- Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
- Yield: 6-8 servings
- Category: Main Dish
- Method: Stovetop
- Cuisine: French American
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. antelope stew meat (or elk, venison, moose, beef, bear – really any red meat)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- 1-2 Tbsp. high heat tolerant oil or fat (duck/deer/beef fat, avocado oil, clarified butter)
- 1 lb. baby, gold potatoes, quartered
- 3-4 large carrots, diced
- 3 celery stalks, diced
- 1 large leek, sliced
- 4-5 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp. Herbs de Provence (optional)
- 1 (15oz.) can diced tomatoes, drained
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock
- ½ cup red wine (dry red like a Cabernet or Bordeaux is lovely)
- 5-10 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 3 Tbsp. corn starch, arrowroot powder or tapioca starch (optional for thicker consistency)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil or fat. Once hot, sear the antelope on all sides. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding the meat.
- Once seared, transfer the meat to a soup pot with the potatoes.
- Then layer in the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, Herbs de Provence, salt and pepper (to taste), tomatoes, stock, wine, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Cook on low for 1-2 hours until flavors nicely combined.
- Optional (for thick stew) – Remove a few spoonfuls of the broth and pour into a bowl or cup. Stir in the starch until the starch dissolves making a slurry. Pour the slurry into the stew, stir well, and continue cooking to desired consistency.
- Serve with crusty bread (ciabatta or homemade bread is best!) & get cozy!

Love at First Beat
A Small-Town Cowboy Doctor / Curvy Girl Romance
I mend broken hearts for a living. But mine’s been shattered for years … until she walks into my hospital.
One chance encounter, one snowstorm, and one gorgeous, curvy romance author stranded in my cabin… suddenly, the Sierra Nevada winter feels a whole lot hotter.
As an Army vet and top cardiologist, I’ve built my life around control. But Drew? She’s pure temptation—soft lips, wicked curves, and a fire that melts every icy wall I’ve built.
We tell ourselves it’s just a revenge fling. One holiday weekend to forget our cheating exes. But trapped together with the wind howling outside, I can’t keep my hands, or my mouth, off her.
Every touch is hotter. Every kiss, deeper. Every night, wilder than the last.
By the time the roads clear, I’m not sure I can let her go. Because the only thing I want this Christmas … is her.
BWWM forced proximity. HEA guaranteed. No third-act breakup—just toe-curling heat, a dirty-talking cowboy mountain man, and a heroine who gives as good as she gets.
