Ingredients

• 2 pounds Venison roast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

Pat the venison roast dry with paper towels. Season it evenly with salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the venison roast on all sides until it is nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Once seared, remove the roast from the pan and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt 2 tablespoons of butter.

Step 6

Add the chopped onion and cook until it is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 9

Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 10

Return the venison roast to the skillet, ensuring it is partially submerged in the liquid. Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid or foil.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the venison reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, or your desired level of doneness.

Step 12

Once cooked, remove the venison roast from the skillet and let it rest for 10 minutes, tented with foil.

Step 13

Meanwhile, place the skillet with the mushroom and broth mixture back on the stove over medium heat.

Step 14

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to form a slurry. Slowly add this to the skillet while stirring to thicken the gravy.

Step 15

Cook the mushroom gravy for 2-3 minutes until it coats the back of a spoon. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 16

Slice the rested venison roast and serve it with the mushroom gravy spooned over the top.

Step 17

Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if desired and enjoy your Venison with Mushroom Gravy Roast!
