Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups veal or beef stock, preferably homemade
2 dried bay leaves
1 bunch fresh thyme
3/4 cup ruby port wine
1 one-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup red-currant jam
4 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
4 tablespoons whole juniper berries
4 tablespoons dried rosemary
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons butter
2 (1 1/2 to 2 pounds each) racks venison, well trimmed
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries

Steps:

  • Combine stock, bay leaves, thyme, port, ginger, and jam in a large saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until stock has reduced to 1 cup, about 1 hour. Remove from heat, strain, and transfer to a clean small saucepan. Set aside.
  • Combine peppercorns, juniper berries, and rosemary in a spice grinder. Grind, allowing some texture to remain.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place a large roasting pan in the oven. Salt both sides of each rack well, and rub the ground spice mixture into the meat.
  • Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Place both racks in skillet, and brown each side, about 2 minutes per side, using tongs to maneuver racks in skillet. Transfer racks to the preheated roasting pan.
  • Roast venison 30 to 35 minutes for medium rare. Remove roasting pan from oven, and transfer meat to a cutting board to rest 15 minutes.
  • Return sauce to a boil. In a small bowl, combine remaining 2 teaspoons butter with flour; mix until a paste forms. Reduce heat, stir in cranberries; let simmer until berries are soft and sauce is glossy. Whisk in the butter mixture. Serve the red-currant-and-cranberry sauce with the venison.

Roasted Rack of Venison and Shallots with Dried-Cranberry Gravy image

Categories     Berry     Roast     Dried Fruit     Venison     Winter     Shallot     Gourmet

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

an 8- to 11 rib (3- to 4-pound) rack of venison, halved to form two 4- to 6-rib racks and any tough membranes trimmed
2 pounds shallots, trimmed and peeled
2 tablespoons vegetable oil plus additional for rubbing the venison
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon juniper berries (available in the spice section of supermarkets), crushed lightly
2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
1/3 cup dried cranberries (available at specialty foods shops)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a roasting pan large enough to hold the venison racks without crowding them, toss the shallots with 2 tablespoons of the oil and salt and pepper to taste and roast them in the middle of the oven, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden. Pat the venison dry, season it with salt and pepper, and rub it generously with the additional oil. Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat until it is hot and in it sear the venison on all sides. Push the shallots to the sides of the roasting pan, stand the venison racks in the middle of the pan, allowing the bones to rest together, and roast the mixture in the middle of the oven for 23 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 125°F., for rare meat. Transfer the racks with shallots to a platter and let them stand, covered loosely with foil, for 15 minutes. To the roasting pan add the broth, the wine, the water, and the juniper berries and simmer the mixture, scraping up the brown bits, for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve set over a small saucepan, whisk the cornstarch mixture, and add it to the saucepan with the cranberries, the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the gravy, whisking, for 5 minutes. Cut the venison into individual chops and serve it with the shallots and the gravy.

ROASTED VENISON WITH FRESH CRANBERRY SAUCE



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.

Categories     Venison Recipes

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.

Tips for Cooking Venison and Making Cranberry Sauce:

  • Choose a lean cut of venison for roasting, such as the loin or tenderloin.
  • Marinating the venison overnight in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Roast the venison in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes per pound, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare or 160°F for medium.
  • Let the venison rest for 10 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • To make the cranberry sauce, simply combine fresh cranberries, sugar, water, and orange zest in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Then, reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the roasted venison with the cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and your favorite roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Roasted venison is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this wild game meat. When cooked properly, venison is tender, flavorful, and low in fat. Cranberry sauce is a classic accompaniment to venison, and it's easy to make at home with fresh cranberries.
