VENISON FRENCH DIP

[Sowsage]

Last week I did a bottom round and it turned out fantastic! Here is the link if you want to check it out

VENISON BOTTOM ROUND

This is how I do my venison bottom round roasts. Most people I know just use the backstrap and tenderloin for steaks and all the rest gets cut into roasts for the crock pot or ground for burger. Personally I feel that there is a lot more potential for a lot of the cuts off a white tail...

I had some leftover so I figured I would make a couple sandwiches

Sliced up thin

Get some onion carmilized

Warm up the slices in some French onion soup with a little bit of Worcestershire added. I cant remember who told me to use the French onion for this but I think is was chopsaw . Worked real good!

When I was at the store I couldn't find a French baguette so I just got some small sub buns and toasted them real good. Then put down some French onion chip dip.....yep French onion chip dip..its awsome on any kind of beef sandwich .

Then a pile of the venison.

The carmilized onion.

And some cheese. We like to use Swiss.

Then back under the broiler just long enough to melt the cheese.
Here is a cut shot. Yum!

We had this with some tater chips and some more chip dip. Along with the soup for dipping the sandwich.

Sure was good! Too bad I had to share with the wife....i could have ate both of them!
Thanks for taking a look!

ONION DIP as a Sandwich Spread? Brilliant!!! The sandwiches look great.

I have been playing with...Mayo, Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce, Sriracha and minced Pickled Jalapeños, as a Spread. It's Sweet, Sour, Salty and Spicy, together.
I had it with Turkey Sandwiches, imagine that, Ham Sandwiches and makes a great Chicken Salad Base...JJ

Yup . Any of the Lipton onion type soups , beef broth or stock . Works great . I just pulled a beef knuckle out of the smoker for sandwiches tonight .

That's a good lookin sandwich . I'll have to try the onion dip . That's a great idea !

Try smoked onions in a pan to catch the juice and do away with the prefab liptons

Thanks chop! I thought it was you but its been a while back. I'm glad I used it. With the addition of the Worcestershire it made a really good dip for the sammies.

This is a good idea. I like something quick during the weeknights though. Think I could portion it out and freeze for later use?

I use the Lipton mix in all kinds of things. A copy cat would be awesome. Seems I'm always out! Lol

 

[chopsaw]

Yeah , do that. My son buys a concentrate that mixes with water . That way you can adjust the amount . Be happy to take a look at that .

Here it is. It's pretty simple. I quadruple the amounts for a larger batch. So I always have some in the pantry.
1/2 cup dried onion. Either minced or in flakes.
3 tbs beef bouillon powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp celery powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp salt
Put in a air tight container. And shake well before using.
Around 2.5 tbs equals a pack of store bought mix.

Edited: I forgot the beef bouillon.
