Ingredients
- 2–3 pounds venison roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 cups beef broth (gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder (for thickening, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Season the venison roast generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Sear the venison roast on all sides until browned. Remove the venison from the pot and set aside.
- Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Add the tomato paste and stir it into the vegetables.
- Pour in the gluten-free beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Return the venison roast to the pot. The liquid should come about halfway up the sides of the roast. Add more broth if needed.
- Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the pot tightly with a lid.
- Transfer the pot to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 3-4 hours, or until the venison is fork-tender.
- Remove the venison from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk together cornstarch or arrowroot powder with a little cold water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the simmering liquid in the pot until thickened.
- Shred or slice the venison and serve with the vegetables and sauce.
Notes
- You can add other root vegetables like potatoes or parsnips along with the carrots and celery.
- For a dairy-free option, ensure your broth is dairy-free.
- This recipe can also be made in a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
