Season the venison with salt and pepper. Heat 100ml vegetable oil in a large pan. Add 30g butter, sear half the meat until golden (8–12 mins), then drain. Repeat with remaining venison.
In the same pan, add 30g butter, cook carrots for 5 mins, then onions, celery, half the seasoning, thyme, and bay leaves until golden.
Deglaze with red wine, reduce by half. Add hot stock and make a roux with the remaining butter and flour. Simmer 5 mins, pass through a sieve, then return to the pan with venison.
Prepare the cranberry sauce: combine cranberries, orange zest and juice, sugar, spices, simmer 40–50 mins until thickened. Stir into venison along with red currant jelly and sage. Cook in oven at 170°C for 2–2.5 hours. Add cooked vegetables 30 mins before end.
Drain sauce, adjust consistency, and season.
In a pan over medium heat, melt butter, add shallots, thyme, and bay leaves, cook until soft.
Add root vegetables, salt, pepper, garlic, cover and sweat for 10–12 mins.
Add water and honey, cook uncovered for 8–10 mins. Mash coarsely for a rustic texture.
Place venison and vegetables on a plate or serving dish, spoon over sauce, and serve alongside the root vegetable mash. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
