Venison in Wine Sauce
Ingredients and Stuff Needed:
Crock Pot or Ham Beach Slow Cooker
1.5# - 2# of venison stew meat chunks - 1" squares or smaller works great. Using the tougher cuts of meat will be fine. Don't waste your backstraps or tenderloins for this one... Unless you are trying to impress a lady, then of course go all out!
2 large Portabella Mushrooms
1 ea 8 oz pkg of button mushrooms
16 oz red wine - your pick
1 large Purple Onion or Vidalia onion (milder)
2 envelopes of Lipton dried onion and mushroom soup
2 tablespoons of corn starch
4 oz cold water
Black Pepper to taste
Egg Noodles or rice (wild rice if you like)
1 pint Sour Cream (optional)
Directions:
1) Clean and rinse the stew meat. Drain in collander. Place in Crock Pot.
2) Rinse & Slice the Portabellas thin and leave slices long. Place in Crock Pot.
3) Rinse and slice the mushroom buttons. Place in Crock Pot.
4)Pour Wine in on meat and mushrooms in Crock Pot.
5)Slice onion up to preference and place in the Crock Pot.
6)Add the two envelopes of dried Lipton Onion & Mushroom Soup.
7) Mix 2 table spoons of cornstarch in 4 oz of cold water, add to ingredients, and mix all the ingredients gently. Season with black pepper to taste. (I like about 2 teaspoons.)
8) Cover crock pot, set on low, let cook for 4 or 5 hours.
9) Serve over noodles or rice.
Mix 2 ladles with @ 3 heaping tablespoons of sour cream for an unusually savory, smooth, and flavorful "stroganoff". DO NOT cook the sour cream with the dish - rather fold the sour cream in when serving.
YUMMMMM!!!!
