Instructions:
-
Season Venison: Begin by seasoning the venison with salt and pepper. Once seasoned, refrigerate it for about 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Saute Onion and Mushrooms: In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and fresh mushrooms to the skillet and sauté them in the butter until they become tender and fragrant. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set them aside for later use.
-
Brown Venison: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter if necessary, then proceed to brown the seasoned venison. Cook until the meat is browned on all sides, ensuring it’s cooked evenly.
-
Prepare Gravy: Once the venison is browned, remove it from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, stir in the flour, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Gradually add the beef broth to the skillet, stirring constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.
-
Enhance Flavor: To enhance the flavor of the gravy, stir in the sherry wine, tomato paste, and dry mustard. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
-
Simmer: Return the browned venison, sautéed onions, and mushrooms to the skillet, stirring to combine everything evenly. Allow the mixture to simmer over low heat for 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the venison to become tender.
-
Add Sour Cream: Just before serving, stir in the sour cream, ensuring it is well incorporated into the sauce. Heat the stroganoff until it is bubbly and warmed through.
-
Serve: Serve the Venison Stroganoff over hot noodles, rice, or potatoes, allowing the creamy sauce to coat each bite and delight your taste buds with its rich flavor.
This Venison Stroganoff recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household, whether you’re a fan of wild game or simply looking for a comforting and satisfying meal. Enjoy! 🦌🍲
