Deliciously tender rack of venison that is seared and baked to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ½ lbs rack of venison (2 racks weighing 2 ¼ pounds each)
- ½ tsp salt (to taste)
- ½ tsp pepper (to taste)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Season both racks of venison with salt & pepper.
- Add the olive oil to a cast iron skillet and heat on medium-high heat. Once the oil starts to shimmer, sear all sides of both racks of venison. You may need to sear one rack at a time or work in batches.
- Fold aluminum foil over the ends of the bones and bake the venison racks at 400°F (205°C) for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (50°C).
- Once done, loosely tent the racks with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
