Preparation:
1. Heat olive oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the Highland Farm venison stew meat and 5 cloves of minced garlic and saute. Add salt and pepper as required for flavoring. Sear the outside of the meat and set aside.
2. In the slow cooker, add the following: Guinness, red wine, beef broth, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, bay leaves, brown sugar, salt and pepper, pinch of cayenne pepper. Stir well.
3. Add the meat and garlic from frying pan to the slow cooker.
