Tried something new

[Phantom Hunter]

Just tried a new (for me) way of cooking venison. I was handed the duty of smoking a beef brisket for a church function so I thawed a roast from a mulie buck to cook with it. The roast was the big football-shaped muscle on the femur. After starting a mesquite wood fire in the smoker. I covered both brisket and roast with brisket rub seasonings. Both were placed in the smoker. After four hours, I added some of the fat trimmed from the brisket to the top of the mulie roast, placed it in an aluminum pan and covered with foil. Eight hours later it was some of the best venison I have ever put in my mouth. My wife said "I'm not a big meat eater but this is good." Wish ya'll could have tasted it. If you have access to mesquite give it a try.

That sounds delicious! I experimented as well a couple years ago with a muley roast and my turkey fryer...I injected it with dark beer and cajun spices...let it soak over night and threw it in the fryer for 20-25 min and it was awesome. My wife even liked it!

Isn't it great when you try something and it actually tastes good! We have went to using brown sugar marinades with venison and it tastes great. If you don't have time to marinade overnight, you can take vegetable oil and heat it up in a skillet, add some brown sugar, a little apple cider vinegar, some seasoning(used Grill Mates Mesquite today), mix together and add some strip meat and let it simmer. It is kind of like a stir fry, and it comes out great. Today I grabbed a tortilla and cheese, added some of the meat and had one of the best burritos of my life!

Next time I fire up the smoker I'm going to try adding some jalepeno slices and monterrey jack cheese to the middle of the roast before cooking. Works great on duck breast I bet it will be good on venison too.
