• Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the venison is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. If desired, you can make a slurry with cornstarch and water to thicken the sauce in the last hour of cooking. Low and slow cooking is essential for tenderizing tough cuts; if the meat is not falling apart, reduce heat and extend cooking time.

  • Once cooked, serve the venison steaks topped with the gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or your choice of side.

    • Extra Tips:
    For an even more flavorful dish, consider marinating the venison steaks overnight in a vinegar-based solution. This will help tenderize the meat and infuse it with additional flavor.

    Also, don’t hesitate to experiment with different herbs and spices to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy the leftovers, as they often taste even better the next day!
