How To Make Crock Pot Venison Stroganoff

1. Prepare the roast: Remove thawed roast from the refrigerator and season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Sauté vegetables: Cook onions, mushrooms, and garlic in olive oil until translucent. Add sherry and cook for 3 minutes to reduce slightly. Remove vegetables from the pan.
3. Brown the venison: Using the same pan, sear the seasoned roast 1–2 minutes per side over medium‑high heat.
4. Assemble in slow cooker: Place browned roast and sautéed vegetables into the crock pot. Add seasoning mix and beef stock. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours (about 4 hours per pound).
5. Cook noodles: Near the end of cooking time, boil egg noodles in salted water according to package directions. Drain well.
6. Finish stroganoff: Shred venison in the slow cooker, stir in sour cream and cooked noodles, and mix until creamy. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Recipe Tips

• Can I use bone‑in venison roast? Yes, just remove the bones when shredding the meat before adding sour cream and noodles.
• Do I have to thaw the venison first? Yes, thawing ensures even cooking and prevents toughness.
• Can I substitute the sherry? Use extra beef stock or red wine if you prefer.
• What noodles work best? Egg noodles are traditional, but wide pasta or spaetzle also work well.
• How to make it creamier: Add an extra ¼ cup sour cream for a richer sauce.

FAQs

Can I make venison stroganoff with beef instead?
Yes, beef chuck or rump roast can be substituted for venison with similar results.

Why is my stroganoff tough?
The venison likely wasn’t cooked long enough; continue slow cooking until it easily shreds.

Can I make this without alcohol?
Yes, replace sherry with additional beef broth.

Do I add noodles to the slow cooker or serve separately?
Add noodles at the end so they don’t overcook and become mushy.
