All Day Venison Pot Roast image

My step-daughters always refused to eat venison, so we had to come up with creative ways to disguise it. This very tender and savory slow cooker pot roast always had them coming back for more. It wasn't until years later we revealed the truth of the roast's origins! Serve roast, vegetables and gravy over mashed potatoes.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound boneless venison roast, thinly sliced across the grain
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon grill seasoning
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 cups beef broth
¼ cup butter
¼ cup flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

INSTANT POT® VENISON POT ROAST



Instant Pot® Venison Pot Roast image

Venison pot roast used to be a weekend only thing for me due to the 10 hours of slow cooking it took to get it tender. Then there was the guess work of when to add the veggies. If you added them in the beginning, they became mush. If you waited too long to add them, they were underdone and to get them done, the venison got overdone. Instant Pot® to the rescue! The end result is perfectly tender venison roast and perfectly crisp-tender veggies, all in 3 hours.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best results, select a venison roast that is well-marbled with fat. This will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during the cooking process.
  • Sear the venison roast in a hot skillet before braising it. This will create a flavorful crust on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the braising liquid. This will add flavor and depth to the dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and potatoes.
  • Braising is done in a moist environment, and the ideal method is low and slow cooking. High temperatures can easily overcook the food. For larger chunks of meat, use the higher end of the temperature range, while for smaller or easily overcooked items, use the lower end of the range.
  • Let the venison roast rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Deconstructed venison pot roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
