Slow Cooker Venison Stew with Brown Gravy

This slow cooker venison stew is a foolproof way to tenderize deer meat and the brown gravy is totally the best-tasting gravy to dunk your bread into.

Even though this is a staple in the winter months, I love it with all fresh vegetables in the summer when they are plentiful using frozen deer meat from the winter catch.

The fresh string beans, garden tomatoes and really this basic stew can be made with any meat including chicken, lamb, or of course what you can here for deer meat.

Slowly cooking these chunks makes a very fork-tender and very flavorful stew so it's really a great recipe all the way around.
