How to Make Potted Elk Roast
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
- Season the 3-4 lb elk roast generously with salt and pepper. Brown the meat on all four sides for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the meat from the skillet and place it in a large slow cooker.
- Add 1 large onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 4 cloves garlic (minced), 1 cup beef broth, 1 cup red wine, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, and 1 bay leaf to the slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 8 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and easily shreds.
- Remove the elk roast and vegetables from the slow cooker and set aside on a serving platter. Keep warm.
- Skim excess fat from the cooking liquid in the slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker until smooth.
- Pour the flour mixture into the slow cooker. Stir in the remaining cooking liquid.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the gravy has thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Serve the shredded elk roast and vegetables with the delicious gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serves 4-6
