Instructions

Marinate the venison:

  • Put marinade ingredients (wine, vinegar, water, peppercorns, juniper, mustard, cloves, bay leaves, thyme, celery, carrots and onion) in a pot and bring to a boil.

  • Turn off heat and allow the marinade to cool.

  • Submerge the venison in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, and up to 5 days. Three days is the ideal length of time.

  • When you are ready to cook, remove the roast from the marinade and sprinkle it all over with salt. Set it aside for 15-20 minutes or so.

Prepare the venison:

  • Preheat the oven to 275°F.

  • Pour the marinade into a Dutch oven or other lidded, oven-proof pot and bring it to a boil. Add the venison to the pot. Cover and put in the oven. The roast should take about 5 hours to cook.
  • When the roast is completely tender, take it out of the pot and coat it with some of the 1/4 cup olive oil or melted butter. Reserve the rest of the oil or butter for later. Wrap it in foil.
  • When ready to eat, shred roast and add remaining oil or butter to the meat. Serve with the Beet Red Kraut and side of your choice.

  • Enjoy!

Notes

Serve with a generous amount of sauce, some braised onions, mashed potatoes, cheesy broccoli or cauliflower, and your favorite Cleveland Kitchen Kraut!
