Such a simple recipe but it's delicious.

Take a venison roast, I used the "football" roasts out of the back quarters.. I'm not sure exactly what they're called correctly.

Weigh them in KG. Add 1% sugar and 1% salt to a ziplock. Throw the roast in, rub the seasoning in and allow to sit in the fridge for 4 days to a week.

Smoke to 130° internal and allow to rest.

Sliced thing with onions, peppers and mushrooms make delicious sandwiches.

Nice i’m going to have to try this. If the cut you use is the one I’m thinking of I think it’s the sirloin off the hindquarter -one of my favorite cuts. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it…

We don't even get sausage made anymore. It all gets smoked. And some gets deli sliced for sandwich meat.

How does the connective tissue and inner silverskin in that sirloin roast turn out after smoking? Does it completely break down like when braised? Or is it still tough and you just pick it out as you eat it?

In the future, a little better trimming would benefit.

I generally slice it across the roast into super thin slices so the bits of connective tissue aren't hugely problematic

I saw another recipe that brined a rear quarter for two weeks. I wonder the difference between brine and dry rub…

I dont brine or anything. Usually the day after harvest the deer meat goes straight to the smoker.

Smoked mine today. Let it rest about 30 minutes. It was good but a little too smoky. I made up an Au Jus packet in a saucepan and added the meat, sliced. Took an Italian roll and hollowed it out some so it wouldn’t be too bready. Toasted that with provolone. Added mayo, deli mustard and Chicago Giardiniera. Holy shit what a sandwich.
