Neat and easy, great meal everytime!!!!

This was very good and easy to put together

This is just the sort of stew recipe I was looking for. It was surprisingly delicious. Even my kids loved it. I used seasoned salt in the flour with the black pepper to coat the meat, and Better Than Bouillon beef soup base paste instead of bouillon granules, but otherwise followed instructions almost exactly. I was tempted to add other ingredients (like celery and tomatoes, or majoram) but it smelled so wonderful while just the meat was cooking I decided to try it as written. I'm glad I didn't! I honestly forgot to thicken the stew with the flour and water mixture, but it was plenty thick for us without it. I did end up adding about 4 cups more water throughout the cooking process; I guess that is because of the higher elevation here. I think I'll try this with some shiras moose next. Excellent recipe! Thanks so much!

Very easy recipe that makes for a perfect winter time meal. I altered the recipe slightly by adding a cup of red wine in place of water after I tasted the finished product and it made the recipe even better. I've made dozens of stew recipes over the years and this is a keeper based on its ease of preparation and the fact that the ingredients don't over power the taste of the elk.
