Instructions
Clean the roast, removing any sinew and silver skin. Pat dry and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Melt the butter in a cast iron skillet. Sear each side of the roast on medium-high heat until it has a crispy golden crust.
Place the venison roast into the crock pot or dutch oven along with all of the tasty bits in the skillet. Deglaze the skillet with about half a cup of red wine (optional) and add it to the pot.
Place the vegetables around the roast. Season with more salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Add the water or stock. Cook in a crock pot on low heat for 8 hours, or in a dutch oven at 300°F for 3-4 hours until fork-tender.
Notes
Optional: Deglaze skillet with red wine before adding to pot. Adjust seasoning to taste throughout the cooking process for best flavor.
