I really like it with the rice and gravy down in Louisiana, but have yet been able to get close. Anyone with a recipe or how to?

I use magnalite or cast iron pot ; stuff roast with garlic, season with S&P
if you dont have a venison roast, get a chuck roast which will have lots of marbelling, fat, and full of flavor once cooked down
add 1/4 cup of EVOO or canola oil to pot and adjust stovetop to medium/high heat
when oil gets HOT, add roast and sear / brown all sides for 4-5 minutes each side
after browning roast then add diced onions to pot with 1/2 cup of water and stir around to carmelize onions. 5-10 minutes later add minced garlic with another 1/2 cup of water.
After another 5 minutes add 1/2 cup of Dales seasoning and add enough water to barely cover top of roast.
When water begins to boil, adjust heat to low/med and cover.... let cook for 3 hours. Turn roast over and cook another 3 hours on low/med covered.
The longer you cook the better as meat will shred and fall apart easily. Taste gravy and add more S&P if needed.
same thing can be done in a crock pot after browning meat ; make sure you cook it slow and low for 6+ hrs

When we do smothered steak we use a round steak and have it 4x4 in pieces roughly then season and tenderize it pretty good. then we put some EVOO in the pan and brown it a bit. take it out and set it aside. throw some onion and garlic in the pan and cook till it gets translucent. then just make a standard gravy with some more oil and flour but make it a more runny than usual. Throw the steaks back in there then let it sit about an hour covered on low checking/stirring to make sure it doesn't burn the gravy, add more milk/water if it gets too thick.

Cajun Blake has it right....I brown mine really well and put the roast in a slow cooker, then deglaze the pot with onions and roi-tel tomatoes, thrown all of that on top of the roast and add a can of French onion soup. 5 hours on high and it's falling apart....don't forget the salt, pepper and Tony's!
I'll make a large pot of this and eat it as rice and gravy, then sandwiches, then fajitas...love it!
