Post by: 92xj on January 12, 2018, 05:30:13 PM: First is Corned deer boiled and served like traditional corned beef and the second is rubbed and smoked for pastrami.

If they taste even half as good as they look - you are my new hero.

Post by: Fletch on January 15, 2018, 02:43:58 PM: I ate my last piece of corned elk last week. Cooked it in the slow cooker with onions and beef broth...just peel it off in strings and it is D-E- licious... I have 3 more chunks soaking now. I definitely want to try the Pastrami route this go around. Thanks for the rub recipe.

Post by: lokidog on February 10, 2018, 07:04:59 AM: One of my son's favorite meals is smoked venison cut really thin then served French Dip style.

Those look great!

Post by: Karl Blanchard on February 10, 2018, 07:08:22 AM: That looks amazing!!!! I need to try pastrami next year. A buddy did a bunch with goose this year and it turned out fantastic!

Post by: crnbndr on February 11, 2018, 07:31:35 AM: Looks great! What does steaming the pastrami do to enhance it?
Title: Re: Corned Mule Deer
Post by: CaNINE on February 11, 2018, 09:13:40 AM: OK I'm definitely inspired to give this a try with a bear roast.
Title: Re: Corned Mule Deer
Post by: NRA4LIFE on February 11, 2018, 04:50:32 PM: Canine, my favorite game meat to corn is bear. Definitely give it a go. I guarantee you will be corning a lot of bear meat.

I steamed while smoking, felt like it couldn't hurt and kept it from getting too dry, though I'm not sure it would have been overly dry without the steam. Will try without steaming next time to test.

Both brined and cured the same.
Traditional corned meat is then boiled before serving.
Pastrami is rubbed with spices and then smoked after the brine/cure.
Title: Re: Corned Mule Deer
Post by: CaNINE on February 12, 2018, 07:07:53 AM: 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.

Post by: CaNINE on February 12, 2018, 07:20:24 AM: Sounds like I need to make two roasts and try them in different styles - dang I'm getting hungry for some hash.
Title: Re: Corned Mule Deer
Post by: lokidog on February 12, 2018, 09:42:00 AM: 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!

Title: Re: Corned Mule Deer
Post by: h20hunter on March 10, 2018, 09:30:27 AM: Round 2.

Post by: Cuda on March 12, 2018, 08:38:39 PM: 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!
