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.

DREW'S VENISON STEAKS AND GRAVY
I've been making this comfort food forever, and it's DH's favorite. I especially like the creamy gravy over rice or mashed potatoes. If you want a stroganoff-like gravy, stir in 8 ounces of sour cream at the last minute, and serve over wide noodles!

Steps:
- 1. Soak Cleaned Hind Quarter in Sink of Cold Water, Quart of Vinegar, 1 cup of salt over night. Clean means no White Film or Grissel on meat just pure Red Meat please.
- 2. After Soaking 12 hours at least. Remove from water and drain,(you may want to change this water once) wash with cold water and drain again. Cut meat into 2 or 3 inch blocks Put meat blocks (one at a time) between or under an old towel. Beat both sides with meat tenderizer until flat, and about 3/4 inch thick. Put in bowl or bag with Marinade (see my recipe below) Let soak in marinade for about 6 hours or even over night.
- 3. Drain meat, but do not wash. In a large bowl of flour coat each piece of meat good (if you let sit in flour for a while it will be better) Cook in shortening (like a pork chop) Browning each side good. Salt and Pepper each side when cooking. In slow cooker, put about 2 inches of water and turn on high. After browning this meat lay into water in slow cooker. Cook another batch (do not burn shortening) add more if needed, but do not through away browned flour in pan. When you finish browning meat and it is in slow cooker, slice a large onion (cannot get to much onion) Also these slices may be nice and thick or they may go away. Depends on what you want.. In the same pan, add flour until all shortening has been soaked up. Brown this like a rue x, then add onion and some garlic minced (1 tablespoon) and slowly let onion and Garlic glaze over. Remember the darker the rue x the darker the gravy.
- 4. When onion has cooked some, cover everything in frying pan with water and bring to a slow boil stirring and dissolving mixture to a gravy like state. Pour this entire pan full of onions and gravy into meat in slow cooker. This now can be thinned a little with water, but it should be covered good. It will thicken as it cooks. You can adjust this gravy by adding water or letting it steam off without top. More than likely you will need more water once it starts to boil. Taste and stir gravy every now and then, adding salt and pepper, Worcestershire and Garlic to your taste. Problem with to thin? Just make more rue x and add.
- 5. Cook on medium slow cooker heat about 8 hours..it will be very tender. cut with a fork. Great over Creamed Potatoes.
- 6. Marinade 1 cup Worcestershire sauce 1/2 cup Montreal Seasoning 1/4 cup Garlic Powder (or several cloves garlic chopped) Optional (Teriaki Sauce)
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of venison: For this recipe, you'll want to use a cut of venison that is relatively tender, such as venison loin or backstrap. If you're using a tougher cut of venison, you may need to braise it or stew it instead of pan-frying it.
- Marinate the venison: Marinating the venison in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
- Sear the venison: Searing the venison in a hot skillet will help to seal in the juices and create a flavorful crust.
- Cook the venison to the desired doneness: Depending on your preference, you can cook the venison to rare, medium-rare, or medium.
- Make the gravy: The gravy is made with the pan drippings from the venison, beef broth, and red wine. You can also add some fresh herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, to the gravy for extra flavor.
- Serve the venison with your favorite sides: Some good options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
