Help with cooking a Venison Roast (DEER ROAST)

[DaTT]

My neighbor gave me a venison roast and I need to cook it soon....well more of a want to cook it soon. I enjoy BBQ'ing (as some of you may know from other BBQ posts of mine), so any BBQ tips would be great. The whole "oven" thing scares me.

These are my family recipies... Handed down from generations of pennsylvania white tail hunters.

Choice 1: Venison Stew/Soup
Cube the venison. In a large roaster add:
Water, Beef Boullion, Tomato Juice, torn cabbage, stewed tomatoes, carrots, minced Onion, Corn, Peas, and sliced potatoes in a roaster. Season with pepper & garlic. Bake at 350 for 2.5 hours.
Optional: Omit the potatoes, and Add Egg Noodles, with 25 Minutes left in bake time.


Choice 2: Grilled Venison
Slice Venison thin. In a large bowl, combine meat with:
Slice 1-2 white onions, 2 green bell peppers, 2 banana/wax mild peppers, 2 Tomatoes, and 1 pound mushrooms. Add 2 Bottles of Wishbone Italian Salad Dressing. Soak for 2 hours, grill on a foil sheet on medium heat. Add salt, pepper, and garlic while grilling.

Choice 3:
Smokey Buffalo Venison
Slice the meat. Mix 1 cup Franks Hot Sauce with a stick of butter, 2 tsp liquid hickory smoke and 1/8 cup of apple cider vinegar. Add pepper, garlic, onion. Heat, stirring until almost boiling.
Grill the meat slices in butter and brush on the buffalo sauce.

I would slow cook it in a crock pot all day. Then I would pull it apart with a couple of forks, add BBQ sauce and make sloppy joes. It'll last a long time too. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! 🙂

so how are you going to cook your venison???

WE NEED UPDATES

I've cooked it a few times. Deer is very lean and muscular, meaning if you cook a roast anywhere past medium, it'll turn into SHOE LEATHER. If you're going to cook it on a grill, wrap the roast in strips of bacon to seal it (it gives a nice flavor too). Do not add salt while cooking, but seasonings like thyme, pepper, bay leaf, and dry mustard work well. Keep a can of water on the grill while cooking to keep a moist heat going.

Cook to around 145 degrees (F). As with all grilled meats, the internal temperature will raise 5-10 degrees after removing it from the grill, putting it at a perfect 150-155.

I personally don't care for venison, but I appearently cook it well 🙂

You should cook it in a super secret special cooking device that can only be found in my house. I would, of course, require a fee....🙂

 

[Cattlegod]

how big is it?

you might want to :

1 - chop it up in smaller bits and fry it (always good)
2 - put it in a crock pot.

I will probably try this method.

I say you go shoot your neighbor instead and put him in the oven. Deer hunters are lame.

The old saw that salting meat while cooking dries it is a myth. Salt that mutha.

The idea that wrapping it in bacon "seals in juices" is also a myth, but as the fat on the bacon melts, it will baste the roast, keeping it juicy and adding nice flavour.

The recipie above is a nice one, though. You may want to sear the outside of the roast on high first, the brown crunchies that result will be tasty. Roast on low heat, though, and don't overcook.

Mmm, I'm hungry

Wait until the next time a family member or even yourself hits a deer on the highway at full speed. See what you think of hunting season then! :|

PETA RULES!

You'd rather see a man die than an animal die for food? You sir, are a knob.

MMMmmmmmm venison roast...

What kind of roast it it? Front shoulder? Rump roast?
There are probably more good recipes for a rump roast (or round) rather than a shoulder roast, but my favorite way to do a venison roast of either type is to put it in a slow cooker with plenty of water. (Lacking fat, they can dry out quickly) Don't overcook, and toss in plenty of carrots, potatoes, etc.

I loved the idea of bbq beef (bbq venision) from someone above... I'm going to have to try that one this year (assuming I can get a deer or two) All it'll take is traveling the right road at the right time and I can find some nice fresh road-killed venision. Plus, a couple more, 1 by bow, and 1 by shotgun for me this year. (I've posted threads in the past about road-killed venison. As long as it's fresh, I'll grab it anytime I have the chance.. After trimming away all the bruised meat, the least amount of good meat I've gotten was about 20 pounds. I've gotten far more other times though. Generally, all the loins are in good shape.

Now, for the PETA advocates. Isn't it worse to just leave the animal rotting on the side of the road, to be picked up 2 weeks later by the DOT and hauled to the dump? Wouldn't it be better to not waste the animal? Perhaps all PETA people shouldn't drive cars, that way they won't accidentally kill a deer. But if they do... they should eat it.

I will keep you updated as to how it goes.....

Vegetarians are lame. Killing animal and eating it has been around as long as animals have been around.

Bump. Help!! I'm being triple-teamed by Bambi killers.
