Rich and tender Easy Instant Pot Venison Stew comes together quickly for the perfect rustic, comforting dinner to use up your harvest in the freezer.
I honestly don’t know how to fully describe how impressed I was with this instant pot venison stew the first time I made it. J was away for the weekend and I wanted to test something in the Instant Pot for the blog. I happened to have some beef broth laying around, and there was venison defrosted in the fridge. So, to the kitchen, I went.
Sometimes, I like to make venison stew on the stovetop. But when I’m in a pinch and don’t have 2 hours to wait for the meat to get tender, this is the trick.
I quickly diced up a mirepoix, or onions celery and carrots. That’s the base of any good French soup or stew. I kept the rest of the ingredients simple because I didn’t want anything fancy. I added a French spice blend called herbs de Provence. It’s lovely and Wal Mart actually has a great organic variety for under $3. So sorry, no substitutions there. So, get you some herbs de Provence, friends.
I sauteed in the IP, added my liquid ingredients and went along on my merry way. When I made this soup the first time, we were packing to move into our first home, so time was scarce. This is the most tender piece of venison I’ve ever had in maaahhhh life, friends, because of the Instant Pot. I KID YOU NOT. This stew is honestly beautiful. It’s rustic, simple and even the most staunch venison opposer would probably fall in love with it. Instant Pot:1 Allie: 1 (I call this a win win situation).
INGREDIENTS AND KITCHEN TOOLS | DEER MEAT, VEGETABLES, HERBS,
Ready to satisfy your hunger with the irresistible flavors of this Instant Pot Venison Stew! This hearty and comforting dish is the perfect way to warm yourself up on a chilly, snowy evening. Imagine tender chunks of succulent venison, mingling with a medley of colorful vegetables, all simmering in a rich and savory broth. The aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water! So, gather your ingredients – fresh venison, aromatic herbs, hearty vegetables – and let’s dive in! Here is what you are going to need:
Olive oil
Venison stew meat, diced with all sinew removed – I used leg meat*
Herbs de Provence
Salt
Black pepper
Diced potatoes, I left the skin on (I bet sweet potatoes would work here too!)
Diced carrots
Diced celery
Onion, diced
Garlic cloves, minced
Diced tomatoes
Unsalted beef stock or venison stock (you could also use vegetable broth or chicken broth here)
Worcestershire sauce
Kitchen tools:
You don’t need much to complete this quick and easy venison roast recipe. Just some simple kitchen tools that I always recommend having on hand:
- Instant Pot (of course!)
- Sharp Knife
- Cutting Board
STEP BY STEP | INSTANT POT VENISON STEW RECIPE
Step 1: Dice the potatoes, carrots, celery and onion. Mince the garlic. Set aside in a bowl.
Step 2: Dice the venison into bite-sized chunks, being sure to remove any of the silvery sinew tissue. Leaving this on makes the meat tough.
Step 3: Add the olive oil to the bottom of the pot and add the cubed venison. Add the spices and seasoning.
Step 4: Turn the Instant Pot to “Saute” for 10 minutes.
Step 5: Allow the venison to saute for 5 minutes and add the bowl of vegetables. Saute until the cycle ends with the lid off.
Step 6: Add the tomatoes, broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well, secure the lid, and seal the valve.
Step 7: Select “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” on high pressure and adjust the time to 30 minutes. Allow the Instant Pot to do its thang. Go pour some wine, do your nails, whatever.
Step 8: When the cycle finishes, allow it to naturally release for 10 minutes before turning the knob to venting according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 9: Allow the Instant Pot to vent fully, remove the lid and serve!
NOTES:
- Beef would work well, too! You can use any cut of venison, backstrap would be lovely. Leg meat is tough, so this recipe helps it to be tender and delish!
- If you want to make this in the slow cooker, saute the venison in a pan and add it to the slow cooker with all of the other ingredients. Let it cook for 4-5 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
- Herbs de Provence is a French spice blend. It’s lovely and Wal Mart actually has a great organic variety for under $3. If you have to substitute, use Italian seasoning.
