Kill a deer. Any deer should do, in this case it's a blacktail.

take a chunk of it's hind end, and make a marinade with some garlic, thyme, rosemary, parsley, sea salt, fresh pepper, olive oil and balsamic vinegar

Chop up the herbs and garlic, and add the vinegar an oil. Or put it all int he food processor and mulch up.

Chuck the roast in the marinade, and smear the paste all over it. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it sit for a few hours or overnight.

Time for some veggies. Mark, just ignore this part.

Get some carrot, turnip, celery root,potatoes, and fresh herbs.

Peel the veggies (except potatoes) and cut into chunks. Toss with olive oil, loosely cover with foil and roast for about 40 minutes in a hot oven, stirring every now and then. Meanwhile, chop up the herbs. Remove foil, toss in herbs and S&P and backinto the over, Make sure they are getting nice and caramelized

Potatoes can be cooked however you like. I made these by putitng a little olive oil in the pan and adding some venison stock, the stock simmers away int he oven, the potatoes get browned, and you use the remaining stock to make a sauce

ROast the deer in the oven, size of roast will determine time. See how all the marinade turns into a nice tasty crust on the roast!

Make sure you let it rest minimum of 20 minutes before carving

Take the pan drippings and pour into a pot with stock form potatoes. Make a sauce from it. You can make a gravy or in this case I jsut finished it with butter to make a smooth sauce with the herbs from marinade.

Throw it all on a plate and chow down!:mrgreen:

You may prove useful around "elk camp" one day soon, of coarse the first 10 or 15 years you just get to cook and provide "camp counseling" hunters tend to be hungry and argue a lot:roll: the meal looks great :-D

Wow thats alot of garnish for 1 plate! Looks like you dropped a spruce twig in there too, make sure you shake yourself off after your next hike! Do people really require that much visual stimulation to enjoy a roast???

Resting it allows the muscle/meat fibers to relax after they got all tense under that extreme 450 broiler. Thus they become a perfectly tender Blacktail roast you cut with a butter knife.

Gateholio

ALL meat should be rested. Depending on the size of the cut, it is a quick 7 minute rest for a steak, 20-25 minutes for a roast chicken or small roast or 35 minutes for a big prime rib. THis allows the juices to flow back into the exterior parts of the meat.

Best way to rest is in a warm place, on top of a rack, under foil. (Put a plate under the rack)
Top of the oven or a 100 degree oven is ideal.

I see you use extra virgin olive oil...must have got it from PGK.

Looks delicious Clarke, when I win the $33 million tomorrow I'm hiring you as my personal chef - could you handle 3 or 4 months a year in hunting camp?
