Ingredients

  • 3-4 pounds venison roast
  • 1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup vinegar, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus 2 tablespoons
  • 7 cloves garlic, divided
  • 7 tablespoons flour, divided
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Venison:

    • Place the venison roast in a deep bowl.
    • In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup of vinegar, 2 tablespoons of salt, and 4 cloves of chopped garlic to make the marinade.
    • Pour the marinade over the roast, adding enough water to cover the venison completely. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  2. Prepare the Venison:

    • Remove the venison from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
    • Sprinkle the meat with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and dredge it with 4 tablespoons of flour.
  3. Brown the Roast:

    • Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Brown the venison roast on all sides in the hot oil until evenly browned.
  4. Set Up the Crock Pot:

    • Transfer the browned roast to a slow cooker.
    • Add the sliced onion around the roast in the slow cooker.
  5. Prepare the Sauce:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, dry mustard, remaining 3 tablespoons of flour, Worcestershire sauce, diced tomatoes, remaining 1/3 cup vinegar, and 3 cloves of chopped garlic. Mix well to form a paste-like consistency.
  6. Cooking Process:

    • Pour the sauce mixture over the venison roast in the crock pot, ensuring it covers the meat evenly.
    • Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on the low setting for 8-10 hours, or until the venison is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
  7. Serve:

    • Once cooked, serve the Crock Pot Venison hot, accompanied by your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.

Notes

  • Marinating Time: The prep time does not include the overnight marinating time, so plan ahead for this step.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.

This Crock Pot Venison recipe is a wonderful choice for anyone looking to savor the robust flavors of wild game in a comforting, slow-cooked dish. Whether for a cozy winter meal or a special occasion, it’s sure to be a hit with friends and family alike.
