One of the advantages of a slow cooker deer roast is that once the meat has finished marinating, you can place both it and the marinade in the slow cooker and let it cook all day. Prior to placing the roast in the slow cooker, you may want to add a fat like olive oil, as well as vegetables such as carrots or potatoes.
Crock-Pot preparation works well for deer roasts because the low heat and slow cooking process result in a tender, melt-in-your-mouth roast. Typically, red meat is recommended to eat in moderation, but venison is naturally lean, making it a healthy alternative to beef. Deer meat tends to have a gamey flavor that is off-putting to some.
Instructions Coat the chuck roast in the salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat and add the oil. When oil is hot, add the roast and sear on all sides until browned. Transfer the roast to a slow cooker and add the radishes, green beans, onion powder, garlic powder, and beef broth.
Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Cover the slow cooker and switch it to low. A thawed roast should take about 8 hours, but a frozen or partially frozen roast will need a full 10 hours. Alternatively, you could switch the slow cooker on high and leave it for 6 hours.
