  • 5 to 6 pounds moose rump roast
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1 cup vegetable stock, and a bit more if needed
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced, sautéed in butter with cooking liquid
  • 1 cup black olives, optional
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Heat bacon drippings in a Dutch oven.

  • Step 2: Stir in onions and garlic and sauté 5 minutes, remove and set aside.

  • Step 3: Combine seasoned salt, pepper and rosemary, and rub into all surfaces of roast.

  • Step 4: Brown roast well on all sides in pan drippings; remove and set aside.

  • Step 5: Add wine and stock; bring to a boil while mixing with a spoon while scraping bits from bottom of pan.

  • Step 6: Return roast, onions and garlic to pan, cover, and reduce heat; simmer 2 1/2 hours, adding broth if needed. (you want at least 1 inch of liquid in the bottom after the 2 1/2 hours are up) This can also be made in the oven; instead of simmering over low heat, cook in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 2 1/2 hours.

  • Step 7: Combine remaining ingredients, pour over roast and continue to simmer on stove-top or in oven, covered for another hour.

  • Step 8: Serve hot, with sauce from the pan. I like to mix the sauce with mashed potatoes.
