Can someone PLEASE help me with a good stew recipe??

I have lots of antelope steak (my husband hunts). please don't freak out about the hunting - I never thought I could be with a hunter but I've come to accept it. Anyways, antelope steak is very lean, thinner than a beef steak, virtually no fat so it cooks very quickly and I don't want to dry it out. I prefer my meat medium rare and juicy, hate it well done.

I have onions, carrots, potatoes, garlic, red wine, lots of seasonings in the house, but I've never made a stew in my life. My hubby's been asking for antelope stew and I have 4 hours until he gets home. I have a crock pot as well as a large stew pot (is this called a dutch oven?) What can I do?? any tips for keeping the meat from drying out or overcooking also?

it really won't over cook if you cook it in liquid. it won't be medium rare or anything, it will be fully cooked but i think the longer it cooks the more tender it gets. i know with stew meat you have to cook it for about 3 hours for it to get tender. hope this helps

Try this recipe, I hope it helps...I would LOVE to try antelope....I bet it's terrific!!
