venison roast

Cooked buck meat

A venison roast is a cut of deer meat prepared for roasting, typically from the leg, shoulder, or loin.

Like other roasts, it's cooked whole at moderate heat until done throughout.

Venison is leaner than beef, so roasts often benefit from added fat or careful timing to avoid dryness: We wrapped the venison roast in bacon before putting it in the oven.
