venison hind quarter

[Capt Dan]

A buddy of mine gave me a couple hind quarters to smoke up for him. I had never done any venison before so I did a lil research and found a recipe on one of my hunting/fishing sites.

Stuck it in the Lang along with other pork and beef parts.



a few hours later it was done and rested for another hr before the cut!



all in all, pretty tasty and moist. I have another one in the freezer, still trying to decide if its gonna have the same treatment or end up as jerky.

Points to you sir, for sharing that killer recipe. I thought I had a good way to cook them, but this beats everything else hands down.

[Capt Dan]

Thanks Ray, Here is the rub recipe.

16 oz package of uncooked bacon
2 tsp of ground black pepper
1/2 tsp of Chipotle chili powder
2 Tbsp of ground sea salt
1/2 tsp of ground white pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp Hungarian paprika
1/2 teaspoon of Morton Tender Quick (optional)
2 Tbsp brown sugar

I took it off the pit at 167 internal, and rested it for an hr before the sliced pic.It was boneless so when I rubbed it, I had to tie it back up into a roast before I added the bacon.

Thanks for the points!:)

Difference between what Dan did here and ham... I make vennie hams, but they need curing. A roast instead... that rub mentioned would be good. I'd cook at 250 until internal of 145-150 is reached.

Technically you SHOULD freeze the meat for a week or so... if there's ANY concern over parasites/disease in deer in the area. Minimal here..but I still do.

[Richtee]

If there is a worry about parasites, you'll need to cook it to 160F internal temps. Or if you can freeze it at -5 for 5 days... you can do the 140-145 temp
