Best Slow Cooked Venison With Red Wine And Rosemary Recipes
SLOW-COOKED VENISON
Venison shoulder is the perfect cut for this dish because its lean meat and tough but tasty muscles respond perfectly to a slow braise. If you have difficulty finding a shoulder, use venison shanks instead. They'll need to cook perhaps 30 minutes longer, but they're delicious and worth the wait.

Steps:
- 1. Season the venison generously all over with salt and pepper. In a cast iron pot, heat the bacon drippings over high heat. Add the venison and sear on all sides until golden broth, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the venison from the pot and set aside.
- 2. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onions, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook until they turn a rich mahogany color, stirring frequently. Add the flour and stir until well combined. Add the tomatoes, dried mushrooms, and garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil and slowly stir in the beef broth and red wine.
- 3. Raise the heat and bring to a boil. Add the thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, sugar, and venison. Reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook for about 1 1/2 hours, until the meat pulls easily from the bone. Taste and season well.
- 4. Transfer the venison to a cutting board and remove the bone. Slice the meat into rough chunks and return to the pot to warm. Discard the herb sprigs and bay leaves.
- 5. Serve the venison in shallow bowls over Louisiana rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
SLOW-COOKED VENISON WITH RED WINE AND ROSEMARY
Steps:
- 1. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based, flameproof casserole dish over a high heat. Season the meat and fry half of it in the dish for 5 minutes, turning once or twice until the meat is well browned. Transfer to a plate then repeat with the remaining meat. Set the venison to one side. 2. Place the carrot and onion in the pan and cook for 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are beginning to soften. Add the rosemary and tomato purée, and cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring from time to time. 3. Return the meat to the pan, add the wine and stock then bring to the boil. Reduce to a gentle simmer, then cover and cook for 1½ hours, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid and simmer for a further 30 minutes until the sauce is reduced, stirring as necessary. 4. Using the back of a spoon, roughly break up the diced venison. Check the seasoning and serve stirred through fresh Basil Pappardelle or other wide noodle. Cook's tips This stew can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight or frozen. If frozen, defrost thoroughly before heating gently in a pan with a little extra stock or water, until piping hot. Drinks recommendation: Serve with a medium-bodied red.
