Pasta, rice or mashed potatoes

Directions:

Season cubed venison with pepper and salt.
Over medium-high heat melt 1 tablespoon of Crisco in pan and sauté half of the venison until brown on all sides; set aside.
Melt remaining tablespoon of Crisco in pan and sauté remaining half of the venison until brown on all sides; set aside.
Add onion, carrot and celery to pan adding a drizzle of canola oil if needed and sauté until onions are translucent and golden in color.
Pour in red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add venison to pan.
