- 2 medium Parsnips(peeled and cut into chunks)
- 1 small Celery root(peeled and cut into chunks)

👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Pat the elk meat dry and season generously with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, melt butter with olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the elk meat in batches until well-seared on all sides. Remove the meat and set aside.
- 2
Add the chopped onions, carrots, parsnips, and celery root to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
- 3
Stir in the minced garlic, juniper berries, and bay leaves. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the flour.
- 5
Gradually pour in the beef or game stock, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- 6
Return the browned elk meat to the pot, along with any accumulated juices. Add the fresh thyme sprig. Ensure the meat is mostly submerged in the liquid; add more stock or water if needed.
- 7
Bring the stew to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and cook for at least 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the elk meat is very tender and falling apart. Stir occasionally.
- 8
Remove the thyme sprig and bay leaves before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, perhaps with boiled potatoes or crusty bread.
