Ingredients:
- 4 lbs Caribou roast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 cups orange juice
- 1/2 cup currant jelly
- Dash of bitters
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prep: Begin by preheating your oven to 450Β°F (230Β°C). Smear the caribou roast with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
-
Sear the Roast: Place the seasoned roast in the preheated oven and sear for 15 minutes. This initial step locks in the juices and flavors, ensuring a moist and tender result.
-
Slow Cook: After the searing, reduce the oven temperature to 325Β°F (160Β°C). Cover the roast and let it cook gently for 60 minutes. This slow cooking method allows the meat to tenderize while infusing it with rich flavors.
-
Prepare the Glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, lemon juice, and allspice to create a vibrant glaze. Baste the roast with this mixture every 15 minutes during the cooking process, ensuring a luscious citrus flavor in every bite.
-
Create the Orange Glaze: In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Add the orange juice, currant jelly, and a dash of bitters, stirring until well combined. This decadent glaze adds a sweet and tangy dimension to the roast.
-
Apply the Glaze: Brush the prepared orange glaze generously over the roast during the final 15-20 minutes of cooking. This step caramelizes the glaze, creating a beautiful crust on the exterior of the roast while infusing it with irresistible flavors.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the roast reaches your desired level of doneness and the glaze is caramelized to perfection, remove it from the oven. Allow the roast to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot, accompanied by your favorite sides, and savor the delectable flavors of this Orange Glazed Caribou Roast.
