TEXAS-STYLE BARBECUE VENISON ROAST

Steps:

• Heat a small pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the butter and onions, then sauté until translucent. Whisk in the remaining ingredients and bring it to a soft boil. Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes to reduce. Transfer to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and purée until smooth. Set aside about 1/2 cup of the sauce and dilute it with a 1-2 tablespoons of water to use for mopping.
• Trim the silverskin on the outside of the roast and season liberally with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 48.
• Prepare your smoker according to the manufacturer's instructions using your choice of wood or pellets. Set the temperature around 180 degrees.
• Place the venison on the top rack of the smoker if possible. Place a container or foil tray filled with water on the bottom rack directly underneath the meat to release steam. Smoke for 30 minutes until the outside is dry and tacky and then mop the surface with the barbecue sauce. Continue to mop every 30 minutes for 2 -3 more hours.
• Generously baste the meat with the barbecue sauce again, then wrap it tightly in either pink butcher paper or aluminum foil.
• Return the meat to the smoker, and increase the heat to 200 degrees. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. You should be able to feel the tenderness of the meat when pricking it. Pull the meat when it reaches about 180-190 degrees internally. Don't let it get past 200 degrees. This might take anywhere between 8-12 hours to achieve, depending on the size of the roast.
• Finally, rest the venison for 30 minutes, wrapped in an additional layer of foil and placed in an oven or cooler to keep warm. Slice it into thin pieces and serve with barbecue sauce, coleslaw, potato salad, pickles, and onions.
• Notes
• An optional step is to inject the meat in several places using a syringe filled with venison or beef stock. This helps to combat dehydration when smoked.
• Using pink butcher paper will keep some moisture in, but it is breathable, absorbs smoke, and creates a bark. Foil traps steam and is better at keeping the meat juicy, but gives it a subtle braise-like texture.
• The smoke times called for in this recipe are based on the cut of meat and the size. I used a 2 ½ pound outside round, or bottom round. It is the large muscle covering the outside of the hind quarter. If using bear, don't trim any fat.

BBQ BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Allow the brisket to come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Combine the salt, sugar, shallots, garlic powder, smoked paprika and cayenne in a small bowl to make a dry rub. Massage the rub into all sides of the meat, being sure to use it all. Lay the brisket on a sheet pan.
• Light a grill on low heat on one side, keeping the other side turned off; you should maintain a temperature of 250 to 300 degrees F the whole time you are grilling. Place the hickory chips in a foil pan. Cover with foil and cut slits in the top to release the smoke. Place the foil pan on the lit side of the grill. Place the brisket fat-side up on the turned-off side of the grill and close the cover. Cook, flipping a few times, until very tender but not falling apart and the center reaches about 200 degrees F, 3 to 4 hours. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes, then slice the brisket into thin slices across the grain. Serve over buttered toasted buns or with Corn Cakes and Crunchy Slaw.
• Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the wet ingredients.
• Whisk together the egg and buttermilk in a large mixing bowl. While whisking, pour in the melted butter and stir until combined. Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined. (Be sure not to overwork the batter.) Fold in the Cheddar, corn, if using, and chives.
• Place the skillet over medium heat and add enough butter to coat the bottom. Ladle about 1/2 cup batter into the pan, spreading gently to form a thick circle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip over and cook until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Melt a small pat of butter in the skillet in between each batch (this will help the corn cakes rise). Serve immediately, with more butter and maple syrup, if desired.
• Whisk together the mayo, dill, granulated sugar, vinegar, mustard, garlic powder, pepper and salt in a large bowl.
• Remove the stem from the broccoli and slice thinly, then add to the bowl. Cut the crown of the broccoli into small florets and add to the bowl, along with the cabbage and fennel. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing. Garnish with the fennel fronds.
• Serve immediately or store refrigerated in an airtight container. This recipe tastes even better the next day!

BARBECUE BRISKET

Steps:

• Season both sides of the brisket with Dry Rub and place in pan. Mix the lemon juice and water, and pour over the brisket. Let stand overnight in the refrigerator. Remove the brisket from the pan, reserving the marinade. Cook the brisket in a preheated 250-degree oven, 1 hour per pound. Baste with marinade and cover. Continue to cook the brisket at 250 degrees for another 1 1/2 hours or until tender.
• Mix all ingredients together and generously sprinkle on brisket prior to cooking.

BBQ BRISKET

Steps:

• Mix together the paprika, salt and pepper, sugar, and cayenne. Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the brisket in a large casserole or Dutch oven and pour the sauce over the top, hocks and all. Cover and cook until brisket is fork tender and can easily be shredded, about 3 hours. Transfer the brisket to a platter. Skim and discard the fat from the top of the sauce. Shred or thinly slice the brisket. Serve.

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, and crushed pepper and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Add the ham hocks, tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until deep red in color and has thickened, about 20 to 25 minutes. Adjust seasoning salt with pepper. Sauce will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

TEXAS BARBECUE BRISKET

Steps:

• To make the barbecue sauce, heat the oil in a frying pan, then cook onion and garlic for a few mins until soft. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients to the pan with a good pinch of salt and simmer for 20 mins. Use a hand blender or food processor to whizz to a smooth purée.
• Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Make the rub by mixing all the ingredients together with a pinch of salt. Rub the mix all over the beef and set aside.
• In a large roasting tin, mix the beef stock and ½ the barbecue sauce. Add the brisket to the tin, cover tightly with foil, then cook for 4-5 hrs until the meat is really tender when you push a fork into it. The beef can be prepared the night before - just leave it to cool in the tin covered with foil, but don't refrigerate.
• To finish the beef, get a barbecue fired up and wait until the coals are completely ashen - you want a low, not fierce, heat. Lift the beef out of the roasting tin and place on the barbecue to char. If your barbecue has a lid, close it now. Cook for about 20 mins, turning it carefully with tongs, until lightly charred all over and heated through. Lift onto a board and serve sliced with the remaining barbecue sauce on the side.