HOW TO SERVE
Instant Pot venison stew is a delicious and nutritious meal that combines the modern convenience of the Instant Pot with the rustic charm of this lean and flavorful meat. You don’t need much to serve up this delicious dish. To serve this delightful dish, ladle a generous portion of the piping hot stew into your bowl, serve with a slice of crusty bread, biscuit, cornbread, whichever you prefer, and enjoy!
STORING AND REHEATING
If you have some leftover roast and are wanting to pack it away for lunches throughout the week. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. You can reheat in the microwave or stove top until warm.
COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How Do You Get Venison To Be Tender In Stew?
This is one of my most frequently asked questions. And for you, I have two tips.
- Remove all sinew.
- Sear and braise – low & slow
What is sinew, you ask?
Sinew is the silvery connective tissue that you see running through your venison. When it isn’t removed, it causes venison to curl up like a rubber band and get really tough.
I love stew because you can cut venison into small, bite-sized pieces and remove the sinew as you go. This helps each bite of venison to be ultra-tender.

Branna says
how much garlic do I mince?
Miss AK says
2 cloves will be perfect!
Caroline says
Delicious! I used some rub seasoning I had on hand but will purchase herbs de Provence when I get to the store! I also used diced tomatoes with green chilies because we like a little extra zip.🔥 Thank you!
Chris Cleeland says
Made this last night with some leg meat and bone broth I’d made the night before. I left out the can of tomatoes (substituting equivalent broth) since my wife doesn’t like them and used chinese celery for regular celery (it’s much leafier and stalks thinner) because that’s what I had, and this dish was OUTSTANDING. This will likely be my go-to for any kind of beef soup/stew.
Also, for any doubters, “herbs de provence” is great stuff to keep on hand. It’s been a cabinet staple of mine for over 20 years.
Miss AK says
Hey Chris! I am SO glad you liked this and that the substitutions worked well. I imagine this template would work well with almost any meat and vegetable! 🙂
Joe M says
High Pressure? Low pressure?
Miss AK says
high works well for me
Jared Doran says
This isn’t Dinty Moore folks!
Best venison stew on the net! Harvested by your truly (yes, this is Allies husband) and prepped/cooked by the best chef….or food blogger in town!
Slice it, dice it and throw it in the instant pot. 35 minutes later and you will have yourself one of the best home cooked meals you ever laid your tongue on.
Sincerely, J
Miss AK says
Well, I sure am glad you like it!!! 🙂
Sarah Davis says
This is the first thing I tried in my Instapot – I had some deer in the freezer I have been trying to find a use for. I love how rustic and earthy this stew is – it turned out so well! Thank you for sharing 🙂
Miss AK says
Hey Sarah!!! I am SO glad. This is my favorite thing to make in the IP, hands down. Thanks so much for letting me know you loved!
Sharon C says
I made this a couple days ago, I didn’t expect it to be so delicious, because it’s too simple, but it was super delicious.. My whole family liked it, I didn’t have beef broth, so I used chicken broth . I will make another IP of this again soon.
Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Miss AK says
Oh, Sharon, I’m so glad! Sometimes it’s the most simple things that steal our hearts!
Shelby says
This was the second meal we tried in the Instant Pot and we are BLOWN AWAY! We were looking for a way to use up a (slightly freezer burned) stockpile of venison from 3 months ago and this stew was PERFECT. So delicious and such a good way to get more veggies into my SO’s diet 🙂
Miss AK says
I am so so glad! Thanks so much for your comment & for making the recipe! 🙂
Bri says
This was AMAZING. Thanks so much for this great recipe. YUM!
Miss AK says
Of course, Bri! Thanks so much for trying it!
Karin says
I am now wishing I had more venison in the freezer! This was absolutely delicious!!
