Would anyone like my leftover
venison stew I had for dinner tonight? It's fresh, very fresh (yay to my boss for giving me some from his hunting trip).
BUT, I have a lot, and can't eat it all and am loathe to throw it out.

No
but if you've got a proven recipe for stew, I'm got a couple of fat venison steaks in the freezer that need something nice to sit in :)

^steaks
Don't ruin them by stewing them, save that for the tougher cuts.
Marinade for 2 days (turning regularly) in the following:
Dry red wine.
8 - 10 Juniper berries.
Chopped shallots.
Garlic.
Fresh Parsley.
Couple of Bayleaves.
Seasoning.

Strain off the marinade and retain for sauce.

Dry fry the steaks however you like and allow to rest in a warm oven.

Get a wok, heat it up and pour in the strained marinade, add a couple of large dollops of red currant jelly.
Bring it up to a rapid boil for a couple of minutes, then simmer until it reduces.
Cornflour and cold water can be added to thicken if need be.

Serve with parsnips, carrots, cabbage and game crisps.

freeze it for later
cooked meat can be frozen again.

That sounds amazing. I've only done venison stew/pie before, never steaks. Might have to try that.

Alternatively, if the steaks aren't of top quality, mince them, and use them to make a lovely shepherd's pie.

'Tis a fine dish indeed.
I nailed a few rabbits on sunday, I've got them marinading in olive oil, lime, chilli and ginger in the fridge.
Should be ready for tonight.

Sounds pretty special
I like taking my mate's whippet out for walks as it often means we can make rabbit and Guinness stew...

Beautiful if you cook it for about 8 hours or something.
