- Venison Roast
- =============
- (approx. 8# roast)
-
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 medium onion dice these to about 1"
- 1 rib of celery
-
- 1 tablespoon juniper berries
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
-
- 5 cups red wine
- 2 cups red wine vinegar
-
- (if this is a wild roast and not from a game farm, add 1/4 cup olive oil
-
- Combine the above and bring to a boil; take off heat and let come to
- ROOM TEMPERATURE. This marinade should not be hot or cold in temperature
- but lukewarm. Place the roast in the marinade using a container just
- slightly bigger than the roast; cover the roast with plastic and put a
- weight on top - the roast should be submerged in the marinade.
- Marinate for two days in the refrigerator.
- ....................
- after two days..
- Drain roast for at least an hour and reserve remaining marinade for sauce
-
- Sprinkle with fresh cracked black pepper and brown on top of stove.
-
- Roast at 350 degrees until meat thermometer reaches 115 degrees. This
- will be rare. Let rest 35-40 minutes and slice very thin.
- ---------------
- You can remove the vegetables from marinade and use some of it to
- baste the venison while it is roasting. Use the rest of it as a sauce.
- ------------------------
-
- Sauce:
-
- Boil marinade until reduced to one cup. In the meantime, cut 1 lb
- of butter into 1 tablespoon sized pieces. After the marinade is
- reduced, add the soft (not melted) butter a piece at a time,
- wisking vigorously after each addition. If you have some
- currant jelly, wisk in about 1 tablespoon at the very end. You will
- have a wonderful rich buttery sauce to serve over the venison.
