ROE DEER GOULASH
I wanted to make this dish again for a long time. However it is not ordinary dish that you will do after you get back from work. You need time for this and, most importantly, you need quality roe deer meat and planning ahead.
This time I made this dish on Easter for my family. Day before I made brine for tenderizing the meat. Meat was resting in the brine overnight. If you have young roe deer’s meat, 12 hours will be enough. If you have older meat then even 2-3 days before you can make the brine and leave meat in it to tenderize.
After 12 hourse of soaking in brine it is time to start preparation for goulash. First of all separate meat, vegetables and brine. Now we can start preparing this delicious dish. For this dish I made detailed instructions and recipe video so that you can make it perfect, every time. Enjoy.

Directions
- PREPARE BRINE AND MEAT DAY BEFORE.
- To tenderize roe deer meat you should prepare brine and leave the meat at least 12 hours in it and refrigerate.
Clean and peal carrots, celery root, parsley root, onions, and garlic. Chop it on larger pieces and place in the pot. Add salt, pepper in grain, rosemary branch, bay leaves, aceto balsamico and water. - Place the pot on the stove, when water boils cook for 10 minutes and then set it aside to completely cool of. Prepare the meat.
- Cut roe deer meat on similar size pieces. I cut them into 1×1 inch cubes. You can cut it in larger pieces.
- After brine is completely cooled off, place the meat in it and leave it in refrigerator for at least 12 hours. If you have meat of older deer or other venison meat, then you can leave it even for 2-3 days in brine to tenderize completely.
- After 12 hours in refrigerator, separate meat, vegetables and brine. Brine leave for later.
