Instructions
Venison Haunch Joint.
1 venison haunch joint,
Salt and black pepper,
6 fresh bay leaves,
3 large sprigs thyme or rosemary,
Streaky bacon.
For the gravy:
½ glass red wine,
250 ml chicken, beef or game stock,
Redcurrant jelly.
Method:
Preheat the oven to 220 C/425 F/gas mark 7.
Season the joint, and lay the bay leaves and thyme or rosemary over the meat.
Place the bacon over the herbs, covering the meat.
Place the joint in a large roasting tray if it is under 2 kg, roast for 20 minutes, or 30 minutes if it's over 2 kg.
Turn down the oven to 170 C/325 F/gas mark 3 and roast for a further 12 minutes per 500 g of meat. This should give you medium-rare meat: just pink in the middle. Reduce the cooking time to 10-12 minutes per 500 g if you prefer it rarer.
Remove the meat from the tin, cover with foil and leave in a warm place to rest for 20 minutes.
While the meat is resting, make the gravy.
Skim off any fat from the juices in the roasting tin, then put the tin over a low heat, add the wine to deg-laze, stirring well and scraping up all the bits of caramelized meat stuck to the bottom of the tin.
Add the stock and boil to reduce and concentrate the sauce.
When the gravy has reached your required level of intensity, season and stir in a little red currant jelly.
Serve with seasonal vegetables.

Gorgeous
This was the best meat we've had in a while. I seasoned and cooked for 20 minutes on 220C, then turned the meat, lowered the oven to just under 200, and cooked for another 15 minutes. After which I turned the oven off, but left the roast in there for about 10 to 15 minutes. The meat was cooked to medium... still slightly red, but not too bloody. It just melted in the mouth, so tender was it, and not a lot of fat or gristle. Serves 4 good eaters. Bought this in a flash sale and would buy again at reduced price, but I do find at full price it's just too expensive.
So Tender and Really Tasty
I flashed fried it to seal then cooked for 15 minutes on 200 fan oven, reduced to 130 and coked a further 20 minutes. Left to rest for 15 minutes and it was absolutely delicious!
Lean and tender
I bought this in a flash sale, so not expensive. I pot roasted it for an hour or so with some wine, stock and vegetables. It was delicious and so tender it just fell apart.
pretty good, not cheap
Cooks well, reasonably tender and flavoursome although one side had a thin girdle of tough fat. Expensive, so one for special.
Awful. Dog liked it.
Tough, gristly, inedible. Thank Goodness I bought it on a flash sale.
