A savory venison steak roll filled with seasoned rice and wrapped in bacon, perfect for special occasions or hearty family dinners with rich flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix cooked brown rice, salt, pepper, sage, minced onion, minced celery, and melted butter to make the stuffing.
- Place the stuffing on the venison steak, roll it up, and tie securely.
- Set the rolled steak in a roast pan and arrange bacon slices around it.
- Roast at 325°F for about 1 hour, covered.
- Add 1/2 cup bouillon to the pan and continue baking, uncovered, for an additional 30 minutes.
- Use the drippings from the pan to prepare gravy sauce.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding minced garlic or fresh herbs like thyme to the stuffing. If you don't have venison, this recipe works well with beef or pork steaks. Ensure the rice is well-seasoned, as it will absorb flavors during cooking. Additionally, using a combination of different types of rice can add texture and depth to the stuffing.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the venison steak roll sliced, drizzled with the savory gravy made from the drippings. It pairs beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables, and a fresh salad like My Layered Salad adds a refreshing contrast. Consider a side of Fast-N-Easy Baked Beans for a hearty meal.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover venison steak rolls should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 325°F, cover the rolls with foil, and warm for about 20-25 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can slice the rolls and warm them in a skillet over medium heat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute venison with beef or pork steaks. Adjust cooking times slightly based on the thickness of the meat. Chicken can also work, but be mindful of cooking it until fully done.
What can I do with leftover stuffing?
Leftover stuffing can be baked separately in a small dish until golden and crispy. It also makes a great addition to casseroles or as a filling for bell peppers or zucchini. Feel free to get creative with it!
How can I make this dish ahead of time?
You can prepare the stuffing a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Roll the steak and wrap it tightly, then refrigerate until you're ready to bake. Just remember to add a little extra cooking time if baking directly from the fridge.
