PRESSURE COOKED VENISON ROAST WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• 1. Mix up seasoning ingredients and sprinkle on all sides of the roast. Save leftover seasoning.
• 2. Get a skillet hot then add olive oil. Sear meat on all sides.
• 3. To small pressure cooker add 2 cup water, 1 cup broth and 2 gravy packages and the leftover seasoning mix. Whisk together.
• 4. Add meat to pressure cooker. Take 1 cups water and deglaze the pan that you seared the meat in. Pour this into pressure cooker.
• 5. Put lid on and turn on high. Vent for 10 minutes then add weight on. Reduce heat to maintain pressure. For my altitude I cooked 1 hour and 20 minutes at 15 pounds of pressure. Check with your manual for your area.
• 6. Let pressure come down then remove top. Remove meat for carving and bring liquid to a boil. In a bowl add 1/2 cup water then mix in the corn starch. Add this slurry to the liquid and bring back to a boil.
• 7. Slice roast and place in serving platter/bowl. Pour up gravy for gravy boat and pour the rest over the roast.

VENISON RAGU

Steps:

• Heat the butter over medium-high heat in a large, heavy pot like a Dutch oven. Add the onion, celery and carrots and cook gently for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring often. Do not brown them. Sprinkle a little salt over the veggies as they cook.
• When the vegetables are soft, stir in the chopped porcini and tomato paste and allow everything to cook for 3 or 4 minutes, again, stirring often. When the tomato paste begins to turn the color of brick, add the ground venison, the porcini soaking water and the broth. Bring to a simmer.
• Allow this to cook down over medium-low heat. Take your time here and resist the urge to do this over higher heat. Stir from time to time. When the liquid has mostly evaporated, add the wine and repeat the process. When that has mostly evaporated, add the milk, nutmeg and black pepper and stir well. Bring back to a simmer and add salt to taste. Let this cook until it is the consistency you want.
• When you add the milk to the sauce, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add enough salt to make it taste like the sea. Once the ragu has thickened, add the pasta to the salty water and cook until its al dente.
• To serve, put the pasta in a large bowl and add a healthy ladle of sauce. Toss to combine. Give everyone their portion, then top with a small ladle's worth of sauce. Grate the cheese over the top and serve.
