ROAST and VEGETABLES
Just wanted to let you know that the venison roast was a total success! My guests loved the meat, and it was such an easy task to prepare the roasts. I had fun!
Here's how I ended up cooking the venison:
I fried some bacon in a large roasting pan, and removed it when it was done, retaining the fat.
I seasoned the venison roasts with salt and pepper, then dredged them in flour.
I then braised the meat in the bacon fat until all sides were seared (about 2 minutes per side).
Then I added carrots, onions, juniper berries, and other seasonings to the pan, put the lid on,
and put the pan in a 285 degree oven for about 2 1/2 hours.
The meat and vegetables came out extremely tender and juicy. I let the meat sit about 20 minutes then sliced it and served it with the vegetables. It was so tender, it could be cut with a fork. The roasts carved very well, and the pan drippings made a wonderful gravy.
What a great success it was to serve this meal! Thanks again for your help and suggestions. I will certainly be ordering more venison from you in the future.
