VENISON WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY ROAST
After growing up in a hunting heritage type of family, this recipe was adopted as a family favorite. While just about any cut of venison can be utilized, I usually choose the tenderloin, as that is easily the tastiest, and most desired piece of venison ever available. This is an easy dish as there are no special seasoning or marinating steps required. This recipe is for the natural venison lover! This dish can be served alone, or accompanied with sides of wild rice, potatoes of any kind (including mashed utilizing some of the already available gravy, baked, twice baked, or hash browns), corn, green beans, or anything else you would like. This is a very accommodating recipe that goes well with just about anything. You can dress this meal up for special occasions, or simply make this an everyday family affair. This dish will fit well into whatever type of event you would like, depending on what else accompanies it, and how it is presented. It is truly a great American heritage type of dish! Enjoy, and try to stay out of the way from those who will certainly be diving in for a refill of this dish (at the very least, they will want the recipe for it)!!

Steps:
- Pan fry the venison (slowly with a low flame) in a lightly buttered pan until well browned. (I thoroughly cook my venison, and apply butter coatings to top sides to prevent drying the meat as it cooks. However, you can cook to your own preferences -- keep in mind this is a wild dish, hence my thorough initial cooking).
- Add 1 tablespoons butter to separate pan to sauté following 4 ingredients (yellow onions through mushrooms). Sauté yellow onions in pan first, this will allow caramelization, and a full rich flavour of onions. After onions become tender, add the green pepper, red pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté all ingredients above until tender, and onions are slightly caramelized. Add 1/4 cup chopped green onions to sauté pan and simmer 1-2 more minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- After all ingredients are sautéed, remove from heat and place 1/2 evenly into a casserole dish creating a layer across the bottom of the dish. After tenderloins are cooked, remove from pan, and place on top of the bed of sautéed vegetables. Cover tenderloin with the remaining sautéed vegetables. Finally cover everything evenly with 2 cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup. The soups will create a wonderful gravy as it is cooked in the oven. Cover casserole dish with foil, and place into preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes, or until gravy is slightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven when finished and garnish with remaining 1/4 cup chopped green onions. Serve immediately to awaiting guests and family members!
ALL DAY VENISON POT ROAST
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.

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.

Tips:
- Choosing venison cuts: Opt for roasts or steaks from the tenderloin, strip loin, or backstrap for a premium dining experience. Less tender cuts like the shoulder or shank benefit from slow-cooking methods like braising or stewing.
- Prepping venison: Remove any silverskin or connective tissues from the meat for a more tender result. Soaking venison in a saltwater solution for several hours before cooking can help reduce gaminess.
- Seasoning venison: Generously season the meat with salt, pepper, and your preferred seasonings before cooking. Common flavorings for venison include garlic, onion, rosemary, thyme, and juniper berries.
- Cooking venison: Venison cooks quickly due to its lean nature. Be cautious not to overcook it, as this can make the meat tough. Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal temperatures: 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare, 140-145°F (60-63°C) for medium, and 150-155°F (66-68°C) for medium-well.
- Pairing venison with mushroom gravy: Mushroom gravy is a classic accompaniment to venison, adding richness and depth of flavor. Use a variety of mushrooms like cremini, shiitake, or porcini for a more complex taste experience.
Conclusion:
Venison is a delicious and versatile meat that can be prepared using various cooking techniques. With its lean nature and robust flavor, venison pairs well with bold seasonings and rich sauces like mushroom gravy. Whether roasted, grilled, or braised, venison offers a unique and satisfying culinary experience. Remember to choose high-quality cuts, prepare the meat properly, and cook it to the desired doneness to fully appreciate the exceptional taste of venison.
