Venison Stroganoff

Most stroganoffs call for mushrooms, so use fresh ones for the best taste. And if you don’t like mushrooms, leave ’em out. I add parsley and blue cheese to the top of mine not only as a garnish, but the blue cheese adds that ‘kick.’

Venison Stroganoff

  • 2 lbs venison carefully trimmed and sliced thinly across the grain into strips

  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 large yellow onion diced

  • 5 garlic cloves minced

  • 2 tablespoons red bell pepper finely diced

  • Add mushrroms. Cook for 4 minutes more.
  • Add garlic, Worcestershire, broth and sage leaves
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup.
