Directions:
- Begin by rolling out the salt pork until it’s thin enough to wrap around the moose roast.
- Carefully encase the roast with the salt pork, ensuring it’s fully covered.
- Place the wrapped roast in the refrigerator and let it marinate overnight or for 10-12 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
- When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 350°F (150°C) to ensure it’s perfectly heated for the roast.
- Remove the marinated roast from the refrigerator and discard the salt pork wrapping.
- Rub the moose roast thoroughly with dry mustard, coating it evenly for maximum flavor.
- Season the roast generously with salt and pepper, ensuring every inch is seasoned to perfection.
- Transfer the seasoned roast to a roasting pan, ready to be surrounded by a medley of vegetables.
- Chop the onions, carrots, and celery ribs, then arrange them around the roast in the roasting pan.
- Pour the diced tomatoes over the bed of vegetables, adding a burst of freshness and moisture.
- Cover the roasting pan with a lid or aluminum foil, sealing in the flavors as it bakes.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and let the roast cook for 2 hours for a perfectly medium doneness.
- If you prefer your roast well done, extend the cooking time by an additional 35 to 45 minutes, ensuring it reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Once cooked to perfection, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve slices of the succulent moose roast alongside the tender, flavorful vegetables for a truly unforgettable dining experience.
