Venison

bmonkman · 11-15-2012, 07:36 AM

I was just given a couple of nice venison steaks. Could anyone point me to a site that has rub recipes they have used on venison?

Thanks in advance.

I don't have a rub recipe but Harley's is crazy good on venison. Just make sure you cook them steaks past medium. They'll get tough and dry if you do.

I think/hope Swamp meant DON'T cook past medium. Salt and pepper is all Bambi needs IMO, but any rub will do just fine. For a cheap production rub, Weber Chicago Steak Seasoning is pretty decent. I hope to be able to try some Simply Marvelous stuff out sometime, it seems pretty popular around here.....

I just made some chops from the back-straps last night. All I did, rub with a hefty dose of kosher salt and sprinkle some garlic powder. Let them sit on the count for about an hour. Grill over very high heat till medium rare, about 90 seconds per-side.

Unfortunately our deer season wasn't too successful, and I will need to another year before I can eat this good again...

I use Weber Montreal steak seasoning lightly and some extra fresh ground black pepper. Don't cook it past medium rare or it will be tough and dry.

I love using Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning on venison backstrap, tenderloin, chops and steaks.

Plowboys bovine bold is really good on venison

Yes, that was a typo.

I prefer to keep it simple with venison. I usually use seasoned salt and a little pepper and garlic powder and they come out great.

I take zesty Italian pour it out to the bottom of neck on bottle then add dales to it and its fantastic. No rub needed.

I have multiple coworkers who are hunters of all sorts. I bought a 1.75 lb bag of venison rub from oakridge BBQ and divided it among 7 guys. They, their family, and friends want let them make venison without it. Claims were it truly made the meat come back to life and it was out of this world good.
