    I've done a similar Elk stew recipe for years but without the brandy. Guess what I'm gonna try next trip!

    This is definitely a must do at our camper up north while splitting wood. I am going to try it in the crock pot too. Great post!

    Hey Trout,

    This sounds great, a must try for me. I love being outdoors in the fall. Especially cooking something over a fire. Thumbs up

    if you sauteed in a skillet ahead of time..and then threw it in a roaster or crock pot...it should come off close right...the thing about a fire pit outdoors is the lazy fall day .....tw

    Wow Trout.....do you think this would work in the slow cooker? Or slow roasted in the oven? What temp do you suppose? I want to surprise my hubby! We have plenty of brandy on hand to give this one a good whirl. Let me know on the other cooking procedures? Thanks for the great post!

    Not a big fan of venison-still makes me think of Bambi-I know,crazy. I do have a friend that brings me some from time to time & believe me I do eat it. I'm not digging a coal pit tho-have to do it inside. Nice recipe. Thanks.
