Shaffer Venison Farms Boneless Venison Shoulder Roast 10 lb.

Details

Create delicious entrees with a touch of rustic charm with this Shaffer Venison Farms boneless venison shoulder roast! This meat comes from deer that are farm raised in central Pennsylvania, where they're allowed to roam and graze freely for the entirety of their lives. These deer are never administered antibiotics or hormones, creating truly all-natural meat that's bursting with flavor. Venison has a taste that's similar to a cross between lamb and beef, with rich, earthy, herbed undertones that make it deliciously unique. Because this meat comes from farm-raised animals, it lacks the gaminess that is sometimes associated with wild-caught venison. Plus, this deer meat is a nutritious addition to your menu! It's lower in fat and calories than beef, pork, and even chicken, but higher in protein than any other meat, meaning it will help keep your customers feeling full for longer. It's also packed with iron, B vitamins, and other essential nutrients, making it a great choice for patrons who are trying to eat healthy! This large roast is expertly cut from the shoulder section, rolled and tied for great presentation and easy preparation, then frozen to preserve its fresh flavor.

This venison shoulder roast is a versatile cut that can be used in applications calling for beef of lamb. Though the shoulder is a hard-working muscle with a significant amount of dense connective tissue, low-and-slow cooking methods like braising and smoking will reward you with exquisitely tender meat with unbeatable flavor! When cooking this shoulder roast, keep in mind that venison is leaner than other red meats, so you may need to add more fat or monitor the meat closely to avoid overcooking. Venison pairs well with spicy, autumnal flavors like mint, sage, rosemary, star anise, allspice, and clove. Its earthy flavor is complemented by tart fruits like quince and cherry and it stands up well to full-bodied red wines and dry ciders. To prepare this shoulder roast, rub it liberally with olive oil and insert a few garlic cloves into the meat for extra flavor. Brown the roast evenly on all sides over medium heat, then transfer it to a large roasting pan and add liquid - select from beer, red wine, chicken broth, or beef broth depending on the flavor you hope to achieve. Cover the roast tightly with a lid or foil and bake in an oven heated to 325 - 350 degrees Fahrenheit for around 6 hours, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Slice the roast into individual portions for a holiday feast, or pull it apart to create delicious venison carnitas or pulled venison sandwiches. No matter how you choose to use it, this venison shoulder roast will set your menu apart from the competition!
