BEEF STEW OR VENISON STEW
I've been making this stew for over 30 years. It can be made with either beef or venison. A friend of my daughter's really likes this stew. He even told me... "It's the best stew he's ever had!" Needless to say I was quite flattered by his compliment!

Steps:
- Coat beef stew meat (or venison stew meat) with flour.
- In a large skillet, melt shortening.
- Add the flour coated meat; season with salt and pepper.
- When the meat is almost browned, add onions; finish browning.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce; stir for another minute.
- Transfer to a 5 quart Dutch Oven, or a large soup kettle.
- Add the hot water, bouillon granules, thyme, bay leaf, lemon juice, and whole cloves.
- Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 2 hours.
- Add the carrots, potatoes, green peppers, celery, mushrooms and tomatoes.
- Cover, and simmer 1-1/2 hours.
- Remove bay leaf and whole cloves at this point.
- Bring back to a boil.
- Combine the flour and cold water, and add this to the boiling stew; stirring constantly.
- Finally add the Kitchen Bouquet; mix through thoroughly.
- Serves 8 - 10.
- *Note: Sometimes you'll only need 3 tablespoons of flour, mixed with 1/3 cup cold water to thicken the stew. Also, if wanting to add peas to the stew, add the frozen peas within the last 20 minutes of cooking time (while the vegetables are simmering).
YUMMY BEEF OR VENISON STEW
This is a yummy stew . . . you can omit the veggies, and just put it over rice or bread. It is a snap to make, and very versatile! You can use different vegetables, fresh or frozen. I don't recommend canned, because they will turn to mush.

Steps:
- Cut meat into bite-sized pieces. Mix with onions, and toss mixture with 1/3 cup flour. Heat oil in a large saucepan, and cook over medium low heat until browned.
- Place browned meat and bouillon cubes into crock pot. Add water until meat is covered with 1 inch liquid. Cover. Slow cook on high for about 5 hours. This should be long enough to make meat very tender.
- To thicken up the gravy, mix 1/2 cup flour with 1 cup hot water until flour is dissolved. Pour into crock pot, and stir. Repeat if not thick enough. If you are not using veggies, the stew is ready to pour over the rice now. If you are going to use veggies, add them now. Cook until vegetables are tender.

VENISON (OR BEEF) STEW
This rich stew is infused with the flavors of white wine and dill. It's a hearty and comforting meal by itself, but is wonderful with salad and fresh rolls. I really like this made with venison-the meat is so lean.
