Corned Venison

[ChrisD]

My first try. Came out nice and red, just a tad heavy on the salt. Overall pretty pleased.

Did you go by a particular recipe?

 

[MikeTF]

Makes my mouth water. You know folks want your recipe.

Looks good (appearance/edibility). Curious about recipe also.

 

[ChrisD]

I used a recipe I found on the Internet.
http://honest-food.net/2015/01/12/corned-venison-recipe/

Mine was a bit heavy on the salt. I didn't have kosher salt, and used pickling salt in its place. I found kosher for the next go round. Pickling salt is not as coarse, so I guess I used more than needed. The pink curing salt, which goes by instacure. Etc. can be found on eBay, cabelas etc. it is different than Morton's tender quick. I was ordering from cabelas so I ordered it there. I saw it cheaper on eBay. Don't need much of it, though.

It really was pretty easy, not labor intensive at all.
Letting it cool so I can run it on the slicer.

This roast was only about 3 lbs. I let it soak in the brine for 7 days. Now I need harvest another critter this weekend. I have one football roast in the freezer. I wanted to try a recipe for deli roast beef with that one.

Or...you could make pastrami!

Not an expert but that was probably the issue (not criticism by any means ) It definenitely looks awesome and I'm not a big salt fan in any capacity but it does looks delicious either way.

When I realized I didn't have kosher salt, I did some quick searching online. There was a conversion, and I just estimated. But from what I read, they are essentially the same. Being less coarse, there was more sodium for the volume I suppose. Next time will be kosher, picked a can today. I have a pork loin that I want to try a Canadian Bacon recipe I found, put the smoker to use.

I've gotten into canning the past few years and have done the same thing,use what's available/conversions and it just isn't the same as what the recipe calls for in some instances.That still looks like a nice chunk of meat (not to be partially quoted).

Looks good. I need a few more deer!

 

[RebelYell]

Corned venison is next on my list to try. I made venison osso buco the other night and it was far and away the best thing I've made with deer. I'll never grind up another shank.

Not on a sandwich yet, but it's ready to go. Sliced it this morning. I let it soak in water for a day and a half to lessen the saltiness. Color was even all the way through.

Looking good, making my mouth water

 

[wilcam47]

add some cheese and it will be fantastic

I wandered in here just to make myself incredibly hungry it seems. Wow, that looks delicious.
