Secret To A Great Deer Stew?

[minky]

I am wondering what everyone does to make their deer stew great? When I put up my deer stew meat it is of the highest quality i can make. I know stew meat brings to mind lesser cuts. For me, the pieces of meat are often smaller pieces off of steak or roasts.

I do throw in some Beef bouillon powder which helps the taste a bit if it's to wild for some of your family?

First reaction when I read "highest quality" was you were using loin and tenderloin in your stew. I thought we might have to hold our first HSO intervention.

 

I don't really have any stew tips. They always taste great to me. Although I really like rutabaga in stew and most people just use taters.

My mother always used to put in a parsnip or two, and said it improved flavor.   I was ok with it but didn't care to actually eat the parsnips....
