Roasted Venison with Fresh Cranberry Sauce image

There's so much more to venison than tenderloins or burger. Many people don't realize that venison can be roasted successfully without making it tough or leathery; the key is to provide some of the fat that this extra-lean meat doesn't usually contain, and to sear the meat first before following it up with a slow roast at lower heat. I hope you enjoy it.

Time 2h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 (8 pound) bone-in venison roast
1 pinch kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup butter
2 ½ cups finely chopped onion, divided
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 ½ teaspoons dried sage
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil
2 cups fresh orange juice
6 ounces fresh cranberries
3 cups beef stock
½ cup red currant jelly
¼ cup dry sherry (such as Oloroso)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spread garlic all over venison roast, season with salt and pepper, and place in a roasting pan.
  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook and stir 1/2 cup onion, cilantro, sage, and basil until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Spread the butter mixture evenly over the roast.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Add remaining 2 cups onion, orange juice, and cranberries to the roasting pan; reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Continue to roast, basting frequently, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 140 degrees F for medium rare, about 1 hour. Remove the roast from the pan; cover to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
  • Pour beef stock into the roasting pan, and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Continue boiling until the liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Skim off any fat; stir in the jelly and sherry. Continue to boil until the sauce is slightly thickened and evenly coats the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

This dish was a disappointment. The venison was dry and overcooked, and the cranberry sauce was too tart.
