3. Working in batches, brown the cubed elk venison meat. Remove meat and set aside when done. Add the sausage links and brown on all sides. While cooking the sausage links, add the onions and garlic, being sure to stir often. Carefully add remaining ingredients to the pot along with the braised elk venison meat.
