Ingredients

  • 4 pounds venison shoulder
  • 1 carrot, cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • 2 ribs celery, cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • 2 Spanish onions, cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme
  • 6 sage leaves
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 6 peppercorns
  • 6 juniper berries
  • 1 bottle dry red wine
  • 1/4 cup lard
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 ounces speck, cut into 1/4-inch dice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 4 cloves
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • Grated montasio, for garnish

Directions

Trim the venison of any connective tissue, and cut it into 2 by 1-inch cubes. In a 6-quart pot, combine the carrot, celery, onions, rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic, peppercorns, juniper berries, and red wine and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, allow the marinade to cool, and submerge the venison pieces. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry with towels, reserving marinade. In a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, heat the lard until smoking. Season the venison with salt and pepper and place 4 to 5 pieces at a time in the pan. Sear until deep golden brown all over, then remove to a plate. Repeat the process until all the meat is done. Add the flour and speck to the pan and bring to a boil. Add the cinnamon, cloves, remaining marinade and meat, including juices exuded onto the plate, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook slowly for 1 1/4 hours, or until the meat is very tender. Remove from the heat and discard the herb sprigs, bay leaf, garlic, peppercorns, and juniper berries. Stir in the sour cream, sprinkle with parsley, check for seasoning, and serve immediately garnished with montasio.

    I would truly give this recipe a 4.5 but that is not an option and I think it should have a better overall rating. I would say that a dish is pretty good when you have someone take three helpings of it- which happened last night. The flavor in this was great. I used Barefoots cabernet sauvignon which, everyone says that its not good to drink but I can contest that it was great in this dish. I also used crisco instead of lard and decreased the amount of cinnamon to 1/2 tsp because of grandpa's recommendation from when he tried it.
    A couple of recommendations I have would be to put the peppercorns, juniper berries and cloves (when added later in a cheesecloth sack to avoid biting into one while eating. Also I would have loved mushrooms added to this.
    I would definitely tell you to try this recipe- you wont regret it.

    Excellent marinade for some Eastern Washington Mule Deer. Kids loved it.
