i use my favourite beef stew/casserole recipe.
Onion, red wine, mushrooms if I can and a couple of rashers of bacon, can add carrots, garlic, ginger, celery, also add stock, salt and pepper.
To be honest I really just throw whatever into my casserole dish and season to taste. But if you have some red wine do add it, it does make a difference IMO

I do the same as cgvl works well every time remember to brown the meat first and it will be delicious. Also nothing is compulsory as long as you like it it goes in.

Venison stroganov works well too.

My recipe is along the same lines as above ...
brown venison & onions, add to casserole dish along with garlic, bay leaves, horopito (NZ bush pepper), salt, mushrooms & red wine. Cook nice and slow (around 150C for 3hrs ... ish).
I thicken with cornflour before serving.

Likewise but with tomato paste and a tin of tomatoes

Very similar to most of the above, coat with cornflour and brown in oil or butter, then cook onions and garlic, halved button mushrooms or sliced portobello mushrooms, put venison back in pan, splash with red wine and cook for a few minutes, then add a tin of crushed tomatoes, a few tablespoons of tomato paste and a teaspoon of Juniper berries.Slow cook until venison is tender and sauce is reduced. Add salt and ground black pepper if you think it needs it.

I've cooked a lot of venison stews, and similar to the above suggestions, brown the meat with a bit of flour, cook in a Crockpot on low all day with Stoganov (I use a dry power sachet), onion, potato, mushrooms, red wine and tomato.
Mushrooms are the mostimportant ingredient to add.
