Note

Soaking the meat overnight in cold water is crucial for game meats like moose to improve flavor and texture.

If moose is unavailable, venison or lean beef chuck can be substituted with similar results.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

For a richer gravy, you may reduce the liquid on the stovetop after removing the meat from the oven before thickening.
