Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs elk roast (2 1/4 lbs if using bone-in) or 1 1/2 lbs reindeer meat, cut into 1-inch cubes (2 1/4 lbs if using bone-in)
3 tablespoons flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons butter (I use 1 tbsp each) or 2 tablespoons olive oil (I use 1 tbsp each)
2 onions, cut into wedges
10 whole allspice or 2 teaspoons ground allspice
2 bay leaves
2 1/4 cups water or 2 1/4 cups beef broth
2 carrots, peeled & sliced
4 potatoes, cubed

Steps:

  • Coat the beef with flour and salt.
  • In a large, heavy pot or dutch oven, melt the butter.
  • Sauté the meat until browned on all sides.
  • Add the onions and sauté for a few minutes with the meat.
  • Add allspice, bay leaves, and water, and stir well, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan well.
  • Add carrots, cover, and allow to simmer over low heat until meat is tender (1-1 1/2 hours).
  • Stir occasionally to keep from sticking, and if needed, add more water.
  • Add potatoes, and return to boiling; cook until potatoes are tender (1/2 hour).
