream at the last minute, and serve over wide noodles!

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb cubed venison
1 package dry lipton onion and mushroom soup mix
2 teaspoons beef bouillon
1/2-1 cup water
1/2 cup white wine or 1/2 cup water
2 large onions, thinly sliced or diced
salt and pepper, to taste

  • Cover skillet and lower heat to simmer.
