MOM BENNETT'S VENISON GRAVY

My ex-mother-in-law made this. It's great over mashed potatoes and something you can do with that deer that someone brought home. See Beachgirl's recipe #53234 for canned venison. You can pressure cook the venison for 90 minutes to get the same consistency of the meat.

This breakfast is sweet and salty all in one.

Provided by Kristian

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Game Meats     Venison

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup self-rising flour
½ tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
¾ cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 pound boneless venison steak, cubed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon maple syrup
¼ cup all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • To make biscuits, mix the self-rising flour and sugar together in a bowl, and stir in the melted butter and 3/4 cup of milk. Knead the dough very lightly for 5 to 7 times, until it barely hangs together, and roll out to 1/2 inch thick on a floured surface. Cut biscuits with a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass dipped in flour.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and place the deer meat into the hot butter. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper, and pan-fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the meat to a platter.
  • Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits off of the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Stir in 1 cup of milk and the maple syrup, and whisk in all-purpose flour until smooth. Bring the gravy back to a simmer, add salt and pepper to taste, and allow to thicken, whisking to avoid lumps. Return the deer meat to the gravy, and simmer until the gravy is thick, 5-10 minutes. Serve over biscuits.

VENISON POT ROAST AND GRAVY



Venison Pot Roast and Gravy image

This is my favorite way to prepare a venison roast, it's quick and easy, and even works with the not-so-tender cuts.

Provided by Ron

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Game Meats     Venison

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).
  • Season the venison with garlic, grill seasoning, and chili powder. Place into a casserole dish, and pour in the beef broth. Cover the dish with a lid, and bake in preheated oven until the venison is tender, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter begins to bubble, whisk in the flour. Cook while whisking constantly until the flour turns a golden yellow, and the bubbling slows, about 10 minutes.
  • When the venison has finished cooking, whisk 1 1/2 cups of the broth from the venison roast into the flour roux, and simmer for 15 minutes, whisking frequently. Add the venison to the gravy and serve.

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the venison. It should be cooked to a medium-rare or medium doneness to ensure it remains tender and juicy.
  • Use a good quality red wine for the gravy. A full-bodied wine with a deep flavor, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will add richness and depth to the sauce.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. A bay leaf, a few sprigs of thyme, or a pinch of rosemary can add a lot of flavor to the gravy.
  • If you don't have any venison drippings, you can use beef or chicken drippings instead.
  • Be patient. The gravy will take some time to simmer and develop its flavor. Don't rush the process.

Conclusion:

Mom Bennett's venison gravy is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be served with a variety of dishes. It's perfect for a special occasion dinner or a casual weeknight meal. With its rich, flavorful taste, this gravy is sure to become a family favorite.
