Planning to make this soon, but I live in way north Alberta and no one stocks pearl onions. What can I use as a substitute? Was thinking a sweet onion or maybe leeks but haven’t made this before so don’t know if those would work?

I made this yesterday to celebrate my husband’s 65th birthday! Followed the recipe pretty much as written except dredged the cubed elk with flour after seasoning, before browning. Also, I added 2 TBSPs of tomato paste after browning chopped onions and before adding the wine. I needed to add beef stock towards the end of cooking because the stew was very thick (flour & tomato paste). Overall, the best stew we have EVER eaten!!!

In reply to Bristol. Always seems to be the way it goes with stews, soups and chili. Next day is the best day!

I have to agree with the other posts, this is our favorite elk recipe. I followed the recipe and it was fantastic.

Hello! Inspired by a delicious elk stew I had in Idaho Springs, CO, a beef version of your recipe is presently in my oven – it simply could not smell more delicious! I’m trying to find an elk/game supplier (online, shipped frozen is fine, but would prefer local) – do you have any suggestions how to best go about this? Google search yields so many results…how to choose? I’m in the Denver metro area. Any help you have time to provide, I’d really appreciate!

In reply to Bjo. Great catch - I can see where I need to clean that up to make it more clear. You are correct. 90 minutes bake > then cook onions, pancetta and mushrooms > add to stew and cook for an additional 60 minutes or until tender.

I’m excited to try this today. To clarify- does it cook for 90min then add other ingredients and cook for an additional 60. 2.5hr total? Thank you for clarifying.

Excellant recipes!! I gave your cookbook out as Christmas presents this year. I have been so excited to try all your different recipes. I was having a hard time cooking with antelope, but your recipes made for some great meals. The three game chili was a hit with my family and at work!!
