Roasted Venison Recipe

This roasted venison recipe is a must-have during every game season! This recipe uses deer meat. However, you can use other venison meats as well. My family loves deer meat the most because deer meat is really tender and mild in flavour. On top of that, venison is not always available, which makes this dish even more special.
Yield: 4 people

Ingredients you need

  • ¼ Knob Celery
  • 2 Carrots
  • ½ Leek
  • 1 bunch of fresh parsley 
  • 1 Onion
  • 500 g  Venison Deer Meat or Stag meat
  • 30 g Butter
  • 250 ml Red wine
  • 250 ml Beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Ground black pepper

Directions

  • Firstly, chop vegetables into large chunks and remove any white parts (tendons) on the meat. Season venison meat on both sides with some salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 160 °C.
  • Next, melt butter in a large pan on high heat. I usually use my trusty oven-proof pan with a lid in this case because I know that I would need to roast this dish in the oven later on. If you do not have an oven-safe pan, just cook the ingredients in a normal frying pan and transfer everything into an oven pan afterwards.
  • Thereafter, cook the venison meat on high heat and add in vegetables. After a few minutes, when one side of the venison meat becomes brown, turn the meat over to the other side for another few minutes until it becomes brown as well.

  • Pour in red wine and beef broth into the pan. After which, season the dish with sugar, salt and pepper.
  • Once the liquid starts boiling, cover the pan with a lid and transfer the pan to oven for about 15 minutes. If you do not have an oven-proof pan, simply transfer everything into an oven-safe dish and cover it with an aluminium foil. You can roast the venison meat for less than 15 minutes, if you prefer a rawer meat.

  • Take out the meat from the pan and cut them into 1-1.5 cm slices. Serve the meat with a delicious brown sauce and some lingonberry sauce (recipes coming soon). On top of that, this dish goes well with some homemade German Spätzle and traditional German red cabbage as side dishes.
