Rack Of Venison Food

RACK OF VENISON

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or a grill pan on high heat.
• Rub venison with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill or a grill pan and cook over high heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove the venison from the hot part of the grill and place them on low heat. Grill for another 5 to 6 minutes, until medium rare. Serve with lingonberries.

ROAST RACK OF VENISON WITH SMOKED BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Season venison with salt and pepper. Heat a few tablespoons oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet. Add venison and sear well on all sides, about 5 minutes in all. Transfer venison rack to a roasting pan and roast 20 to 25 minutes per pound, for medium rare, basting frequently with pan drippings. When meat registers 130 to 140 degrees F on a meat thermometer, remove it to a carving board and cover loosely with foil. Let rack rest for at least 10 minutes before carving. Serve with heated homemade or prepared barbecue sauce.;

RACK OF VENISON WITH APPLE AND SZECHUAN PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot. Season the venison with salt and pepper and sear for 2 to 3 minutes on all sides. Remove the venison from the skillet and place in a roasting pan. Pour off and discard the oil from the skillet.
• Over medium high heat, add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. When the foaming of the butter subsides, add the apples and saute until they begin to caramelize, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sugar and the vinegar and cook another 1 to 2 minutes to reduce the vinegar by half. Add the wine and Szechuan peppercorns, cook for 2 minutes before adding the stock. Return to a boil, and reduce the stock for another minute. Keep the sauce warm while the venison finishes cooking. When ready to serve swirl the butter into the sauce.
• Place the venison in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 125 to 130 degrees for medium rare. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before slicing into chops. Serve two chops per person, with some of the apple peppercorn sauce ladled over each serving.

ROASTED RACK OF VENISON

• Brush wing sauce over venison rack, and dust with dry rub mix.
• Place venison rack in shallow bowl or pan. Cover and marinate for 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• On an outdoor grill heated to medium-high, cook the venison rack for 2 minutes per side, turning each side a quarter turn each minute.
• Place the rack in a baking dish and roast in oven for 15 minutes for medium-rare ribs.
• After removing from oven, allow rack to rest 10 to 12 minutes before carving.

RACK OF CERVENA VENISON WITH MUSHROOM AND HERB CRUST

Steps:

• Tie rack between every second cutlet to help retain its shape.
• Roast mushrooms in butter or oil in hot oven until they are almost dry.
• Brush Cervena venison lightly with oil and sear quickly in pan or on grill to seal in natural juices.
• Dry off excess oil with a towel.
• When cooled, brush with mustard, which can be mixed with butter or oil for a smooth, even coating.
• Roll meat in herb and mushroom mixture, evenly coating all sides.
• Place in roasting pan. Cook in oven preheated to 400°F/200°C for approximately 12 minutes for rare meat or longer if desired.
• Remove, cover with foil and let stand 10-12 minutes to evenly disperse heat throughout the meat.
• If served rare, it should be a rose pink color when carved.
• Serve immediately.
• Note: I've never actually made this with the rack as called for but I thought I should leave it in the original version for posting. I have however made this with a venison roast and it come's out great. Roasts however, do take longer than the 12 minutes posted here.

MAPLE-ROASTED RACK OF VENISON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Season venison generously with salt and pepper, rub with a little olive oil and let rest at room temperature. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup, veal stock, thyme, bay leaf, peppercorns and garlic. Gently boil until reduced by half.
• Set a roasting pan over medium-high heat and add the butter. When hot, brown the rack on all sides, then transfer to a plate. Pour the maple-stock reduction into the roasting pan, scraping the brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Return the rack to the pan, meat-side up. Add the carrots and onions and season them with salt. Cook in the oven for 10 minutes, basting venison with sauce every 5 minutes. Flip venison and continue roasting until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 130 degrees, 10 to 20 minutes more (start checking the internal temperature after 10 minutes).
• Transfer rack to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. If vegetables are fork-tender, transfer them to a serving platter. If not, put them in a saucepan. Strain the sauce into the saucepan and simmer until reduced to desired thickness or until the vegetables are tender. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Slice the venison and serve with vegetables and sauce.

ROASTED RACK OF VENISON AND SHALLOTS WITH DRIED-CRANBERRY GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a roasting pan large enough to hold the venison racks without crowding them, toss the shallots with 2 tablespoons of the oil and salt and pepper to taste and roast them in the middle of the oven, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden. Pat the venison dry, season it with salt and pepper, and rub it generously with the additional oil. Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat until it is hot and in it sear the venison on all sides. Push the shallots to the sides of the roasting pan, stand the venison racks in the middle of the pan, allowing the bones to rest together, and roast the mixture in the middle of the oven for 23 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 125°F., for rare meat. Transfer the racks with shallots to a platter and let them stand, covered loosely with foil, for 15 minutes. To the roasting pan add the broth, the wine, the water, and the juniper berries and simmer the mixture, scraping up the brown bits, for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve set over a small saucepan, whisk the cornstarch mixture, and add it to the saucepan with the cranberries, the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the gravy, whisking, for 5 minutes. Cut the venison into individual chops and serve it with the shallots and the gravy.
