"You can source Maine-raised Venison from Ash Hill View Deer Farm in Carmel, Maine. We love adding SKORDO Ras el Hanout blend to add warmth and spice."
Ingredients:
- 1 lb venison roast, cut into serving pieces
- 2 Tbsp. SKORDO Ras el Hanout
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tbsp thyme
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 onion, quartered
- 4 celery stalks, chopped
- 5 carrots, sliced
- 1 c beef stock
- Heat oven to 300 F degrees.
- Rub the roast with SKORDO Ras el Hanout. Heat 1 tsp of oil over high heat. Salt and pepper the venison and sear on all sides until deep brown in a large cast-iron skillet, or Dutch oven. Remove the meat from the pan.
- Add another teaspoon of oil to the pan and add the veggies. Saute over high heat until the onions are golden, 3-5 min.
- Add the beef broth into the pan, stirring to loosen all of the fond in the bottom of the pan.
- Return your meat to the pan with the beef broth and vegetables. Cover the skillet or Dutch oven and place it in the oven for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender.
- When the meat is tender, remove your pan from the oven. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