Miss AK says
Here’s to hoping you can harvest some more!!! <3
LouAnn says
I can not adjust my sauté to 10 minutes but I made do with the programmed 30 minus 20. I have it in the IP now on manual, but I only set it for 15 minutes because I am worried the vegetables are going to be to soft. Has anyone had a problem with too soft vegtables?
Miss AK says
Hi LouAnn! All of the recipes are tested so the directions indicate what has worked for me! Sorry you’re unable to program saute for 10 minutes, mine easily lets me do that! I hope you get it figured out! You can always set it for 15 minutes if you like a firmer vegetable and see what you think. Thanks for checking out the recipe!
Rena says
Trying this tonight on a cold night here in ND. The deer and moose are plentiful but going to try it with venison chuck roast, cut up first. Now to find a recipe for herbs de Provence…… 30 miles from town makes not a quick run to the store to get….will have to suffice with what I have on hand.
I’ll be back later with a complete review and what I had to substitute.
Miss AK says
Hey Rena! Thanks so much for your comment, I would LOVE to get my hands on some moose to try this with. I think the chuck roast will be divine. The herbs de Provence is lovely (I actually get mine from Wal Mart, if you have one in your town I recommend picking up their organic version the next time you go. It’s about $2). That blend has basil, fennel, marjoram, parsley, rosemary, lavender, tarragon, and thyme. Since this soup borrows a lot from French cooking techniques, it works well, but just blend what you have from those spices, or even use some Italian seasoning if you’re really in a pinch! Can’t wait to hear what you think!
Rena says
Good morning Miss Allie! It is divine! So because of where I live (a longggg way from town) I had to improvise somewhat:
Basil, marjoram, parsley, tarragon, thyme, oregano, Famous Daves burger and steak seasoning, seasoning salt and garlic salt. Although looking back I wonder if a drop of Lavender EO would have been ok too.
Broths: already had a veggie broth open so used 1 1/2 cups of that and then an additional carton of beef broth.
More than a couple shakes of the Worcestershire sauce, like “shake, shake shake……shake, shake, shake,….. shake your bootie, shake your bootie,” well kinda like that anyway (gosh am I dating myself here???? KC and his band from WAY back when!)
I first cut the venison roasts up as they needed trimming badly into nice bite size pieces. I keep a sharp scissors just for this purpose in my countertop whirlygig. Turned on the Saute button and added some avacado oil and let it brown for a bit then added all the rest of the recipe and my altered ingredients.
YEP, it’s a keeper folks! You don’t even taste venison in the recipe. I highly suggest this if you have picker eaters that ‘don’t like venison’. I promise you, they will NEVER know the difference!
This stew, crusty bread and warm homemade applesauce-it was fantastic on a chilly night in North Dakota! And the left overs for lunches are even better!
Miss AK says
Hmm I will try the lavender EO in mine next time! I’m wondering if it may be too much, but it could also be a GREAT hack! I’m so so glad you enjoyed the recipe and you all have no idea how much these comments mean to me! THANK YOU!!!! <3
Jared says
Woot woot! Venison stew
Miss AK says
<3
Janet says
This sounds really fun to try. I am ALWAYS looking for something to do with everything my husband harvests. I have a package of stew meat (I’m not sure what…but thinking mule deer) and elk. I have a killer stew recipe from a dutch oven cookbook and was going to try that one in my instant pot but am glad I ran across this recipe. You had me at ” herbs de Provence”!! lol.. You don’t find a lot of French cuisine recipes on here for wild game. I’m running to Walmart right now (had to get some fabric paint for a Vday craft any way) Wish me luck!!
