Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2
Rub the crushed garlic evenly over the venison roast to infuse it with flavor.
3
Place the roast in a small roasting pan. Arrange some of the onion chunks underneath and around the sides of the roast.
4
Nestle the carrot sticks and chopped celery around the roast, creating a bed of vegetables.
5
Pour enough water into the pan to just cover the bottom, ensuring the top of the roast is still exposed to create a lovely crust.
6
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce, bouillon cubes, onion powder, black pepper, oregano, and thyme (if using). Mix well.
7
Pour this mixture over the roast, allowing the flavors to seep in and distribute amongst the vegetables.
8
Cover the roasting pan with a lid or aluminum foil, and transfer it to the preheated oven.
9
Bake for 4 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.
10
Once done, carefully remove the roast from the oven. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
11
Serve the roast alongside the vegetables and mashed potatoes. For gravy, place the roasting pan on the stove over medium-high heat.

In a separate bowl, combine the milk and flour, whisking until smooth. Gradually stir this mixture into the hot broth, whisking constantly to achieve a thick, creamy gravy. Adjust consistency by adding more milk or flour as needed.
