slow cooker venison and vegetables with gravy

Recipe by

This is our favorite way to cook venison steaks or roasts. The meat is so tender that it falls apart, and there is no gamey flavor at all. The gravy is so delicious, you just might want to lick the plate! We prefer to use Yukon gold potatoes because they hold together well, and their texture is creamy and smooth. Don't skimp on the carrots; parsnips may be added also if you like.
