Oven Roast Venison With Veggies

 

 

Even though this is a basic recipe, it’s really tasty. And having just one pot to clean makes it all the nicer. You’ll need…

  • 3 pounds of venison roast or steak
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 medium onions
  • 6 peeled carrots
  • 4 peeled (or not) potatoes
  • 4 ribs celery
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 can (2 cups) of beef broth

 

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Season the venison with the salt and pepper, and coat it with flour. Heat a large ovenproof pan or dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the oil, and brown the venison roast on all sides. Remove the pan from the heat.

Chop all of the veggies into one inch pieces and place over the venison. Combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth, and pour into the pan. Cover the pan and place into the oven.

Bake the roast venison and veggies for three and one-half hours, or until the roast is tender. This recipe makes a fine meal for a cold, wintry day. Enjoy!

Grilled Venison Backstrap

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds venison backstrap, cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 1 quart apple cider
  • 1 1/2 pounds thick sliced bacon
  • 2 (12 ounce) bottles barbecue sauce, your choice

Directions

  1. Place chunks of venison into a shallow baking dish, and pour enough apple cider in to cover them. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours. Remove, and pat dry. Discard apple cider, and return venison to the dish. Pour barbeque sauce over the chunks, cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 more hours.
  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Charcoal is best, but if you must, use gas. Remove meat from the refrigerator, and let stand for 30 minutes, or until no longer chilled. Wrap each chunk of venison in a slice of bacon, and secure with toothpicks.
  3. Brush the grill grate with olive oil when hot, and place venison pieces on the grill so they are not touching. The bacon will kick up some flames, so be ready. Grill, turning occasionally, until the bacon becomes slightly burnt, 15 to 20 minutes. The slower, the better. Dig in, and prepare to want more!
