Source of Recipe

American Game Cooking / John Ash & Sid Goldstein


List of Ingredients

* 1 boneless loin of Antelope (3 to 4 pounds)
* 2 tablespoons oil or clarified butter
* salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
* 2 sweet onions (preferably Vidalia), chopped
* 1/2 cup chopped carrot
* 1/2 cup chopped celery
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 cup dry red wine
* 2-1/2 cups beef stock, veal stock, or game stock
* 4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature


Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Heat oil in a heavy, ovenproof roasting pan over medium high heat. Season the roast with salt and pepper and sear on all sides in oil. Remove the roast from the pan. Add onions, carrot, celery, and garlic to pan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove pan from heat and place the roast on top of vegetables. Place pan in preheated oven and roast to medium-rare, 10 to 12 minutes.

2. Remove the roast from pan and keep warm in foil. Place roasting pan over high heat on stove top, add wine, and deglaze pan. Reduce to a medium sauce consistency. Add stock and reduce by half. Strain into a saucepan, discard vegetables, and reheat sauce. Reduce further, if necessary. Whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

3. Cut the meat into serving portions, and spoon sauce over the top.
