Vegetable Venison Soup

Advertisements

Vegetable venison soup is a vegetable soup with some meat to make it a hearty meal. This soup is not a side dish, but the center of a meal. Healthy and tasty, this recipe is a great use of any leftover veggies you may have. When I made this soup, I used venison slices. Though the venison tasted fantastic, it was hard to eat in bigger slices, but dice into bite-sized pieced before cooking or before transferring to the soup. Otherwise, this soup tastes more of vegetables and less of meat making the dish a light and filling meal. This recipe made 5 adult sized portions.

Cheese Steak Sandwiches

Advertisements

Cheese steaks are classic and great for parties or just a quick dinner. For this recipe I used thin sliced venison, but beef would work just as well. I also had just run out of lettuce, so there is only a tomato on this these sandwiches. Otherwise, the process is very straight forward. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them below! This recipe makes 4 sandwiches, 2-4 adult sized portions.

Sous Vide Venison Tenderloin Roast

Advertisements

Here’s another sous vide venison post! I know many people find these to be very helpful, so I hope this post will also offer some cooking options. For this recipe, I used one venison tenderloin, but you can use this same cooking time and temperature for different roasts as long as they are a similar size. Larger roasts can take significantly longer, but 1-2 pound roasts should take about the same. You will want to season your meat with atleast salt and pepper. Other cuts of meat will have more flavor, but the tenderloin specifically doesn’t have much flavor on it’s own and can use extra flavor, so consider a touch of fresh thyme or some minced garlic. This recipe made one tenderloin roast, enough to serve 2-3 adults with lighter sides.

What Is Sous Vide?

Sous vide is a technique that has been growing in popularity among home chefs over the last several years. It is the process of placing a sealed container of food or ingredients into a water bath that is holding a consistent temperature because of the sous vide machine. Sous vide is also special because cooking with it is meant to take a longer time at a lower temperature, in turn giving consistent results.

What You Will Need

  • 1 Venison Tenderloin Roast, about 6 inches and 1 lb
  • Sous Vide
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Vacuum Bag/Freezer Bag
  • Frying Pan
  • 2 Tbsp Oil
  • 1 Tbsp Butter

Directions

1. Set your sous vide to 139.5 F, and wait for it to heat up. Cover tenderloin with salt and pepper. Place your tenderloin roast, & any other seasoning into a vacuum sealer bag and seal, or a freezer zip lock bag, and use the water displacement method to remove almost all the air from the bag. Once up to temperature, add the roast and cook for 2.5 hours (or 1/2 to 1 hour longer for bigger cuts) for medium.

2. Heat frying pan over high heat. Add oil and butter, and once butter is melted, add tenderloin. Cook 1 minute per side and flip until everything has a nice crust on it. Remove from heat, place on serving plate, cut and serve immediately.

Slow Cooker Stuffed Cabbage with Sausage and Rice

Advertisements

Stuffed Cabbage, or pigs in a blanket, I’ve made before in the slow cooker. Last time, I used just beef, and that was very good. This time, to make it more traditionally, I added rice. Rice was originally added to stretch the filling to get more food cheaply. I also added some pork sausage. This added more spice to the stuffed cabbages. I also added beef broth to thin the sauce and cover the stuffed cabbages. It was another way to add more flavor than just water. I did make 10 stuffed cabbages with this recipe, but I made them very large, to the point where 1 to 1 1/2 stuffed cabbage was enough for 1 adult portion. These stuffed cabbages also freeze well. To freeze, transfer to a freezer safe container, cover with sauce, cover, label and freeze. Then they can be microwaved to reheat.

Repeat for remaining leaves, or until out of filling. Place down first layer of pigs, then spoon each with a layer of soup from a new can. Mix remaining tomato paste with remaining soup. Place your second layer of pigs, then top with remaining sauce. Add beef broth, and carefully stir. Cook covered for at least 2.5 hours or until internal temp of 165 F is reached, best if cooked on high for 6 hours for cabbage to become fully tender.

Beef Curry with Stir Fry Veggies

Advertisements

Curry is a dish you can order out or eat at home. Curry is most common in Asian countries so it is layered with Asian spices. You can buy curry sauce or curry paste that has been simmered for hours, or you can make some at home like I did in the recipe below. Usually curry is also made with a piece of meat with a lot of fat to it, however, if you want to make a cheaper curry, you can just use some ground beef from the freezer. This is not authentic curry, however it’s still curry and can be made with what you can find at home. If you want extra heat in your curry you could add some peppers or some hot sauce. This recipe makes 6-8 Adult sized servings.
