Farmhouse venison pot roast over soft polenta, built for a hungry table after a long day out.
Prep 20 min · Cook 134 min
Season the venison pot roast and sear it hard in a hot dutch oven until deeply browned on all sides, then set aside.
Soften the onion, garlic, and aromatics in the same pot, scraping up every bit of the fond.
Return the meat, add the braising liquid to come halfway up, and bring it to a bare simmer.
Cover and cook low -- oven or coals -- for a few hours until fork-tender and falling apart.
Skim, reduce the liquid into a glossy sauce, and serve over soft polenta.
