For a deeper flavor, sear the moose meat in batches to ensure proper browning. Don't overcrowd the pan! If you prefer a thicker stew, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Feel free to add other vegetables such as parsnips, turnips, or mushrooms for added flavor and nutrition. This stew tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Step
20 mins
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the floured moose meat in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Brown the meat on all sides, creating a rich, flavorful crust. This should take about 5-7 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned meat to a 6-quart or larger slow cooker. (Cook time: 20 minutes)

10 mins
Pour the beef stock over the meat in the slow cooker. Add the carrots, celery, potatoes, onion, diced tomatoes (with their juice), bay leaves, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and minced garlic. Stir gently to combine all ingredients. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