Miss AK says
i hope you were able to find it and try the recipe!! 🙂
Doreen Giamportone says
Thanks for the recipe. It was so simple. Unfortuanately I didn’t have many of the ingrediants but all my substitutions seemed to work except for too much water according to my husband. He actualy made me turn the liquid into a gravy. My daughter complained that the veggies were too soft, so I was wondering if I could cook it less or put not saute them. She said she likes to chew her vergies! Teenagers! But she ate it and said she’d eat it again. It was a nice meal for hot snowy night. Will be sure to get those Herb de Provence next week at Walmarts. But for tonight, Italian seasoning worked for us!
Miss AK says
You can absolutely just reduce the time for the pressure cooking! The vegetables don’t get mushy on me, but perhaps mine are in bigger pieces! So glad the substitutions worked!
Joe says
How many servings does this make? I want to try for a large group so need to figure out how to adjust ingredient quantities. Thx.
Miss AK says
Hey Joe! This makes 6 servings.
Susan says
Hi Allie,
I’ll be making this recipe soon and had a question re the setting for cooking the stew. I understand the manual setting at 30 minutes—and just checking to see if that should be at ‘normal’ or ‘high’ pressure. Also, I have a meat/stew setting and was wondering about using that. Thank you!
Sue
Miss AK says
Hi Sue! I use normal pressure! I haven’t used the meat/stew setting, but I’ll test that out the next time I make it and report back. If you decide to try it, I’d just decrease the cooking time by 5-10 minutes and test to see what you think! You can always cook it a little while longer if you’d like. Thanks for your questions!
Julia says
Can I use ground venison for this recipe too?
Miss AK says
Hey Julia! I would think you can, but I haven’t tested this! It will be more of a soup than a stew consistency, but give it a go and let me know what you think! Follow all of the directions (just saute the ground venison when it says to sear the stew meat)! Interested to see if you like it! 🙂
Clementine Lockhart says
Just made this and it is delicious!
I don’t have an instant pot so I cooked it in my pressure cooker. 8 min at 15 psi. It turned out just right, Veggies are not mushy which is my chief complaint with a slow cooker. The herbs are ” spot on”.
Johnnie Baird says
Excellent! Followed the recipe closely except sliced up 6 green onions instead of regular onions that my son’s won’t eat. Used a venison steak. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
Miss AK says
Glad to know the green onions worked out and that you enjoyed the recipe 🙂
NYCook says
Cannot rate, as I have not made. Searching for a recipe for a family member..excited to find this one! .Can this be doubled or even tripled? If so, any adjustments? Thank you.
Miss AK says
You can certainly double or triple this recipe, I have not done so because we usually only have 2-3 roasts each year and I use them sparingly. You may just need to up the saute time on the Instant Pot and sear each piece of roast separately so everything has a nice sear on it. If your meat isn’t fall-apart tender, simply up the cooking time by 10-15 minutes.
ashleigh says
Would you happen to know if these same times will also work in the crock pot pressure cooker?
Miss AK says
I’ve never used that machine, but these times should work in any pressure cooker!
Eric says
Cooked this for the family this evening and it was a hit. Ran low on broth so I added some locally brewed brown ale. Just enough left over stew to take in to work tomorrow…barely enough. Might try this again with some elk sitting in the freezer
Miss AK says
oh man that’s an excellent addition. thanks so much for trying!
Rory O'Connor says
When you say leg meat, are you talking front shoulder meat, or shanks? I’m curious if 30 minutes is enough time to fully tenderize even chunked up shanks. I’m going to try it tonight and see I guess.
Miss AK says
Shanks could work if broken down correctly. Did you have luck?
Becci says
Best stew I’ve ever made!
Miss AK says
I’m SO glad you enjoyed it!
Erica says
Wow, this worked perfectly!! I was unsure about the cook time and thought it sounded too long but I followed the recipe and was FANTASTIC! I used venison steak (cut into pieces) and couldn’t be happier with how this turned out. Thanks Allie!
Stephanie says
First time making this stew. Followed it exactly. What amazing flavor, The venison was so tender. Definitely a keeper! Thank you for sharing.
Miss AK says
SOO glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Sondra Gatien says
Hi- was wondering what I could sub for the diced tomatoes as I have none ?
