-----
In a Dutch oven, brown meat on all sides in hot oil. Drain fat. Stir
in tomato juice, onion, carrot, and bouillon granules. Bring to
boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours or till meat
is tender. Remove meat from pan.

For sauce, add enough water to pan juices and vegetables to equal 2
cups. Return mixture to pan. Stir flour into sour cream or yogurt.

Add to pan juices. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Cook and
stir one minute more. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Slice
venison thinly; spoon sauce over. Serve with noodles. Makes 8 servings.
