MICKEY'S VENISON MEAL IN FOIL

INGREDIENTS:

3 to 5 lbs. venison roast                                                   1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil    (EVOO)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper                                           1 teaspoon salt - to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper                                                4 medium sized onions, sliced
8 medium size potatoes, sliced                                     1 pkg. instant Lipton dry onion soup mix (I now use IGA brand) 
4 carrots, peeled, sliced into 1/2 inch length pieces    1 teaspoon garlic powder

Remove any fat or membranes from boneless venison roast.  Rub roast with olive oil and sprinkle entire roast with cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, and garlic powder.  Place one package of Lipton dry onion soup mix into a small mixing bowl and add enough water to make a thick paste.  Coat roast with the onion soup mix paste.  Half fill the bottom of a roasting pan with water and place one large sheet of aluminum foil onto top section of roasting pan.  Center roast on aluminum foil and surround with sliced potatoes, carrots and onions.  Seal aluminum foil and bake in oven at 350 degrees for 2 hours.  After one and one half hour check the roast with a meat thermometer or pierce meat with a knife and check the color of juice/meat.  Bake until desired doneness.  You can use a baking bag, but puncture a small hole in the top of bag to allow some steam to escape.

Note: Use the best cut of venison you have, hind quarter muscle or the loin strap. The loin strap will usually be done (medium-rare) in about 45 minutes to one hour. Recipe by Mickey Porter 1999.

ALTERNATE SEASONINGS: Use a generous portion of Wild Bill's Dry Meat Rub which has the above spices and the addition of a few others of which works great will most any meat.  I used a sprinkling of Meat Tenderizer today (11-21-08) on all sides of the venison after rubbing the roast down with extra virgin olive oil and used my Wild Bills Dry Meat Rub and let set for about 30 minutes for the roast to come up to room temperature and give the meat tenderizer a chance to do it's thing.  Pixs below:
