In the same skillet, add chopped onions, carrots, and celery; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in juniper berries, bay leaves, and thyme; cook for another minute.

Pour in red wine and scrape up any browned bits from the skillet.

Add beef broth and bring to a simmer.

Return the venison roast to the skillet, along with any juices.

Cover and transfer to the preheated oven; roast for 1.5 to 2 hours until tender.

Add sliced mushrooms and chopped bacon to the skillet halfway through cooking.

Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
