This slow cooker venison roast recipe will give you tender and flavorful meat with minimal effort. The roast is marinated in a savory blend of spices and cooked slowly in a crockpot, allowing the flavors to meld together and the meat to become tender.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds venison roast
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the venison roast on all sides until browned. Transfer the roast to a slow cooker.
  2. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
  3. Deglaze the skillet with beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, dried rosemary, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine.
  4. Pour the mixture over the venison roast in the slow cooker.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 5 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
  6. Once cooked, remove the venison roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes.
  7. Optional: If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can strain the cooking liquid from the slow cooker and simmer it in a saucepan until reduced to desired consistency.
  8. Slice or shred the venison roast and serve with the sauce on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Enjoy your delicious slow cooker venison roast!
