German Venison Goulash

Submitted by John R. McCann 

2 Pounds of Venison (Any Cut) cut into 1 1/2 " Cubes

3 Tablespoons Flour

3 Tablespoons Bacon Fat

1 Large Onion, Sliced or Chopped Fine

2 Cloves Garlic, Chopped

1 Tablespoon (hot) Hungarian Paprika

1/2 Cup Red Wine

1 Quart Boiling Water or Stock

Salt to Taste

1 Small Can Tomato Paste

1 Cup Sour Cream

 

 

 1.      Roll the meat in the flour, pressing the flour into the cubes.  (Keep cubes apart, otherwise they “glue” together.)

2.      Melt the fat in a skillet, add the onion and garlic and cook until browned.

3.      Add the meat and brown well.  Add all the remaining ingredients except the sour cream.  Stir well, cover and simmer gently covered until the meat is tender, two to three hours, adding more stock, water or wine if necessary.

4.      Just before serving, stir in the sour cream.  Serve with red cabbage cooked with apples, and buttered noodles (or spaetzle!), or boiled new potatoes covered with sour cream.

Notes:  I used beef bouillon for stock.  Meat was tender in two hours. There was no “gamey” flavor.   Delicious!!! And, for those who need to know it, the alcohol cooks out of the wine.