Any ideas ?
🙂
Thank you
Miss AK says
Hi Sondra – you could add more celery or carrots to bulk up the stew, but I wouldn’t recommend omitting the diced tomatoes. Their flavor and texture is really important in this recipe and makes the stew. If you can, I would add some!
Leigh Espy says
I got an Instant Pot for Christmas and just made this as my first recipe. Yum! Everyone in the family loved it – even my picky 15-year-old daughter! The deer meat came out so tender! I’ll definitely make this again!
Miss AK says
I’m SOOOO glad, Leigh!
Michelle says
I just made this for dinner tonight. I didn’t use tomatoes cause I don’t have any on hand. Everything else made to the T. Very good stew thanks for sharing
Miss AK says
absolutely!!! So glad you enjoyed!
Emily says
Is there a reason why you use manual/pressure cook instead of the “stew” setting?
Thanks!
Miss AK says
This is totally personal preference – it works better for me! I also know that some may be using regular pressure cookers and felt these directions would be more easily adapted! Thanks for your question!
Bill says
Very good eating a second bowl right now. My only question would be what makes this stew and not a soup as there is no thickening agent. I thought stew was thicker. I was hoping to make left overs into a meat pue.
Either way I just subscribe .looking forward to many more good recipes
Bill Schlieger
Miss AK says
Thanks for subscribing, Bill! Stew is thicker and when this cooks down with the starch from the potatoes, it is a little thicker and there is less liquid than if you were making soup. We happen to love the consistency.
Amanda says
Fantastic and easy (aside from the prep work). I added mushrooms. Next time will be sure to add peas. Family loved it-my 3 year old even ate this meal without any complaints! Well find Miss Allie and thanks for sharing!
Miss AK says
So glad you enjoyed it!!!
Sarah C. says
Easy and delicious fail-proof recipe. Thanks!
Diane says
Exactly the recipe I was looking for and on point. Meat is tender, no need for alcohol and the veggies are perfect! Cooked polenta as a side dish. Family loved it
Sheri says
Delicious!! Made it with venison.
Miss AK says
So glad!!
Jane Seibert says
This is a great recipe! I substitute a 6oz. can of tomato paste for the chopped tomatoes, add it to the saute with the meat. It’s really savory.
Miss AK says
Great idea!!
Stacey says
I just made this tonight and we all loved it! I’m sure it’s going to make delicious leftovers too. Thanks for sharing!
Miss AK says
We love the leftovers, too!
Mira B says
Looks like a great recipe! Will the 2x proportions fit in the instant pot?
Tessa says
This is super yummy! I ended up substituting 6 oz tomato paste with 12 oz of beef broth as I didn’t have diced tomatoes on hand. I also did a little more carrots as I didn’t have enough potato. Wow, is this flavorful and tasty! Even my 5 year old loves it! We used elk and we will definitely be making this again!
Miss AK says
I’m so glad you all enjoyed! Elk is so delish
Rich Cramp says
Best venison recipe, I’ve ever tried. Whole household loves it.
Miss AK says
Thank you so much, Rich. Glad it’s a hit!
Ryan Boland says
Wow this job is perfect!! I was unsure about the cooking time and thought it sounded too long but I followed the recipe and it was great!! I used the version stack and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. thanks for sharing this recipe…..
Elizabeth A says
I just discovered this recipe and am making it now. I like the format of the recipe and it’s easy to follow. I only hope I didn’t mess it up too bad. I just realized I used salted beef broth instead of unsalted.
Bernice Doucet says
This recipe is fantastic. I have tried it with both venison and moose. It turns out amazing every time I make it. It is my go to recipe for any wild game I have on hand! My husband hunts every year so I always have moose and deer. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
Miss AK says
Of course! Thank you for giving it a try! If you have a lot of meat on hand, check out my cookbook, Venison Every Day!
