P500 Cooking deer meat

[Spellmajr]

So everyone has their own way of cooking meat. I mean it is apart of man law to cook your own meat. I just prefer to kill, clean, butcher and cook my own meat. What everyone's favorite way of cooking deer meat. Or for the people who don't hunt cooking your favorite meat. Here is mine. I love cooking a whole front shoulder of a deer. I take it and inject it with butter garlic salt and all kinds of other goodies. I use wellinghams rub, commonly referred to as whams, with brown sugar. Smoke it at 220 for an hour to an hour and a half. Then take it wrap it up in foil with a little dr. Pepper and some more wellinghams. Cook it in the over for 3 more hours at 250. Man oh man is it good. I'd take it over deer steaks any day.

I have a Trager pellet smoker and use it a lot. I just made about 30 lbs of caribou sausage today. About half of it is going on the smoker tomorrow for about 3-4 hours. I did a mild and spicy italian and a maple breakfast sausage this time around. When I lived in NC I'd the same with venison.
But my all time favorite for any game meat is to take 2 cups of Yoshida's sauce, 2 TBS of fresh garlic, a piece of fresh ginger about an inch long finely grated, 1 TBS crushed red pepper, 1 fresh orange juiced. Mix all of the ingredients together place your steaks or ribs in a bowl pour the mix over it and marinade for about 3-5 hours depending on thickness. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper then grill over a cherry, Apple, or your favorite smoking wood to the desired tempature. First time I did this was with fresh Dall Sheep back strap in guide camp for a client that was a big name chef; he claims it was the best steak he has ever had.... I think it's just cause we had just finished a sheep hunt and put about 15 miles on the shoe leather that day.

Hell yeah, anything you can do to get rid of that gamey taste.

I take the backstrap and make poppers like this....
Pound out the meat with a tenderiser, insert a fresh jalepeno stuffed with a garlic button and an onion wedge, then wrap in thick cut bacon and smoke it for 5 hours over hickory at 180 degrees!!

I like to slice my backstraps about 1/4 in think roll in egg then Louisiana chicken fry mix and deep fry to golden brown. Mmmm mmm...

Slicing the backstraps thin, we call those fly steaks. Don't need to do much to those, fry in butter with some onions, done!
You guys mix your burger with pork down there too? Venison burger is too lean, need to add fat.

Absolutely, can't get them to even hold together and flip on the grill without breaking apart without it.

All this talks making me want to go kindle a fire in the smoker, lol.

All the above. I smoke it, I make sausage with it and burger.. . Non hunters have no idea what they are missing

Don't know if anyone has a trick here for making venison ribs? Had them once, stunk terrible when cooking and tasted just as bad. Even smothered in sauce. Too much tallow, real gamey!

I cut the meat from the ribs and put it into sausage and burger...

Kinda funny, I'm holding up deer meat by the grill with deer in the background, might be hard to see the deer. Lol

Roll a whole backstrap in 3/4 dry sherry, 1/4 sesame oil mixture.
Roll it in dry mustard
Roll again in dry sherry / oil mixture.
Salt and pepper.

Cook all sides over a very hot charcoal fire with some wood smoke - pecan is nice.

You want it dark on the outside and rare in the middle.
Let it sit for a few minutes. Slice thinly and pour the juice over top.

For some of those lousy bits (calves etc), chop into chunks and can it with a jalapeno in each jar. The gristle melts into jelly.
You can use it for all kinds of things. Smear the tender meat and jelly into a sandwich, eat it out the jar on a camping trip, add it to a boring pasta....

 

[Upstatefreedom]

Wow. Those all sound really good. I usually don't get to fancy with my veni. Call me simple old school. I love to just cut nice little steaks and cook with butter,salt and pepper. If it's straps I slow cook in the oven or on the grille. But nothing beats taking the inside loins when you field dress the deer and frying them up that day!!!!!!!

This is my wifes venison stew that we're eating now - so much better than domesticated meat.

But her chilli is amazing !!!
We pride ourselves on the food that we collect, grow, harvest and prepare.
Ever tried moose cabbage rolls with home grown, fermented cabbage?

 

[JTW]

I kill it.. Clean it.. Then give it to the wife!! She's the bestest!
