Marinated Venison Roast

Ingredients:

• 1 venison roast (from the hind leg)
• Backwoods Mesquite or Hickory marinade
• 1 onion, peeled and quartered
• 4-6 peeled and quartered potatoes
• 1-2 cups baby carrots
• Cooking oil
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Water (enough to cover veggies)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Venison Roast:
• Take the venison roast and use a meat injector to inject the Backwoods Mesquite or Hickory marinade into the meat.
• Use about 1 ounce of marinade per pound of roast for optimal flavor infusion.
• After injecting, brush the top of the roast with cooking oil to help it cook evenly and create a nice crust.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
• In a roasting pan, surround the venison roast with quartered onion, peeled and quartered potatoes, and baby carrots.
• Generously season the vegetables with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor during cooking.
3. Add Liquid and Roast:
• Pour in enough water to almost cover the vegetables (you want the veggies to steam but not be completely submerged).
• Cover the roasting pan with a lid or aluminum foil to help lock in moisture.
4. Cooking:
• Preheat the oven to 250°F. Place the roasting pan in the oven and cook for several hours, checking occasionally. Roast until the venison reaches an internal temperature of 156°F (this should leave the roast slightly red in the center, giving it a nice medium-rare to medium finish).
• Do NOT overcook, as venison can become tough if cooked too long.
5. Rest and Serve:
• Once the venison roast reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
• Serve the venison roast with the roasted vegetables and enjoy!

Tips:

• The key to a perfect venison roast is not overcooking. The roast should still be tender and juicy, with the center remaining slightly red.
• If you like more flavor, consider adding a little extra marinade to the vegetables before roasting.

Enjoy this Marinated Venison Roast with perfectly roasted vegetables, a hearty and delicious meal that's full of flavor!
