Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups veal or beef stock, preferably homemade
2 dried bay leaves
1 bunch fresh thyme
3/4 cup ruby port wine
1 one-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup red-currant jam
4 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
4 tablespoons whole juniper berries
4 tablespoons dried rosemary
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons butter
2 (1 1/2 to 2 pounds each) racks venison, well trimmed
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries

Steps:

  • Combine stock, bay leaves, thyme, port, ginger, and jam in a large saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until stock has reduced to 1 cup, about 1 hour. Remove from heat, strain, and transfer to a clean small saucepan. Set aside.
  • Combine peppercorns, juniper berries, and rosemary in a spice grinder. Grind, allowing some texture to remain.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place a large roasting pan in the oven. Salt both sides of each rack well, and rub the ground spice mixture into the meat.
  • Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Place both racks in skillet, and brown each side, about 2 minutes per side, using tongs to maneuver racks in skillet. Transfer racks to the preheated roasting pan.
  • Roast venison 30 to 35 minutes for medium rare. Remove roasting pan from oven, and transfer meat to a cutting board to rest 15 minutes.
  • Return sauce to a boil. In a small bowl, combine remaining 2 teaspoons butter with flour; mix until a paste forms. Reduce heat, stir in cranberries; let simmer until berries are soft and sauce is glossy. Whisk in the butter mixture. Serve the red-currant-and-cranberry sauce with the venison.

ROAST RACK OF VENISON WITH CRANBERRY CHUTNEY

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups dry red wine
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns, crushed
2 bay leaves
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 loin rack of venison, 4 to 5 pounds, with the bones cracked to permit easy carving
1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder
1/2 cup beef broth

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.

Rack of venison, roasted carrots & forager sauce image

This dinner party roast has a touch of autumn about it with the star anise, roasted carrots and blackberries in the sauce

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 medium carrots , washed and peeled
4 star anise
100g butter
12 juniper berries
1 tsp dried thyme
4 ½ tbsp rapeseed oil
2 x 6-bone racks of venison , French trimmed
1 banana shallot , finely chopped
1 litre brown chicken stock
50ml sloe gin
150g blackberries

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.

ROAST RACK OF VENISON



Roast Rack of Venison image

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.

ROAST LOIN OF VENISON WITH CRANBERRIES



Roast Loin of Venison With Cranberries image

Looking for different ways to use that deer meat? This is a great recipe I found recently that I wanted to share with you all! Recipe originally used lingon berries which can be almost impossible to find in the USA. They very closely resemble cranberries in appearance and flavor so I have substituted those in this recipe. Do not forget to drink the wine that remains in the bottle! hehehe

Categories     Deer

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 lbs venison loin, boneless
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
3/4 teaspoon fresh thyme, crushed
2 cups dry red wine
2 cups beef or 2 cups venison stock
2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
15 ounces whole berry cranberry sauce
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
fresh thyme sprig

Steps:

  • Rub the venison with the olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt, 1 teaspoon of the pepper and 1/2 teaspoon thyme, pressing the seasonings into the meat. Allow the venison to come to room temperature.
  • Set the loin on a rack in a roasting pan and roast at 400°F until medium-rare, about 135°F on a meat thermometer, about 25 to 30 minutes basting frequently with the pan juices.
  • Tent the venison loosely with foil and set aside for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
  • Place the roasting pan on stove top over medium high heat and add the wine. Bring to a boil and cool until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 mintues. Be sure to scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the stock and bring to a boil. Add the cranberries and reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Add the ginger, 1/4 teaspoon each of salt, pepper, thyme and the cold butter. Allow the butter to completely melt before removing from heat.
  • Slice the venison thinly and serve with the hot sauce.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To ensure the venison is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should reach 135°F (57°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the venison by making a small incision into the thickest part of the rack. If the juices run clear, the venison is cooked.
  • Let the venison rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • To make the cranberry sauce, you can use fresh or frozen cranberries. If using fresh cranberries, rinse them thoroughly before cooking.
  • You can adjust the amount of sugar in the cranberry sauce to your taste. If you like a tarter sauce, use less sugar.
  • If you don't have port wine, you can substitute red wine or beef broth.

Conclusion:

Roasted rack of venison with cranberries is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The venison is tender and flavorful, and the cranberry sauce adds a tart and tangy sweetness. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
