Steps:
- Remove fat and silverskin from the meat. If the butcher has not already done so, cut or saw through the chine bone (backbone) between every other rib so the rack can be carved into serving portions when cooked. Combine wine, 2 tablespoons olive oil, soy sauce, pepper, garlic, and 1 tablespoon chopped herbs in a resealable plastic bag large enough to hold the meat. Add meat and refrigerate, turning occasionally--several hours for meat from a young animal, overnight or longer for meat from a mature animal. Preheat oven to 375° F. Remove rack from marinade and pat dry. Brush or rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Heat a heavy oven-proof skillet to very hot and sear the meat for several minutes (top and ends). Arrange rack so rib side is down, pat the remaining herbs onto the top and ends of the meat and roast 20 - 25 minutes, or to desired doneness. Check with an instant-read thermometer (125 = medium rare), or make a small cut into the meat. Do not overcook or the meat will be dry and tasteless. Remove from oven to a warmed platter and let rest for about 5 minutes to redistribute the internal juices. Carve into 2-ribs slices and serve.

ROASTED RACK OF VENISON AND SHALLOTS WITH DRIED-CRANBERRY GRAVY
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a roasting pan large enough to hold the venison racks without crowding them, toss the shallots with 2 tablespoons of the oil and salt and pepper to taste and roast them in the middle of the oven, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden. Pat the venison dry, season it with salt and pepper, and rub it generously with the additional oil. Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat until it is hot and in it sear the venison on all sides. Push the shallots to the sides of the roasting pan, stand the venison racks in the middle of the pan, allowing the bones to rest together, and roast the mixture in the middle of the oven for 23 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 125°F., for rare meat. Transfer the racks with shallots to a platter and let them stand, covered loosely with foil, for 15 minutes. To the roasting pan add the broth, the wine, the water, and the juniper berries and simmer the mixture, scraping up the brown bits, for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve set over a small saucepan, whisk the cornstarch mixture, and add it to the saucepan with the cranberries, the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the gravy, whisking, for 5 minutes. Cut the venison into individual chops and serve it with the shallots and the gravy.

ROAST RACK OF VENISON
Venison is a delicacy, virtually no fat content, and thanks to farm-raised deer, you don't have to wait for hunting season to enjoy. It is very expensive to purchase, but on special occasions, you are worth it. I have prepared this venison recipe for Christmas dinners, and for my birthday dinners several times. If you were to consider the cost of restaurant fare for a birthday dinner, venison purchase is not prohibitive; and after all that wine and champagne, you don't have to drive home. I came upon this recipe in the supplement of "Winter, 1988 issue of Toronto Life Epicure" in which was featured Season's Best Festive Menus, both simple and elaborate. it is the best supplement I have ever seen, and guard it jealously, with my collection of cook books and "found" recipes. Prep. time includes the marinating process. Serve venison with Recipe #63146, Recipe #63147, and Recipe #63148. Wine suggestion: an earthy red Rhone followed by champagne with dessert.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Lay the carrots, star anise and butter in a roasting tin. Sprinkle with a little flaky salt and roast for 30 mins. While the carrots cook, crush the juniper berries using a pestle and mortar, then add 1 tsp salt, the thyme and 4 tbsp rapeseed oil.
- Rub the mix all over the venison racks, then sear in a large, hot frying pan for 4 mins until they are evenly coloured all over. Lower the oven temperature to 60C/40C fan/gas 1/4, put the racks on top of the carrots, bone-side up, and roast for 2 hrs. At this low temperature an electric oven will be more accurate (if using gas, check regularly).
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. Fry the shallot in the remaining oil in a saucepan over a medium heat until softened. In a separate saucepan, reduce the stock to 300ml, then pour it over the shallot with the sloe gin. Bring to a simmer and reduce slightly. Stir in the blackberries in the final few mins to heat through, then serve.

MAPLE-ROASTED RACK OF VENISON
At a cabane à sucre, or sugar shack, a rough-hewn cabin for making syrup in Quebec, the syrup harvest is accompanied by a feast. The hourlong parade usually includes split-pea soup, pancakes, bacon and ham, pork rinds, omelets, eggs poached in syrup, baked beans, bread and pan drippings, pickled carrots and beets, maple-syrup pie and taffy - all washed down with an optional beer. This recipe comes from a feast held at the painter Marc Séguin's farm in Hemmingford, Quebec.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Season venison generously with salt and pepper, rub with a little olive oil and let rest at room temperature. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup, veal stock, thyme, bay leaf, peppercorns and garlic. Gently boil until reduced by half.
- Set a roasting pan over medium-high heat and add the butter. When hot, brown the rack on all sides, then transfer to a plate. Pour the maple-stock reduction into the roasting pan, scraping the brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Return the rack to the pan, meat-side up. Add the carrots and onions and season them with salt. Cook in the oven for 10 minutes, basting venison with sauce every 5 minutes. Flip venison and continue roasting until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 130 degrees, 10 to 20 minutes more (start checking the internal temperature after 10 minutes).
- Transfer rack to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. If vegetables are fork-tender, transfer them to a serving platter. If not, put them in a saucepan. Strain the sauce into the saucepan and simmer until reduced to desired thickness or until the vegetables are tender. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Slice the venison and serve with vegetables and sauce.

ROASTED RACK OF VENISON AND POMEGRANATE SAUCE
Venison is naturally lean, has no internal fat, and is especially suited to a quick, high-heat roast. The coating's assertive mix of juniper berries and Szechuan and black peppercorns locks in the meat's juices. Each chop is drizzled with a ruby-red sauce made from the pan juices and sweet-tart pomegranate juice, available in specialty and gourmet stores.

Steps:
- Place the wine, garlic, half the peppercorns, the bay leaves, lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste in a deep dish that will hold the venison. Place the venison in the bowl, turn it to coat all sides, cover it and refrigerate overnight. Turn the meat a few times while it is marinating.
- Place the cranberries in a non-reactive saucepan. Stir in the vinegar, sugar, ginger, five-spice powder and remaining peppercorns. Bring to a simmer and cook slowly, stirring from time to time, about 20 minutes. The cranberries should be soft and there should be enough liquid in the pan just to moisten them. Remove from the heat and set aside until serving time.
- About two hours before serving remove the venison from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan so it comes to room temperature. Strain the marinade, place it in a saucepan and cook over high heat until the marinade is reduced to about three-fourths cup. Add the beef broth, cook the mixture down until there is about three-fourths cup, then season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place the venison in the oven and roast it about 12 minutes per pound for medium rare. It should register 120 degrees when an instant-read thermometer is inserted in the thick part of the meat, not touching any bone.
- Remove the meat from the oven and allow it to stand at room temperature 20 minutes before carving. Warm the dried-cranberry mixture and transfer it to a serving dish. Reheat the sauce made from the marinade. Check the seasonings again.
- Cut the venison into individual chops. If the butcher has cracked the large bone between the chops, cutting the chops should be extremely easy.
- Serve the venison moistened with some of the reheated sauce and with the cranberry mixture on the side.

Tips:
- Select a rack of venison that is fresh and has a good amount of fat on it. This will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during roasting.
- Trim any excess fat or sinew from the rack of venison before cooking. This will help prevent the meat from becoming tough and gamey.
- Season the rack of venison generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Sear the rack of venison in a hot skillet before roasting. This will help create a flavorful crust on the outside of the meat and prevent it from drying out.
- Roast the rack of venison in a preheated oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-well.
- Let the rack of venison rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Roasting a rack of venison is a great way to enjoy this delicious and versatile meat. By following these tips, you can ensure that your rack of venison turns out perfectly cooked and flavorful every time.
