Venison Pastrami

Have you tried making your own venison pastrami? It's easy and delicious.

Ingredients:

• 1  2 to 3 lbs venison roast 
• Hi Mountain Seasonings Game Bird & Poultry Brine Mix
• 2 tbsp Hi Mountain Seasonings Garlic Pepper Rub
• 1 tbs ground coriander
• 1/4 cup beef stock

Directions:

1. Trim any fat or sliver skin off the venison roast. 
2. Mix one pouch of Hi Mountain Seasonings Game Bird & Poultry Brine Mix with 3 1/2 quarts of water. Add the venison roast to the brine and refrigerate for 7 days. 
3. After refrigerating for 7 days, remove the venison roast from the brine and rinse throughly. Soak the venison roast in a water bath for two hours, changing the water once during this process. Remove the venison roast from the water bath and dry with paper towel.
4. Place the venison roast on a rack to air dry for one hour.
5. In a small bowl, mix the Hi Mountain Seasonings Garlic Rub and coriander together. Liberally cover all sides of the roast with this mixture. 
6. Set the smoker/pellet grill to 200 degrees F and place the roast in the smoker. Once the internal temperature of the roast reaches 150 degrees F remove from smoker.
7. Place the roast on a large piece of tin foil. Pour the beet stock on top of the roast and seal the foil tightly around the roast.
8. Place the roast back into the smoker and steam another 30 minutes. 
9. Remove foil-wrapped venison roast from smoker and carefully take the roast out of the foil.
10. Let the venison pastrami rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving. 

Note: Use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal cooking temperature has reached 150 degrees F.
