Corned Venison Recipes

Steps:

• Place the water into a large 6 to 8 quart stockpot along with salt, sugar, saltpeter, cinnamon stick, mustard seeds, peppercorns, cloves, allspice, juniper berries, bay leaves and ginger. Cook over high heat until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the ice. Stir until the ice has melted. If necessary, place the brine into the refrigerator until it reaches a temperature of 45 degrees F. Once it has cooled, place the brisket in a 2-gallon zip top bag and add the brine. Seal and lay flat inside a container, cover and place in the refrigerator for 10 days. Check daily to make sure the beef is completely submerged and stir the brine.
• After 10 days, remove from the brine and rinse well under cool water. Place the brisket into a pot just large enough to hold the meat, add the onion, carrot and celery and cover with water by 1-inch. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and gently simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until the meat is fork tender. Remove from the pot and thinly slice across the grain.

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Stir in the curing mixture, brown sugar, pickling spice, and garlic powder; stir until dissolved then remove from the heat. Pour 6 cups of cold water into a 2-gallon container, and stir in the spice mixture. Place the boneless venison into the brine, cover and refrigerate.
• Leave the venison in the refrigerator to brine for 5 days, turning the meat over every day.
• To cook, rinse the meat well, place into a large pot, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 4 hours. Remove the venison from the pot, and allow to rest for 30 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Mix all dry ingredients and rub on roast.
• Place roast in ziplock bag and refrigerate.
• Allow to cure 5 days per 2 inches of meat, turning bag once a day.
• Cure at least 5-7 days.
• Place roast in kettle and boil 3-4 hours or until tender.

Steps:

• 1. Roll brisket or flank steak loosely and tie. Place in large heavy zip lock bag. In a stainless steel pan combine rest of ingredients and heat to boiling. Take off heat and let it get cool. Pour cooled brine over meat. Squeeze to remove air, then close bag.
• 2. Refrigerate 5 to 7 days, turning meat once to twice a day. Can go up to one week.
• 3. After brining is done, rinse meat with cold water. To prepare corned meat, place in dutch oven. Cover with cold water and heat to boiling; drain.
• 4. Cover again with cold water, heat to boiling, reduce heat and cover. Simmer until tender, 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours. Crock pot could be used for this step. Can add carrots, onions, potatoes and cabbage during the last 1/2 hour of cooking time.
