SANDRA'S ALASKAN MOOSE ROAST - PRIME RIB STYLE

Image
A simplistic method using minimal spices and ingredients to guarantee utmost flavor of our prized Alaskan moose roasts; prime rib style, that is! Servings: (8-10) Prep: 5 Mins. Roast:  1 Hr. 20 Mins. INGREDIENTS 4 lb. boneless moose roast (tied with kitchen string) 6 fresh medium garlic cloves, sliced in half Canola oil (sufficient amount to rub entire exterior of roast prior to seasoning) Fresh ground black pepper (we like to use a lot!) Kosher salt (a fairly nice dusting) METHOD Remove roast from refrigerator 1 hour prior to roasting (tie with kitchen string if not already done). Using a sharp boning knife, poke as many small holes all over uncooked roast to insert the number of garlic clove halves; push in holes. Let prepped roast sit at room temperature for 1 hour (this is an important step to relax meat fibers). Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450 degrees for a minimum of 15 minutes. Rub roast with canola oil, and season exterior with freshly ground black pepper and kosher salt. Pl...
