Finally, add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and let them simmer with the lid off for about ⏱️ 10 minutes.

Optionally, if you want to thicken your broth, dissolve 2 tablespoons of flour in a little bit of water, then stir it into the stew to thicken the broth. You’ll want to make sure the flour is dissolved before adding to the pot or it will clump up!

Fish out your bay leaf then, serve the elk stew hot and enjoy!