Angela Walker says
Sometimes adding aubergine adds an extra texture. Kallo stock cube too. Yummy 😋
Julie says
Found this yesterday and had to try it! Hands down the best deer stew ever!! Thank you so much!!
Jill says
Looking forward to trying this recipe. How does it freeze with the potatoes?
Miss AK says
We don’t have any issues freezing it with the potatoes!
Cherise Norris says
I’ve been making this recipe for a couple years and it’s so good! I usually substitute half the broth with red wine and I double the amount of seasoning. Always a crowd pleaser!
Miss AK says
Aw thank YOU for the comment!!! 🙂
Courtney R says
This was the best stew I’ve had in a long time. Typically it’s Hard to excited about venison stew, but this recipe has me wanting to make this every week and my husband went back for seconds. So so good!!
Miss AK says
Aw, thank YOU Courtney!
Marina says
Had to make a few modifications, but the stew turned out so, so good. I didn’t have any celery, so added a green bell pepper and jalapeno. Also didn’t have herbs de provence or italian seasoning, so just used oregano. Had homemade venison bone broth, which I used for this. And I love the ease of making it in the instant pot!!
Jenny K. says
Wow! This recipe is so amazing! I have never been a huge fan of venison, but since I now have a freezer full of it (thanks to my husband!), I figured I’d better start trying new recipes. This was so delicious, and the meat was so tender and not gamey at all! I liked it so much that I just ordered your venison cookbook. Now I can’t wait for it to arrive so I can try more of your delicious recipes! Thank you!!
Jan says
Oh my, this was good! I’m new to pressure cooking and had heard that instant pots make a great stew. This recipe was AMAZING. We doubled the recipe. Cut up the venison and tenderized it for a few hours in a cup or so of red wine, so weren’t able to sauté it as it was too wet. Reduced the amount of stock by quite a bit but it was still “soupy” once all cooked up. Never mind, it made the best “stoup” we’ve had in a long time. We couldn’t stop eating it! Thanks so much for a great recipe!
Claudia says
can I use bear meat for this recipe? Any modifications like longer cook time?
Julia says
4 cups of stock is way too much liquid for pressure cooking – we got a soup ( a good one though), not a stew. Had to sear for almost 20 minutes to get extra liquid out. Perhaps it should be 1 cup, not 4??
Miss AK says
Hi Julia – I have not had this happen before, how much stew meat did you use?
Susanna says
This was fantastic! I used canned potatoes, and frozen chopped up onions, celery, and carrots. Delish! I used chili size ground venison. I made it for company, who asked for the recipe! Next time I’m trying your shepherds pie!
Miss AK says
YUM! So glad everyone loved this recipe, Susanna!
Gary Villers says
Dear Miss Allie, have tried your deer chop, chili and now going to make your stew. Im a country boy born and bred. If you hunted you ate what you harvested and were grateful to be able to put meat on the table. Everything from squirrel to geese. Even groundhog. I like the simplicity of your recipes and different versions for dutch oven, pan, crockpot and instapot. All simple ingredients. The simpler the better. Great recipes. Thank you Gary Villers
PMR says
Fantastic recipe. I made it exactly as directed and it came out great. I will add some other vegetables next time just to add some balance.
Gregory Wirtel says
I made this twice. The first time, I didn’t have the herbs de Provence, and my wife doesn’t like Italian spice mix, so I used McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning. It was excellent. The second time is used venison hamburger and herbs de Provence. It was also excellent. I don’t know if one was better than the other, but this recipe is really great.
Bill says
This is the third time I made this stew with venison. Very good I say but I did a little changeup in the last time I made the stew, added some green olives, and the stew taste was another exciting way to eat Venison.
Anna Hollinger says
I am not painting my nails as I wait… I’m painting my dining room table! Can’t wait to eat this and hoping for a grand turn out and a grand happy hubby too! Lol! 🤣 I am in need of a good venison recipe that turns out good!!
