Venison Supreme

Venison is very low in fat as is most wild game. Slow cooking is the cooking trick for these very lean cuts of meat.

Recipe Ingredients:

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound venison steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 cup tomato juice
1/2 cup water
1/8 teaspoon crushed oregano
1 bay leaf
1 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup sour cream
8 ounces egg noodles

Cooking Directions:

1. Combine flour, salt and pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Add venison cubes, seal and gently shake bag to coat evenly.
2. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed stockpot on medium-high heat. Add venison and brown, turning to cook evenly.
3. Add mushrooms and onion. Sauté until the onion is tender. Stir in tomato juice, water, oregano and bay leaf. Simmer for 25 minutes, or until the venison is tender.
4. Add celery and sour cream. Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove bay leaf.
5. Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions; drain. Serve over hot noodles.
