For the first time, I tried venison in Austria, in the office canteen. Hirschragout, or venison ragu, is a traditional Austrian dish in a hunting season. Venison is also used for schnitzels but ragu is more widespread. I’ve just recently started using it in cooking. My favorite farm shop sells it every year but I bought it only this year on the seller’s recommendation. Now I’m always checking in to see if they have some 🙂 Venison can also be sourced from deer farms which is a thing I didn’t know about before 🙂 Venison is great. It’s dark, lean, tender, and delicious. I prepare it in red wine with cinnamon, clove, and black pepper. It turns out amazing.

This recipe can also be applied to beef, it’ll be great!

Enjoy!

Cut the meat into 4 cm cubes. Season with salt and pepper on both sides and cook over high heat until it turns brown.
Transfer to a plate, cover to keep warm.

Cut the onion into half-circles.

Done

Cook the onion over medium/low heat until soft and caramelized for around 20-25 min. The onion should turn golden brown. Don’t fry it! It’s important for the taste of this ragu.

When the onion is done, increase the heat, add the wine and cook until ½ of liquid is evaporated.

5

In a pot, add the meat, onion and wine, spices, salt. Cover with beef broth by ⅔.

6

Bring to a boil. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 120 degrees. Cover the ragu with a lid, transfer to the oven and cook for 4-5 hours until the meat is fork-tender.

7
Done

To prepare a thick gravy, add 2 tbsp flour to the onions and cook for 2 min, then add the wine, or, when the meat is done, take it out, warm up the gravy, add 1 tbsp starch and let boil for 1 min, then transfer the meat back and combine.
