Bottled Gamies Recipe

Marinate the Game Meat

In a large bowl, combine the game meat with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the meat is evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.

Sear the Meat

Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the marinated game meat and sear on all sides until browned (about 5-7 minutes).

Deglaze the Pan

Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Allow the wine to simmer for about 3-5 minutes.

Add Stock

Pour in the beef or game stock, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and fully cooked.

Prepare the Jars

While the game meat is cooking, prepare your sterilized glass jars. Make sure they are completely dry and ready for filling.

Fill Jars with Game

Once the meat is tender, use tongs to carefully transfer the game meat into the sterilized jars. Pour the cooking liquid over the meat, ensuring it is submerged.

Seal the Jars

Cover the jars with wax paper or lids. Ensure they are tightly sealed to avoid any air exposure.

Cooling and Storage

Allow the jars to cool to room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to 2 weeks.
