Hell of a winter storm smoked us last night, and will continue well into this eve.
As a consequence, I wanted to make something that would result in easily prepped leftovers today in case our power goes down (there are currently hundreds in that miserable position here right now).
So, I 3/4 thawed an entire whitetail shoulder, seared it all round, and prepped it for the clay bake:
Cover with sweet onions, yellow taters and a few carrots:
Bake at 325 for a couple hours:
Slice:
And Serve:
Note: The reason for putting it in the oven while the center is still partially frozen is obvious. The veggies are well roasted, the outer layer of the roast itself is nicely done, while the middle sections remain medium rare, juicy & very tender.
Slathered a little Roast & Chanterelle gravy onboard before settling in to chow down:
Sometimes simple is Best. Very much so in this case.
And tonight we'll do a stir-fry with the leftovers, something that can be accomplished on the BarBee or Coleman if so required.
Cheers,
Nog
