Preheat the oven
to 400F. Rub the venison with the olive
oil, 1 teaspoon of
the pepper and
1/2 teaspoon of the chopped juniper
berries, pressing the
seasonings into
the meat. Set the loin on a rack in a
roasting pan and
roast, basting
frequently with the pan juices, until
medium-rare (about
135F on a meat
thermometer), 25 to 30 minutes. Cover
the venison loosely
with foil and
set aside for 10 to 15 minutes before
carving. Slice the
venison thinly. |
