This recipe also works well with beef, but venison is far tastier and better for you, since it is very low in fat. If you want to make this recipe even lower fat you can leave out the stage with the butter and flour, put it all in one pot without frying the veg (although you will still need to seal the meat) and thicken the whole thing at the end of cooking by adding a couple of spoonfuls of gravy granules. Serve it with mashed potato. -- posted by renjack
