Roasted VenisonJohn Kernick

A gentle seasoning and overnight marination lets venison's lean, clean mouth-filling meatiness shine.

Cooks' notes:

·Venison can be marinated up to 24 hours.
·You can substitute a 3-pound trimmed and tied center-cut beef tenderloin roast for the venison (do not cut into pieces). Follow recipe above, roasting until beef registers 120°F, 25 to 30 minutes for medium-rare.
