The evening prior to dinner have venison roast (2 pounds or so) defrosted, cleaned and trimmed. Place venison in a regular size cooking bag and place in a 9" x 9" or larger roasting pan. Next, in a bowl mix the following to make venison marinade.

1/2 teaspoon thyme

1 tablespoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon season salt

Pour marinade over roast and turn several times to coat thoroughly. Sprinkle generously with salt and lemon pepper. Seal cooking bag and refrigerate roast in roasting pan until the next morning. Next morning turn venison roast over to thoroughly marinade on the other side. Once again, refrigerate until two hours prior to cooking. Approximately two hours before dinner time preheat oven to 325 °. Allow 45 minutes cooking time per pound of meat.

4 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 large bell pepper, sliced
4 fresh carrots, chopped
2 stalks fresh celery, chopped
