This recipe was given to me by Michael Foley, owner and WONDERFUL chef
of "Foley's Printers Row" in Chicago. A friend had given me a 8#
venison roast that I wanted to make as a side dish for Christmas dinner
so my guests could taste venison. It turned out great... I, and my
guests, were pleased!
(approx 8 lb roast)
1 medium carrot
1 medium onion
1 rib of celery
dice to about 1 inch
1 tablespoon juniper berries
1 teaspoon rosemary
4 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon thyme
5 cups red wine
3 cups red wine vinegar
(if this is a wild roast and not purchased from a game farm, add
1/4 cup olive oil)
Combine the above and bring to a boil; take off heat and let come to
ROOM TEMPERATURE. This marinade should not be hot or cold in
temperature but just lukewarm. Place the roast in the marinade using a
container just slightly bigger than the roast; cover the roast with
plastic and put a weight on top - the roast should be submerged in the
marinade. Marinate for two days in refrigerator.
After two days....
Drain roast for at least an hour (Reserve remaining marinade for sauce)
Sprinkle roast with fresh cracked black pepper and brown in pan on top
of the stove.
Roast at 350 degrees until meat thermometer reaches 115 deg. - this
will be rare. Let rest 35-40 min. and slice very thin.
You can remove the vegetables from marinade and use some of it to baste
the venison while it is roasting. Use the rest as a sauce.
Sauce
Boil marinade until reduced to 1 cup. In the meantime, cut 1 lb of
butter into 1 tablespoon sized pieces. After the marinade is reduced,
add the soft (NOT MELTED) butter a piece at a time, wisking vigorously
after each addition. If you have some currant jelly, wisk in about 1
tablespoon at the very end. You will have a wonderful rich buttery
sauce to serve over the venison.
I followed these directions "to the letter" and the roast was great.
As usual, the kind of wine and vinegar usual makes a difference.
Enjoy!
