venison

Rookie here, For the first time, I'm making my own deer snack sticks and sausage. I have the seasoning (using surecure cure#1) and stuffing under control. I'm looking for guidance on what to do after. I'm going to be using a pellet smoker to smoke the sticks and sausage. Based on what I've...

With the football season well underway, I have been craving meatloaf for quite a while. Decided to play with my recipe after a bit of research on the interweb. Ingredients: - 2 lbs of ground Venison (1# each deer and elk) - 1 Onion (diced and sauteed) - 3 gloves Garlic (fine dice and sauteed)...

After the failure with the Scimitar Oryx Ribs last week, I decided to smoke up the venison rib roast staring at me every time I open the freezer. Trimmed it up, removing the silver skin and cleaned up the bones Lightly coated in sea salt for a dry brine for 30 hours Used mayo as a binder...

Howdy all, I've got a situation with snack sticks that I need some guidance on and was hoping you all could help a first timer out! Sorry in advance for the length of this!! Deer season is approaching, so I thought I would clear out the freezer and make a batch of snack sticks. Got it all...

My 2023 yearly hunting trip is in the books! I scored 3 doe, 1 cull buck (3pt) and 1 feral hog. My brother scored 1 cull buck (4pt) and 1 feral hog. We got lucky that the weather held up Friday evening for us to get our major hunting in Friday. Sat morning was completely rained out but had a...

Well I'm glad to report I finally got back to hunting and have some goodies to share with everyone. Previously my last hunt was 2019 and the pandemic squashed hunting for 2020, and 2022 for me. Glad to be back at it. The Hunt I don't have pics of the hunt or the animals since we had so many to...

Still loving my Vortex! Tonight I decided to do some Venison Round Steaks from an Axis Doe I shot last fall. I first marinated (EVOO, Soy Sauce, Worcestershire, lemon, Garlic, Pepper, Thyme & Parsley) the venison for about 7 hours. I made a "butter topper" with butter, garlic, and...

Son got his first deer this year and so far it has been excellent. Did a bacon wrapped tenderloin last night. Every bit as good as the filet I cooked for my wife. Slowly working on her resistance to deer meat…ha ha.

My family and friends in my hometown have been making the same cold-smoked “deer bologna” as we call it for several generations. The recipe calls for 30 lbs of meat/fat, 8 oz salt, 2-3/4 oz. garlic salt, and a few other ingredients for flavor. The mixture is then stuffed into hog casings and...

I recently cooked up a few different meals and since they are all Venison Based I figured I'd lump them into one thread. Some quick cliff notes: The Meatloaf - A friend on another forum planted the idea for trying to make "meatloaf, a bag of chips, and a PBR look fancy". I had to give it...

I have a couple venison top round (top sirloin) roast I am considering smoking. Wondering if anyone has done this and has any tips. My main concern is it coming out dry since there is basically no fat.

This is my first attempt at venison summer sausage. Got the meat, spices and cure mixed. Wrapped it in plastic stuck in the fridge. Recipe called for letting it sit for 12-24 hours. I'm using Anthony's Pink Curing Salt #1. Problem is, it looks like work is going to interfere with the timing...

Good gosh, this time of the year can stress a person out. Work, Family, Hunting and Family/Friends, More Work, Holidays and Friends/Family and Lots More Work. And in-between all that chaos, confusion and contention, I gotta get some cooking time in to really relax. Still trying to make room...

Just finished some Hickory smoked venison Andouille.

On Friday, I mixed and stuffed 50 lbs of venison summer sausage with jalapeños, cheddar, and habanero cheese. Also did a 25 lbs plain batch for my wife and kids since they don’t like spice. I get my seasoning from a local butcher shop and for the spicy batch, I add minced garlic, cayenne...

So there I was... Waiting for Monday Night Football and decided I wanted a burger. I had some of my homemade Venison/Bacon blend thawed out (two 1 pound chubs), and decided I wanted burgers. Then I decided I would make one giant burger, because why not!? I originally just made a giant patty...

Thawed out meat and got supplies ready to stuff roughly 12lbs of brats. Then it hit me that I really didn't want to dirty the stuffer, so patties it was. Recipe is as follows: 7.5 lbs Ground Pork 4lbs Ground Venison 1lb Pork Fat 1/2 cup plus 1 tsp (2tsp per pound of meat) - P.S. Seasonings...

Decided to take out a venison roast from a Whitetail doe I got this past fall. I covered it with "Saltgrass 7 Steak Spice" and then wrapped in Saran Wrap and let sit in the fridge for a few hours. After sitting I fired up the pellet smoker with some apple pellets and smoked it at 225 until it...

These are directly from Jeff's Cheese Stuffed Jalapeno Meatballs recipe. The only change I made was to use venison instead of beef. For the sausage, I used Jimmy Dean's hot sausage. The meatballs are slightly larger than Jeff's simply because I find them easier to stuff. Apple was my wood of...
