    Preheat oven to 350F

  3. 3

    In a large pan, heat duck fat over high heat. Sear pieces of venison until browned on all sides. Set venison aside in 13x9 pan and sprinkle with rosemary.

  4. 4

    In same pan, lower heat to medium-high and lightly sauté carrots, celery, onion, and mushrooms. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add to 13x9 pan with venison.

  5. 5

    In same pan, add olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, thyme, and parsley. Lightly sauté then add wine and beef broth. Lower heat and simmer until reduced. Then add to 13x9 with other ingredients.

  6. 6

    Cover 13x9 with foil and bake at 350F for 2 hours.

    While venison is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender. Strain potatoes. Add 1 stick of butter, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Mash to desired consistency.

  8. 8

    Serve venison, vegetables, and mashed potatoes. Thicken red wine broth with corn starch for a thicker, gravy like consistency.
