Corned Mule Deer

Thanks xj - after the smoke phase the recipe for pastrami I have calls for a 30 - 60 minute steam in a covered roasting pan before serving. I'm assuming that step is optional and depends upon how you want to serve the final product.

I steamed while smoking with my last one. Pulled off smoker and let cool as long as I could stand it before slicing thin. I do think that it was the best a day later after cooling way down in the fridge for a day. Though I would eat the whole thing hot off the smoker as that was amazing as well.

Sounds like I need to make two roasts and try them in different styles - dang I'm getting hungry for some hash.

For a quick and also delicious pastrami, get a bunch of corned beef when it goes on sale after St Patty's Day and smoke that, OMG, yum!

Round 2.

10 day cure/brine. Slow smoke all day with pecan in the beginning.  At 150 int bumped the temp to get over 165. Let cool then vac pavked and left in the fridge for a week. Sliced this am prepping for tonight. This is like candy!

I just finished a batch last weekend (mule deer and whitetail) and it was some of the best meat I have ever had. Man why was I not doing this all along. I made several extra and vacuum sealed them (brined but uncooked) for later.

If I have any roasts left I think I'll cook/smoke them and pack em in on hunting trips next fall...if I can keep myself from eating it all!

My son should be getting a bear in WI next Fall, looking forward to doing corned bear as well.
