Braised Venison Pot Roast with Rich Gravy
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Season the venison with garlic, grill seasoning, and chili powder. Set it in a casserole dish and pour in the beef broth. Cover the dish with its lid.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until the venison is tender, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

  4. 4

    When the venison is nearly done, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it bubbles. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until the bubbling slows and the flour turns golden yellow, about 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Whisk 1 1/2 cups broth from the venison roast into the flour roux; simmer for 15 minutes, whisking frequently. Add the venison to the gravy and serve.
