CORNED VENISON

This is a delicious way to utilize the shoulders of deer or elk. The process takes a little time but is well worth it. The curing gets rid of the gamey flavor of the venison. You may add one tablespoon of pickling spice if desired for a more intense flavor.

CORNED VENISON



CORNED VENISON image

Categories     Game     Braise     St. Patrick's Day     Brine

Yield 4-6 peoples

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 gallon water
Heaping 1/2 cup kosher salt
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 ounce Instacure No. 1 (sodium nitrite)
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon toasted coriander seeds
6 bay leaves, crushed
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 cinnamon stick
6 cloves
5 chopped garlic cloves
A 3 to 5 pound venison roast

Steps:

  • Add everything but the roast to a pot and bring it to a boil. Turn off the heat and cover, then let it cool to room temperature while covered. This will take a few hours. Meanwhile, trim any silverskin you find off the roast. Leave the fat. Once the brine is cool, find a container just about large enough to hold the roast, place the meat inside and cover with the brine. You might have extra, which you can discard. Make sure the roast is completely submerged in the brine; I use a clean stone to weigh the meat down. You can also just flip the meat every day. Cover and put in the fridge for 5 to 7 days, depending on the roast’s size. A 2-pound roast might only need 4 days. The longer you soak, the saltier it will get â€" but you want the salt and nitrate to work its way to the center of the roast, and that takes time. Err on extra days, not fewer days. After the alloted time has passed, you have corned venison. To cook and eat, rinse off the meat, then put the roast in a pot just large enough to hold it and cover with fresh water. You don’t want too large a pot or the fresh water will leach out too much flavor from the meat â€" it’s an osmosis thing. partially cover the pot and simmer gently â€" don’t boil â€" for at least 3 hours and up to 5 hours. The meat itself will be cooked in an hour or less, but you want the sinews and connective tissue in the roast to soften and that takes time. Eat hot or cold. It is absolutely fantastic with good mustard and some sauerkraut on a sandwich.

For your favorite yooper!

Provided by Sherry Day

Categories     Wild Game

Time 5h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 to 3 lb venison brisket, flank or shoulder roast, up to one inch thick
2 qt spring water or distilled water
1/2 c canning and pickling salt
3 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp mixed pickling spice
2 bay leaves
8 whole black peppercorns
1 or 2 cloves of garlic, minced

Steps:

  • 1. Roll brisket or flank loosely and tie. Place in a large glass mixing bowl or a large oven cooking bag.
  • 2. In a glass or enamel saucepan, combine remaining ingredients. Heat just to boiling.
  • 3. Remove from heat and cool
  • 4. Pour cooled brine over meat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or, if using oven cooking bag, squeeze the bag to remove air, then twist neck of bag and seal.
  • 5. Refrigerate for 5 days, turning meat occasionally.
  • 6. Drain and rinse meat with cold water.
  • 7. To prepare corned meat, place in a dutch oven, cover with cold water, and heat to boiling.
  • 8. Drain. Cover with cold water. Heat again to boiling.
  • 9. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until tender, approximately 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose venison that is fresh and has been properly stored. Look for meat that is a deep red color and has no signs of spoilage, such as discoloration or an off odor.
  • Soak the venison in a brine solution for at least 12 hours before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and remove any gamey flavor.
  • Use a variety of spices and seasonings when cooking venison. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook venison to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the venison rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Corned venison is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you are braising it in a slow cooker, roasting it in the oven, or grilling it over an open flame, corned venison is sure to please your taste buds.
