How to Store and Reheat:

Store leftover roast in an airtight container or zip top bag in the refrigerator up to 4 days.

Serve thin sliced venison roast chilled on sandwiches or reheat in a skillet coated with butter or olive oil over medium heat, stirring until heated through.

How to Cook Tender Venison Roast:

When grilling a venison roast, the best way to ensure that it is tender and juicy is to cook it rare to medium rare. Allow the roast to rest before slicing. If venison roast is cooked past medium-rare it is going to have a more chewy texture.

Injecting garlic butter into the venison adds tons of flavor and helps keep the meat juicy.

Once we tried the perfect grilled rump roast, we never made another slow cooker pot roast again. We applied the same method to the venison roast and the results were outstanding. It makes a delicious Sunday meal with plenty of leftovers for delicious sandwiches.
