Moose Stew
This recipe substitutes beef for the moose.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 (2 to 2 1/2 pound) beef roast, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans condensed beef broth
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 1 onion, diced
- 12 to 15 small whole white onions
- 3 or 4 carrots, chopped
- 10 small potatoes, peeled
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
- You'll need at least a 2 to 3 gallon pot to handle this volume of stew.
- Sauté cubes of beef in shortening until browned on all sides. Throw in the pepper, paprika, bay leaf, salt, beef broth, red wine, onion and carrots. Cover and simmer for 2 hours or until the meat is tender.
- Add the whole onions and peeled potatoes; cover again and simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables become slightly tender. Mix the butter and flour into a paste and drop this into the stew pot. Continue to cook, stirring the stew, until the moose stew bubbles and thickens up.
- Serve with rice or other sides of your liking.
