Smoked venison

[Jpsmith1]

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…

Mine is now in the fridge salted/sugared. I added some black pepper to mine.

What are you using for the smoker?

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

What temp did you smoke with?

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

 

[RDF1]

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.

Wow! @Jpsmith1 great recipe! Thanks for posting. Finally got around to getting this done. I pretty much followed the recipe exactly. Didn’t think the salt and sugar was enough to make a difference but wow it really did. Pulled the venison off the smoker at 130f. Man wow! That was significantly better than I expected. Took the cue from @Ashy Larry and toasted up some open faced sandwiches- oh man what a hit! But really the venison was so good it didn’t need the sandwich part. I didn’t use the best cut - just what I had. Trimmed it up but definitely not perfect and it wasn’t a problem at all. Next time I’m doing a bigger piece because there was nothing left after dinner.
