Moose-Ahh-Leanie (Moose Roast) image

A friend gave me a nice LEAN (hence the name) sirloin moose roast and I developed this recipe to prepare it -- it turned out just great. Other cuts of moose, elk, or deer can be used in this recipe but the sirloin cut is really tops for this particular method. I recommend trimming as much visible fat as possible from the roast prior to marinating. This is a Crock Pot recipe but it can just as easily be roasted in your oven, (see directions.)

Time 10h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lbs moose roast, sirloin
21 ounces cream of celery soup (two cans)
15 ounces chicken broth
6 medium potatoes, peeled and halved
4 large carrots, peeled and quartered
1 celery rib, peeled and quartered
1 large onion
6 ounces beer (not "lite")
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
12 ounces fresh mushrooms, stems trimmed and halved
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 teaspoon black pepper, freshly milled
cooking spray

Steps:

  • In a long casserole dish, marinate the roast in a blend of the salt, pepper, marjoram, and beer. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning the roast after 1 hour.
  • Spray the inside of a large Crock Pot with the cooking spray, (e.g., Pam). If you have one of the older or smaller Crock Pots, you might have to cut the roast in half to make it fit inside.
  • Lay the potatoes, onions, and carrots in the bottom of the Crock Pot. Lay the roast on top of the vegetables, and include the marinade. Dot the roast with the butter and then add the mushrooms and celery on top of the meat.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soup, Worcestershire sauce, and the chicken broth. Slowly pour this blend into the Crock Pot.
  • Cook on HIGH setting for 1 hour and then reduce the setting to LOW for 7 more hours. Check the tenderness of the meat at the end of this time. You can cook it for up to 2 more hours if necessary but if you are using a sirloin roast, then 8 hours should do it.
  • Serve hot with crusty bread and a heavy red wine such as Merlot or Chianti.
  • NOTE: You can leave out the potatoes and serve this dish over cooked egg noodles if desired. Also, this can be baked in the oven in a large casserole dish covered with aluminum foil: 325 degree F. pre-heated oven for 3 hours.
