Corned venison recipe?

I highly recommend elk pastrami. I will save the smaller roasts for searing whole and cutting steaks. The larger big elk roasts I make into Pastrami.

I did a bucket brine with some basic spices and pink salt, smoked for a 10+ hours, then seasoned with pastrami spices and seared on some charcoal.

Resurrecting this thread again. Anybody doing corned venison for Saint Patty‘s. I think I’m gonna.
I'll be getting some ready today. I've used some variation of Hank Shaw's recipe for close to ten years and would recommend. I'll do an elk brisket and a handful of elk tongues (for the novelty) in preparation for the annual St. Patty throwdown (which also happens to be my Dad's birthday). Can't wait!

Cool!

Yep - put the tongue straight in the brine as you would roasts, brine for a few days, and then boil it for half an hour or so. I then carve/peel off the skin on the tongue (toss that unless you are really adventurous) and boil the inside meat like you would any other corned meat. It's a really delicate, tender, and fatty piece of meat* that is delicious.

*you can make all sorts of things out of tongue, but it's kind of grey and unappetizing unless you cure it somehow to make it redder (like corning). People also make tacos (Lengua) from it because the zesty seasonings add some color.

C'mom now! I've been doing this tongue trick for at least 5 years!

It's a huge hit with the in-laws, plus a real head turner. "Oh Luke - he's just a trophy hunter!" and then you pull out a tongue to feed a group of people and they kind of say "Well, by golly, he does use everything but the hooves off those things"

i like the idea of feeding gross stuff to the in-laws.

Do they know hoof-soup recipe is in development?
