Moose Stew Slow Cooker Recipe
This moose stew slow cooker recipe will warm and nourish you on those cold, dark winter nights. It's inspired by a classic stew recipe, but with some healthy, northern twists.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ - 2 lb moose meat (or other red meat)
- 2 tbsp bacon fat or lard (or other cooking oil/fat)
- 4 cups bone broth (or store-bought beef broth)
- 4 large turnips (or white potatoes)
- 3 carrots
- 4 fresh garlic cloves
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 3 bay leaves
Instructions
- Dice up your turnips, carrots, onions and garlic.
- Add about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat or lard to a cast iron pan on medium heat.
- Brown your moose meat until it’s got some nice colour on it. Then put your meat in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Next add your onions and garlic to the cast iron pan and sauté until they start browning and getting fragrant. Add those to your slow cooker.
- If you want you can also brown your turnips and carrots before adding those to the slow cooker as well.
- Once you’ve got everything into your slow cooker, pour in 4 cups of bone broth or beef broth. This should almost completely cover your meat and vegetables. If not, feel free to add a bit of additional broth or water.
- Add in the remaining seasonings – salt, pepper, thyme, and bay leaves.
- Set your slow cooker to 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high. I highly recommend going low and slow if you can for the best results! It's a long time to wait but the extra cooking time is worth it.
- Once done, enjoy immediately!
- Store leftovers in the fridge for the next day.
