Slow Cooker Deer Roast with Herb Gravy

This recipe creates a flavorful and tender deer roast with a delicious gravy, perfect for a comforting meal.

Ingredients:

• 3-4 pound boneless deer roast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1/4 cup red wine (optional)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water

Instructions:

1. Sear the roast (optional): Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the deer roast with salt and pepper. Sear the roast on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side to brown. This step adds flavor but is not essential.
2. Transfer to slow cooker: Add the sliced onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the seared deer roast (or directly add it if not searing) on top of the vegetables.
3. Pour in liquids: In a small bowl, whisk together beef broth and red wine (if using). Pour the mixture over the roast in the slow cooker.
4. Cook on low: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the roast is very tender and falling apart when pierced with a fork.
5. Make the gravy (optional): In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water to form a slurry. Remove the roast from the slow cooker and set aside. Increase the slow cooker heat to high. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry until the gravy thickens slightly.
6. Serve: Shred the deer roast with two forks and serve with the gravy, vegetables from the slow cooker, and your favorite sides.

Tips:

• You can add other vegetables to the slow cooker with the roast, such as potatoes, carrots, or celery.
• If the gravy is too thin, you can add additional cornstarch slurry or cook it on high for a few minutes longer, whisking constantly.
• If you don’t have red wine, you can substitute it with an additional cup of beef broth.
• Be sure to check the internal temperature of the roast with a meat thermometer before serving. The internal temperature should reach 160°F for medium-rare or 165°F for well-done.

Enjoy your delicious slow cooker deer roast!
