Time to defrost another mystery bag of deer. Quick recap: Doug delivered me a few freezer bags of gifted animal and then I open the bag and see what kind of cuts I get to play with. These aren’t the best trimmed pieces of meat, but who am I to complain about free […]

We’re gonna get deer venison crazy over here. My buddy Doug has a venison guy who donated a bunch of cuts. I have a few freezer packs full of deer and like I do, I gotta mix things up. My backstrap post – The Venison Backstrap – was taking the primo cut and

We’re back with some more deer venison. My buddy made a dynamite pork guisada back when I worked at my first real career – I thought, why not try it venison style. Looked it up and sure enough, I wasn’t the only one who decided to tread these waters. Giving credit to Hank

Cooking, smoking, grilling, barbecuing – it’s a game. It’s a one-on-one matchup between meat and heat and you gotta play it to win. If you haven’t checked out my first Elk Rib Post – go visit and see what I did – then come back and see how I made it better. The

Absolutely no idea what the hell to call this post. My buddy Doug had a pile of extra meats and asked if I wanted any. He brought over like 5 bags of venison cuts and a refrigerated bag of sausage. What kind of sausage? Boar, Bear, Deer, Pig and Cow. Hell of a

If you recall from the Reverse Seared Lamb post a little bit ago, I bought a whole rack and butcher pieced it out for me. This is round two of probably a 6-7 round fight. Website needs content, right? So I did some searching around and tried to do a marinated recipe this

Man walks into a meat shop and walks out with a rack of lamb. He’s never cooked lamb, only had it as a child. Never ordered it at any high-end restaurant (Also never really visited any high-end restaurants, but that besides the point). Why would I buy a whole rack of lamb (at

Wishing a very Happy Valentine’s Day to my sweet dear deer. After watching the deer in our backyard for months, it was time to watch one on the smoker. My buddy had downed one and I was gifted the result. Admittedly, I’ve never smoked/cooked a true backstrap before. I’ve made some awesome venison
