Roast Caribou
Description
This Roast Caribou is a hearty, protein-packed main course that highlights the lean, beef-like flavor of this game meat. The overnight vinegar and garlic marinade tenderizes the meat while infusing it with deep savory notes. A thick paste of tomatoes, brown sugar, and mustard creates a delicious crust that balances the natural earthiness of the caribou. Perfect for a special weekend dinner or a rustic holiday meal, this dish serves six and pairs beautifully with roasted root vegetables or mashed potatoes. The slow roasting method ensures the meat remains juicy and tender throughout.Ingredients
Directions
-
Combine 1/2 cup vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon salt in a large resealable plastic bag.
-
Place the caribou roast in the bag, seal tightly, and turn to coat evenly. Refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally.
-
Remove the roast from the marinade and discard the liquid. Pat the meat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
-
Preheat your oven to 450F (230C).
-
Roll the dried roast in the flour, coating it evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
-
Heat the oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides until golden.
-
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 cloves minced garlic, brown sugar, prepared mustard, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar or lemon juice, and crushed tomatoes to form a thick paste.
-
Smear the tomato paste mixture evenly over the top and sides of the roasted meat.
-
Place the skillet in the preheated oven. Roast at 450F (232C) for 15 minutes.
-
Reduce the oven temperature to 300F (150C). Continue roasting for 60-80 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.
-
Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
-
While the meat rests, place the skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Deglaze the pan with a splash of water or broth, scraping up the browned bits. Simmer to create a gravy.
