This Venison Stir Fry is loaded with crisp tender veggies and seared slices of lean venison steak tossed in a bold, sweet and savory sauce. It's a quick and healthy dinner that's perfect for busy nights or when you want to bring something new to the table.
I've always loved how wild game recipes bring a rich, hearty flavor to the table. This stir fry recipe is one I especially enjoy when fresh peppers and broccoli are in season, just like I do when making my Air Fryer Chicken and Broccoli!

Why You'll Love Venison Stir Fry
Quick and Easy: Perfect for weeknights, ready in under 30 minutes.
Healthy and colorful: Full of fresh, garden vegetables and lean protein.
Packed with flavor: Savory, sweet, and a touch of spice all in one bite.
Key Ingredients
Venison steak: Lean and flavorful, best when sliced thin for quick cooking.
Coconut aminos: A soy-free option that adds umami and slight sweetness.
Golden monk fruit or brown sugar: For a hint of sweetness. Use the monk fruit if keeping it low carb.
Broccoli florets: Adds crunch and fiber to the dish.
Jalapeno & red bell pepper. Bring both heat and sweetness.
Fresh garlic and ginger: These aromatics add depth and zing to the stir fry.
Sesame oil: Gives the dish a warm, nutty finish.
Ingredient Substitutions
- Soy sauce for coconut aminos if not avoiding soy.
- Maple syrup or brown sugar in place of monk fruit, if carbs aren't a concern.
- Green bell pepper instead of jalapeno for a mider, sweeter stir fry.
Variations
- Add noodles: toss in zucchini noodles for low carb, or chickpea spaghetti for more fiber and protein.
- Spicy peanut sauce: Add 1 tablespoon peanut butter to the sauce for a Thai-inspired version.
- Extra veggies: Try mushrooms, snow peas, or baby corn.
Top Tips
Slice meat thin: Use a sharp knife and cut venison against the grain while still slightly frozen.
Cook in batches: This ensures a good sear instead of steaming the meat.
Clean broccoli properly: Soak florets in cold salted water to remove any hidden bugs.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet until warmed through. Freeze cooked stir fry for up to 2 months.
Serve With...
Serve over cauliflower fried rice for a complete low carb meal or spoon it alongside mashed cauliflower. It also pairs well with air fryer egg rolls or a side of keto roasted radishes.
