I forgot one thing that I added with the mushrooms during the last hour — 2 or 3 fresh tomatoes that were each cut into 16 pieces.
Re-posting with typo correction and fresh tomato addition. :)
Venison is very lean and a good substitute for beef, if handled correctly.
Low Calorie Crock Pot Venison Stew
Place in bottom of 6 qt. crock pot
1 venison steak cut into 1” x 2” pieces. Salt & Pepper.
2-3 Tbs Olive oil
1 large onion, chopped into medium sized pieces
2 cups celery (including the leaves), chopped
Cook on high for 1 hour
Add 1 #1 can stewed tomatoes
Reduce to warm
Cook another 1-2 hours
Season with 1/2 cup Tone’s Rosemary Garlic seasoning (or any other seasoning of your choice)
Stir and continue cooking.
After another hour add 2 cups of “shorty” carrots, split
Cook another hour; add 2 cups Brussels Sprouts, split
Add 1 cup mushrooms
Taste & correct seasoning, if necessary.
Continue cooking until meat is tender and sprouts are tender
Add 2-3 large tomatoes cut into 16 pieces each during the last hour.
This could be served over pasta, rice, or fresh spinach
I served it over a product new to me: Seeds of Change Brown Rice with Quinoa. I LOVE this product. It takes 90 seconds to fix in the microwave.
Serves 8
I never know what to do with venison because I think it’s hard to cook. It has no fat and often turns out dry and tough, but not this dish! Delicious.
Enjoy!
