Italian Venison Roast
Recipe: #16400
December 19, 2014
"This is a great tasting venison roast recipe I threw together a long time ago and have been making ever since. My daughter recently asked for the recipe and I realized I had never taken the time to jot it down. So as per her request I made this for her and I and wrote the ingredients and amounts down. I like to make a gravy with the drippings to drizzle over mashed potatoes or just serve it as is. To make gravy I strain the drippings into a sauce pan and bring it to a boil, then I stir in a mixture of 2 tablespoons cornstarch and water and Voila, you have an amazing tasting gravy! If gluten intolerant make sure you are using gluten free beef broth and Worcestershire sauce."
