Title: Trilogy of venison
Post by: Wing Commander on October 25, 2015, 12:31:30 PM
The fall is a great time to cook some venison. For today's lunch I made a variety of pastrami, goulash and steak. So let's get started:

Pastrami:

This piece of meat was dry cured for about 10 days. Yesterday I seasoned it with a rub similar to Meathead's Pastrami rub (http://amazingribs.com/recipes/beef/close_to_katzs_home_made_pastrami.html):

4 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
2 tsp ground coriander
0,5 tsp mustard powder
0,5 tsp packed brown sugar
0,5 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder

This was smoked with apple wood at 200° F until an IT of 140° F was reached.

Before the pastrami was smoked, I started with the venison goulash: sear the meat, take it out and sweat 1 sliced onion and 3 chopped jalapenos, toss the meat back into the dutch oven, season with paprika, salt, pepper, add 1 can chopped tomatoes, beef stock and red wine.

Add red wine to the cook, too...  ;)

At the end of the cooking time, I cooked a venison steak on the mini egg: seared directly and cooked indirectly to an IT of 135° F.
