This venison roast delivers incredible flavour and aroma. The meat is seared, draped with bacon, and roasted before being braised in a savoury sauce made from beef consommé, red wine, apple cider, lemon juice, garlic, onion, and dried cranberries. The result is a wonderfully tender and flavourful centrepiece, ideal for serving four people. The total preparation and cooking time is approximately 140 minutes.
