***RECIPE***
a lean, tough beef roast (bottom round is classic, figure .5 lb / 227g per person)
red wine vinegar (a lot, I used a whole bottle)
red wine
stock, water, etc.
honey or other sugar
onions, carrots, celery, leeks, garlic, whatever aromatics you've got, etc.
parsley or other fresh herb for garnish
potatoes (I'd figure one large baking potato per two people)
potato starch (cornstarch or AP flour would work instead)
egg (I only needed one for four big portions of dumplings)
ginger snaps or similar spice cookies (I needed like half a package, it's a lot)
spices (a few juniper berries and cloves are key to me)
Roughly cut up your aromatics — they're getting strained out in the end, so don't be precious about it. Throw them in a pot along with some spices and add vinegar and red wine — I like a about 1 part vinegar to two parts wine to two parts stock/water, but don't add the stock/water yet. Plan such that you'll have just enough liquid to cover the roast at the end.
Bring this liquid to a boil then kill the heat. Stir in salt to taste, and maybe stir in a little honey or other sugar. Now is when you can add your stock/water to help cool things down — I like to throw in ice cubes.
When the liquid is cool and you have enough to submerge your raw roast, submerge your raw roast and marinate in the fridge for 2 to 7 days — make sure to do this in a ceramic or plastic vessel rather than a metal one, as the acid could leech out metal ions.
Take the roast out and dry it on paper towels. Heat a film of oil in a different pan and brown the roast on all sides. When the roast is brown, return it to the marinade. Either deglaze the pan water and add that liquid to the marinade, or brown a little starch/flour in the accumulated fat to make a roux then deglaze with water and add to the marinade.
Simmer the roast in the marinade, covered, until tender as you want it — I gave mine four hours and wished I had pulled it at three. You can simmer on the stovetop or in the oven — I did the oven at 300ºF/150ºC, because that allowed me to bake my whole potatoes at the same time, which took almost three hours at that relatively low temperature.
When the potatoes are squishably soft, take them out, cut them open and let them steam out. When they're cool enough to handle, scoop out all the potato flesh and discard the skins. Break up any big pieces of potato and then season them to taste with salt and other spices — nutmeg would be traditional but I did garlic powder and onion powder and it was really good.
Into the potatoes, mix beaten egg and starch/flour for binding until you get a dough that will hold the shape of a ball — mix as little as possible and use as little starch/flour as possible or the dumplings will come out rubbery. Form roughly golf-sized balls and boil in a big pot of salted water until they float — about 10 minutes. Drain, and then you can toss these in a little melted butter or oil and just hold them covered until dinner is ready. Reheat if necessary.
When the roast is soft as you want it, take it out to rest, bring the marinade back up to a boil and reduce about by half. Thicken the gravy with ginger cookies — they'll dissolve faster if you pulverize them first, but you can also just throw them in whole. When the gravy is thick as you want, strain it and discard the solids. Season to taste — it should be strongly sweet and sour and salty and meaty.
Slice the roast, serve with potato balls, drench everything in gravy and top with chopped parsley or some such. Maybe have a salad too?

Slow Cooker Venison Stew | Thick & Hearty Recipe
You have got to try this thick & hearty slow cooker venison stew recipe if you have deer meat in the freezer. Full recipe:
This thick, hearty and healthy slow cooker venison stew is made in the crockpot with tender hunks of deer meat, veggies, and a rich & flavorful broth.
This venison stew recipe ( is one of the most popular recipes on my website. But, some have commented that they love the flavor but wish it was a bit thicker. So, I decided to give you a super easy version of deer meat stew that you can make in the crockpot that's nice and thick. Just what you all asked for!
The reason I like making venison stew in the slow cooker is because the crockpot allows you to cook your deer meat low and slow (or braise gently in liquid) for hours at a time with little to no effort. And you're not messing up or crowing the oven/stovetop.
This is the BEST slow cooker venison stew because it combines a rich, flavorful broth (that really works WITH and is designed for your wild game), tender meat, perfectly cooked veggies. And, you're basically only working on it for about 15 minutes before you let the slow cooker do all of the work for you! How easy is that? (where are my Ina fans at?)
As I mentioned previously, if you're working with a tough cut of meat or one with a lot of connective tissue, it's best to cook it low and slow. AKA, cooking it at a low temperature for a long time to ensure that the meat falls apart. If it isn't falling apart, turn the heat down and cook it longer. I recommend cooking this stew recipe for 8-9 hours on low in the slow cooker. You can do 4-5 hours but your meat won't be as tender and the flavor won't be as developed. So, you've been warned!
Since this recipe takes 8 hours to make, you can always do all of the chopping the night before and sear your venison and add it to the slow cooker. When you wake up, add the liquid, set it, and forget it while you go about your day.
