venison steaks
flour and shortening
1 tbsp. vinegar
1/2 c. chopped celery
1/2 c. chopped apple
1/2 c. chopped carrot
1/4 c. chopped onion

Cover steaks with flour and sear on all sides in shortening. Place steaks in ovenproof dish. Add enough water to cover the bottom of the dish. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar. Cover tightly and cook very slowly in 300°F oven about 2 hours, adding a little more liquid as necessary. About 30 minutes before meat is tender, add celery, apple, carrot and onion. This mixture will flavor the gravy and add flavor to the meat.
