Slow Cooker Moose Roast
Cook up a tender, flavourful moose roast in your slow cooker! The perfect way to serve up wild game at family dinner.
Ingredients
- 3-4 lb moose roast like a shoulder, rump or round roast
- 1 cup mead or wine
- 1-2 tablespoons mushroom salt or other herb seasoning salt
- 1 onion sliced in rounds
Gravy (optional)
- ¼ cup pan drippings
- 1 cup diced onion or ¼ cup dried
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups broth of choice
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- If you want the most flavour, brown the roast on all sides in a cast iron skillet using oil or lard.
- Add 1 cup of mead/wine to the bottom of a slow cooker.
- Rub moose roast with mushroom salt and set in wine.
- Slow cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Flip half way if you can.
- If desired, make gravy with the "pan" juices from in slow cooker.
- To your skillet you used for browning, add ¼ cup pan drippings/juice.
- Add flour, stir around for a minute or two letting it cook.
- Add the broth, stir well to combine.
- Add the herbs and spices.
- Bring to a simmer to thicken, take off the heat
Notes
- I highly recommend browning the roast first! I know it dirties a dish, but hey - use it to make gravy!
