Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to stew elk meat in a slow cooker? Prepare your ingredients. Moose meat is tougher in texture than beef, so moose meat needs to be soaked, ideally for at least a day. This will soften the meat fibers and saturate them with moisture. Don’t forget about the specific smell that elk meat has. Water with vinegar and spices helps get rid of this smell. Take table vinegar, 9%.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the elk meat thoroughly, remove bones, films, and blood. Pour water over the meat until it is completely covered. Pour table vinegar into the meat. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 12 hours, or better yet, for a day.

Step 3

Step 3
After time has passed, remove the meat from the marinade, dry and cut into portions.

Step 4

Step 4
Pour vegetable oil into the multicooker bowl and add meat.

Step 5

Step 5
Turn on the “Fry” mode on the multicooker (or another suitable for frying, depending on your model) and cook the meat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.

Step 6

Step 6
Peel the onion, but do not cut it, you will need it whole. Pour hot water into the fried meat, add onion, bay leaves, dried herbs, ground pepper and salt. Hot water is added so that unnecessary time is not wasted on heating it when extinguishing. You can change the set of spices to your taste.

Simmer the elk meat for 2 hours on the “Stew” mode (or another suitable one), stirring it occasionally.
