Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 pound venison (steaks or roast)

Vegetables

  • 1 onion (sliced into thin strips)
  • 1 cup mushrooms (sliced)

Seasonings and Sauces

  • ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 5 Tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Liquids and Others

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Venison: Place the venison pieces on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap, and pound with a meat mallet until thin. Then slice into thin strips.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the sliced onion and mushrooms for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened. Transfer them to a plate and set aside.
  3. Cook Venison: In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over high heat. Add the venison strips and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring constantly. Towards the end, season with salt, ground black pepper, and granulated garlic.
  4. Deglaze the Pan: Pour 1 cup of beef broth into the skillet and scrape the bottom to loosen any browned bits, incorporating rich flavor into the sauce.
  5. Simmer Venison: Stir well, then reduce heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes to tenderize the venison.
  6. Make Sour Cream Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup beef broth, all-purpose flour, sour cream, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and well combined.
  7. Combine Ingredients: Pour the sour cream mixture into the skillet with the venison. Return the sautéed onions and mushrooms to the pan as well.
  8. Final Simmer: Stir everything thoroughly and simmer the stroganoff for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to blend flavors.
  9. Serve: Serve the Venison Stroganoff hot over egg noodles or mashed potatoes for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh venison steaks or roast for tender texture.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • Serve with buttered egg noodles or creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce.
  • Adjust seasoning according to taste, especially salt and pepper.
  • Be careful not to overcook venison to avoid toughness.
