Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef stew meat
• 1 pound Moose meat (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 1 pound Venison (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.33 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 large Yellow onion (thinly sliced)
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 8 ounces Mushrooms (sliced)
• 3 cups Beef broth
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (leaves only)
• 2 pieces Bay leaves
• 0.33 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef, moose, and venison with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss the seasoned meat with all-purpose flour until evenly coated.

Step 2

Heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven. Sear the meat in batches until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the browned meat to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onions and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the mushrooms have begun releasing their moisture.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, bay leaves, and the remaining salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Return the browned meats to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 1.5-2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and let the mixture simmer uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaves and discard. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a complete meal.
