Thoughts on cooking a venison roast?

[matthew715]

I have a 3-5 pound venison roast in the fridge that is just about thawed and I am desperately trying to nail down a cooking method for the weekend. I'm not terribly familiar with venison cuts so unfortunately I'm not sure what type of roast I am dealing with. My thoughts are to get it into a brine this afternoon, rub tomorrow, and roast it on a Holland Grill. Anyone have any thoughts or experience? My concern, of course, is that the cut is very lean and that it will dry out.

I recently made Jamie Oliver's Pan Seared Venison with Blueberry Shallot Sauce which we really liked.

The leftover sauce was also great on duck sausages.

Venison is always lean and needs careful cooking. For a roast, I'd usually cover it in bacon slices to add fat. Here's a recipe that should suit:

just be sure to cook it no more then rare...i great marinade would be some Pommery mustard, garlic, thyme...and you could make a great wild mushroom sauce on the side( just a side note venison is even great as a tartare...) so no problem serving it really rare!

You could "soak" it in Buttermilk overnight in the fridge and then simply prepare it as you would a Beef pot roast on the stove with a nice gravy.
