How to Make Venison And Wild Rice Casserole

Dredge 1.5 lbs of cubed venison in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
Brown the venison in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven. Cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the skillet. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened.
Stir in 1 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped carrots, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add 1 cup of well-washed wild rice to the skillet. Pour the entire contents into a 2-quart casserole dish.
Cover the casserole and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 60-75 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the venison is cooked through, stirring twice during baking.
