Step-by-Step Instructions for Crockpot Venison Roast
  1. Pat the venison roast dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Coat with flour to help thicken the gravy.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high and add olive oil. Sear the roast for 5-7 minutes on all sides until golden brown.
  3. Sauté diced onion and smashed garlic in the same skillet for about 2 minutes, then add thyme and rosemary. Pour in red wine and simmer until reduced by half.
  4. Transfer the onion mixture into your slow cooker and whisk remaining flour with broth until smooth. Pour into the slow cooker with carrots and potatoes.
  5. Season with Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours until the roast is fork-tender.
  6. Mix the gravy in the slow cooker before serving. Enjoy hot with rustic bread.
