Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Venison stew meat
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 Bay leaf
• 12 ounces Egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season the venison stew meat with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Sprinkle the venison with all-purpose flour and toss to coat evenly.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil and unsalted butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Brown the venison in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until deep brown. Remove and set the browned venison aside.

Step 5

In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and release browned bits.

Step 8

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and add the bay leaf.

Step 9

Return the browned venison to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the venison is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 10

While the venison is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 11

Once the venison is tender, discard the bay leaf. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 12

Serve the venison and sauce over the cooked egg noodles. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
