Venison Roast

Post by Warmouth » December 1st, 2008, 11:19 am

I roasted some veni last night, and was really happy with the way it turned out.

The secret, imo was keeping the meat covered and cooking at 325 for 2 1/2 hours. I should have only gone 2hrs max, but this was the most tender veni I have ever had. Honestly cut with a fork tender.

I soaked a 12-13" section of loin (the big end of the loin) from my 10 pt in marinade in the fridge for 36hrs, seared the meat in butter, gave a few good dash's of salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, and cajun seasoning. Put in a glass baking dish and used 1/2 packet of Au Jus mix for the meat to soak/bake in, added a few slices of onion. I turned the meat once after 1hr 15 minutes or so.

Forkin' delicious.

I was intending to smoke it, but with the chitty weather, I googled a new recipe and then only followed about half of the directions, just because that's how I do. And I'll do this one again, mmm good.

I just finished this roast for lunch today. I was pretty proud of it, and wanted to walk around the office getting co-workers to taste how good it was, but decided that I should just keep it for myself. It was awefully good.

It translates to "powerful yummy" in hillbilly, if that is more familiar to you.

Dave my only question is why would you use a prime cut of venison backstrap for this recipe? A roast off of the back ham would have been just as good for this recipe, and you could save your loin for the grill (where it belongs).
One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who did not whine, nag, or bitch.
But it was a long time ago, and it was just that one day.

I had thawed it out to serve for my folks who were in town visiting. I had planned too put it in the smoker and do it up right, but then it was snowing like a bastard, and generally cold, so I wimped out and stayed indoors to cook it. Since that was the meat that was thawed, that was the meat I used.

I do prefer it on the grill also, but this recipe was powerful yummy, as I previously stated.


Have you tried that rub I posted a couple months ago?

You need to.

I just want you to know how queer it sounds to say "veni". Just call it deer meat or venison, fag.
Dave probably plays with his "peni" alot too. :yes:
