Venison Stew Recipe
This classic, traditional, and easy venison stew is well known in our family and has always been a family favourite, even amongst the children. We are fortunate to live in a country where we have an abundance of venison.
We are spoilt for choice with venison varieties including Kudu and Springbok, Ostrich, and heck, even warthog gets a mention. It is hard to say which of these venison's are the most popular, but personally, I will say it goes down to Kudu, Springbok, and Ostrich.
There are distinct differences in the taste of the above-mentioned venison, and they all have different applications when it comes to recipes. Personally, I would recommend Springbok for this venison stew recipe, but any other venison should do the trick. Kudu venison is well known for sausage, droëwors (dried sausage), and biltong (jerky), and the same counts for Ostrich, except Ostrich meat, is also well known in stews, and other meat dishes.
Springbok is also a good choice of venison and works very well in this venison pie recipe, which is also one of our family favourite recipes.
Back to the venison stew recipe. It is popular throughout the country and you will most probably encounter the venison stew on the menu of quite a few restaurants, especially restaurants located in Game Reserves.
This venison stew recipe should be good for those who do not have the luxury of visiting any of these restaurants and taste just as good. Except, that you prepared it yourself. Your very own homemade venison stew recipe.

I have to try this venison stew recipe when we visit Africa at the end of this year. We will be staying in a safari lodge and hopefully, I can persuade the chef to prepare this for me and my husband. I will have this recipe ready and waiting for us. Looking forward. 5.00Respond to Comments

Terrific venison stew recipe. I have to say the stout marinade tenderizes the meat real good. It takes a while, but the taste of the venison stew is worth the effort. Great effort. 5.00Respond to Comments
