Slow Cooker Venison Stew | Thick & Hearty Recipe
You have got to try this thick & hearty slow cooker venison stew recipe if you have deer meat in the freezer. Full recipe:
This thick, hearty and healthy slow cooker venison stew is made in the crockpot with tender hunks of deer meat, veggies, and a rich & flavorful broth.
This venison stew recipe ( is one of the most popular recipes on my website. But, some have commented that they love the flavor but wish it was a bit thicker. So, I decided to give you a super easy version of deer meat stew that you can make in the crockpot that's nice and thick. Just what you all asked for!
The reason I like making venison stew in the slow cooker is because the crockpot allows you to cook your deer meat low and slow (or braise gently in liquid) for hours at a time with little to no effort. And you're not messing up or crowing the oven/stovetop.
This is the BEST slow cooker venison stew because it combines a rich, flavorful broth (that really works WITH and is designed for your wild game), tender meat, perfectly cooked veggies. And, you're basically only working on it for about 15 minutes before you let the slow cooker do all of the work for you! How easy is that? (where are my Ina fans at?)
As I mentioned previously, if you're working with a tough cut of meat or one with a lot of connective tissue, it's best to cook it low and slow. AKA, cooking it at a low temperature for a long time to ensure that the meat falls apart. If it isn't falling apart, turn the heat down and cook it longer. I recommend cooking this stew recipe for 8-9 hours on low in the slow cooker. You can do 4-5 hours but your meat won't be as tender and the flavor won't be as developed. So, you've been warned!
Since this recipe takes 8 hours to make, you can always do all of the chopping the night before and sear your venison and add it to the slow cooker. When you wake up, add the liquid, set it, and forget it while you go about your day.

STEW RECIPE
▪5lb/2.5kg beef chuck
▪Olive oil
▪Salt
▪200g or about 2c pearl onions, peeled
▪400g or 3.4-4c carrots, cut into big chonky pieces
▪300g or 4.5-5c mushrooms, cut into large pieces
▪115g/1stick unsalted butter
▪125g or 3/4C + 3Tbsp AP flour (gluten free works too)
▪1800g or 1.8L/qt good beef stock (OR see my flavorful beef stock dupe below)
▪450g/1pint dark stout beer
▪500g/4c small golden potatoes, partially peeled and cut into very large chunks
▪2-3 bay leaves
▪2-3 sprigs of thyme
▪150g or 1 heaping cup frozen peas
▪fresh cracked black pepper
4 packets powdered gelatin
Preheat oven to 500F/260C.
Remove band of fat in the center of the pieces of chuck. See video @0:36. Cut the rest of the meat into cubes. You should be left with about 3.5lb/1.5kg of meat. Add meat cubes to a bowl and drizzle with generous amount of olive oil and 2 large pinches of salt. Toss to coat and spread beef onto a half sheet tray and load into oven to sear for about 20-25mins until well browned.
Preheat a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium high. Add a generous glug of olive oil followed by mushrooms, carrots, onions, and pinch of salt. Sweat the veg to par-cook for 3-5mins until beginning to soften and caramelize. Transfer veg into a bowl and set aside.
Return pan to stove over medium heat and add stick/115g butter. When butter is melted, add 100g or 3/4c of flour. Stir to cook, scraping up brown bits from bottom of the pot. Fry for 60-90 seconds until smooth and taking on color.
Add beef stock and beer. Bring to a simmer, stirring and scraping frequently. When simmering, add in beef. Add a splash of water to the beef cooking tray, scraping up beef fond. Add to pot with beef. Stir to combine. Load pot, uncovered, into 300F/150C oven and cook for 2 hours, stirring halfway through.
Add potatoes into the bowl with the par-cooked vegetables and mix with 25g/3Tbsp flour. Toss to combine. (NOTE: if your stew is relatively thick at this point, omit tossing the veg in the flour or add less flour here).
Add potatoes/veggies into stew pot and gently stir. Add in bay and thyme. Return to oven to cook for 1 more hour.
At this point, check the beef and potato for done-ness. Beef should be tender and shreddable, but not shredded. Potato should be fork tender, but not mushy.
Ladle off excess fat from top of stew (or allow to cool slightly, refridgerate, then scrape off fat from top once cooled). Stir peas into hot stew.
Taste for seasoning and add salt if needed. Ladle into bowl, top with fresh cracked black pepper, and serve with a piece of rustic sourdough bread.
