Deer Roast with Potatoes and Carrots–meal 1
I love to cook up a big ol’ roast. You can easily get three meals out of a roast. Here is how.
First: Find a large roast. I used a deer roast that was approximately 10 pounds.
Second: Get some potatoes. I used a 5 lb bag of potatoes, yukon gold. I cut off any bad spots and eyes
but left the skin on the potatoes.
Third: Get some carrots. I normally use whole carrots and just cut off the tops and tails, but I didn’t
have any of those in the house so I used a 2 pound bag of baby carrots.
Now, since I use such a big roast and so many veggies, my roasts won’t fit in a crock pot anymore. I love to do roasts in the crock pot, but not when I’m planning many meals from one. So I have a big roaster pan that goes in my oven. I place the roast in the center and spread the carrots and potatoes around it. Now here’s the secret for deer. Get some italian salad dressing/marinade and pour a bunch of it on that deer roast. If I buy from the store I get the largest bottle and use it all! I also have a really good recipe for a homemade italian that I will post later. Cover the pan and place in the oven.
I put my roast in the oven at 7 in the morning and took it out at 1pm to eat lunch. A roast this size needs a goodly amount of time to cook. If it’s not done you can take the veggies out and cut the roast up some to get it to finish cooking a bit faster. I did not remember to take pictures of the raw food or even the food in the pan but I did get pictures of it out on my table looking delicious!

Thanks for the italian dressing tip. Deer is so gamey, but I hope this will help. I’ll try it out if we get a deer this hunting season!

I have to make my roasts in the crock pot, or else they end up terrible. I need to remember to throw in the potatoes and carrots like you did. Thanks for the reminder!

It is definitely the faster way for me. Unfortunately, with our family growing my crockpot needs to grow bigger too!

Ooh, I haven’t had deer meat in well over 15 years! I think it’s about time I hit up our hunting neighbors for some steaks — if I can talk the wifey into it that is (lol)

We LOVE deer meat. I think it’s best marinated, but a friend smokes his and I think we’re going to have to try that.

This definitely brings back memories from when I was younger. People often take for granted how delicious venison is.

Oh love it! Especially the steaks marinated and on the grill.
