Grilled Venison, Tomato, Pepper and Corn Stew

This is a lighter stew I prepare during summer, when corn and tomatoes are in season and at the peak of flavor. Fire up the grill, sear the meat and vegetables, and simmer in a savory stock.

Because this is quicker than a normal version of a stew, use better cuts of venison.

To remove seeds from tomatoes, cut widthwise in half, and place your fingers into the open halves, removing the seeds.

    Made this one tonight! Most out of our own garden and freezer! The kiddos absolutely loved it – “you will be making this again daddy!”

    Highly recommend for a late summer meal when you are craving stews on chilly autumn evenings, but still holding on to summer.
