Ingredients:

• 1 cooking onion
• 1 celery stalk
• 2 carrots
• 5 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 bouillon cube
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Roast:

   • Begin by rubbing the garlic all over the venison roast, ensuring it’s evenly coated with the aromatic flavor.

2. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

3. Prepare the Pan:

   • Place the venison roast in a small roasting pan. Arrange some sliced onion underneath the roast and scatter some around it for added flavor.

4. Add Vegetables:

   • Surround the roast with sliced carrots and celery, creating a bed of vegetables that will infuse the roast with their savory essence.

5. Seasoning:

   • In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, black pepper, and crumble in the bouillon cube. Pour this mixture over the roast and vegetables in the pan.

6. Add Aromatics:

   • Toss in a bay leaf and sprinkle dried oregano over the roast. Place fresh thyme sprigs on top for a burst of herbal aroma.

7. Add Water:

   • Pour water into the roasting pan, ensuring that the top of the roast is just exposed. This will keep the roast moist and tender during the cooking process.

8. Roasting:

   • Cover the roasting pan with a lid or aluminum foil to seal in the flavors and moisture. Place it in the preheated oven and let it roast for about 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily cuts with a fork.

9. Prepare Gravy:

   • Once the roast is done, transfer it to a serving platter along with the cooked vegetables. Place the roasting pan on the stovetop over high heat.

10. Make Roux:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and milk until smooth, creating a thickening agent for the gravy.

11. Thicken Gravy:

    • Gradually whisk the milk-flour mixture into the pan juices, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Add more of the mixture if needed.

12. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Pour the rich gravy over the sliced venison roast and vegetables. Serve hot with mashed potatoes on the side for a comforting and satisfying meal that’s sure to please everyone at the table.
