Moose-Ahh-Leanie (Moose Roast)

"A friend gave me a nice LEAN (hence the name) sirloin moose roast and I developed this recipe to prepare it -- it turned out just great. Other cuts of moose, elk, or deer can be used in this recipe but the sirloin cut is really tops for this particular method. I recommend trimming as much visible fat as possible from the roast prior to marinating. This is a Crock Pot recipe but it can just as easily be roasted in your oven, (see directions.)"

directions

  • In a long casserole dish, marinate the roast in a blend of the salt, pepper, marjoram, and beer. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning the roast after 1 hour.
  • Spray the inside of a large Crock Pot with the cooking spray, (e.g., Pam). If you have one of the older or smaller Crock Pots, you might have to cut the roast in half to make it fit inside.
  • Lay the potatoes, onions, and carrots in the bottom of the Crock Pot. Lay the roast on top of the vegetables, and include the marinade. Dot the roast with the butter and then add the mushrooms and celery on top of the meat.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soup, Worcestershire sauce, and the chicken broth. Slowly pour this blend into the Crock Pot.
  • Cook on HIGH setting for 1 hour and then reduce the setting to LOW for 7 more hours. Check the tenderness of the meat at the end of this time. You can cook it for up to 2 more hours if necessary but if you are using a sirloin roast, then 8 hours should do it.
  • Serve hot with crusty bread and a heavy red wine such as Merlot or Chianti.
  • NOTE: You can leave out the potatoes and serve this dish over cooked egg noodles if desired. Also, this can be baked in the oven in a large casserole dish covered with aluminum foil: 325 degree F. pre-heated oven for 3 hours.

  1. This was great!! I had a friend bring me some moose from alaska. I have never cooked moose,but I have eaten it before. To me this was better than a beef roast in the crockpot. I will def. make again!
     
  2. This is my first year cooking moose and this recipe is DEFINITELY a keeper! My son and I both really liked it and the veggies are great too! I used a rump roast and it was delicious. I'm not a fan of a super gamey flavor, but this was just enough to appreciate the moose, but not overpowering enough to put me off it. I did omit the celery because it wouldn't have been eaten. Also, instead of an hour on high and then turning it down, I did 9 hours on low because that's what my schedule required. It was fully cooked and came apart easily with a fork. I can't wait for my bf to get home so he can try it too!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I am a retired State Park Resort Manager/Ranger. <br /><br />Anyway, as to my years in the State Park System (retired now), I was responsible for 4 restaurants/dining rooms on my park and my boss at Central Headquarters said I should spend less time in my kitchens and more time tending to my park budget. I spent 25 years in those kitchens and worked with some really great chefs over those years, (and some really awful ones too!) <br /><br />I spent THOUSANDS of hours on every inch of that park and adjacent state forest (60,000 acres) and sometimes I miss it. But mostly I miss being in that big beautiful resort lodge kitchen. I miss my little marina restaurant down on the Ohio River too. I served the best Reuben Sandwich (my own recipe -- posted on 'Zaar as The Shawnee Marina Reuben Sandwich) in both the State of Ohio and the Commonwealth of Kentucky down there and sold it for $2.95. Best deal on the river! <br /><br />They (friends and neighbors) call my kitchen The Ospidillo Cafe. Don't ask me why because it takes about a case of beer, time-wise, to explain the name. Anyway, it's a small galley kitchen with a Mexican motif (until my wife catches me gone for a week or so), and it's a very BUSY kitchen as well. We cook at all hours of the day and night. You are as likely to see one of my neighbors munching down over here as you are my wife or daughter. I do a lot of recipe experimentation and development. It has become a really fun post-retirement hobby -- and, yes, I wash my own dishes. <br /><br />Also, I'm the Cincinnati Chili Emperor around here, or so they say. (Check out my Ospidillo Cafe Cincinnati Chili recipe). SKYLINE CHILI is one of my four favorite chilis, and the others include: Gold Star Chili, Empress Chili and, my VERY favorite, Dixie. All in and around Cincinnati. Great stuff for cheap and I make it at home too. <br /><br />I also collect menus and keep them in my kitchen -- I have about a hundred or so. People go through them and when they see something that they want, I make it the next day. That presents some real challenges! <br /><br />http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/parks/parks/shawnee.htm</p>
