Ingredients

  • 10 cloves garlic pureed
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 pound venison roast
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 10 juniper berries crushed (optional)
  • salt to taste
  • 3 carrots chopped
  • 3 potatoes chopped
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 1 onion chopped

Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Directions

  • In a small bowl, mix the garlic, olive oil, and black pepper. Place in a sealable plastic bag or airtight container with the venison roast, rosemary, and crushed juniper berries. Marinate overnight, if possible. 
  • Prior to cooking, let the marinated venison sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Remove the roast from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and salt to taste. 
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
  • In a hot, Dutch oven, sear all sides of the roast. Add the marinade back to the pan, cover, and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. 
  • Remove the cover and turn the roast over. Add the vegetables and continue to bake, uncovered, for 45 to 55 more minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the roast reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) on a meat thermometer. 
  • Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing.
