Essential Ingredients for Venison Roast

• Your choice of venison, 2-5 lbs
• Olive oil
• All-purpose wild-game seasoning

Preparation Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. While the oven heats, coat the roast thoroughly with olive oil and your preferred wild-game spices. For a simpler approach, use a paste made of salt, pepper, minced garlic, and a touch of olive oil.

3. Place the roast in a Dutch oven or a shallow roasting pan and put it in the preheated oven. Cook for 5 minutes per pound for medium-rare, or 7 minutes per pound for medium doneness. After the cooking time, turn off the oven and do not open the door!

4. Allow the venison roast to rest in the warm oven for two hours. Once the time is up, remove the roast and slice it as thinly as possible.

Note: The key to this cooking method is patience; avoid opening the oven during the two-hour resting period. After the recommended cooking time, turn off the oven and step away. Opening the door will release heat, which is essential for continuing to cook the roast. For those concerned about overcooking, a remote temperature probe inserted into the center of the roast can indicate when it reaches the ideal temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
