Smoked Venison Roast Recipe

Ingredients:

5-6 pound venison roast
1 cup salt
1 cup sugar
5 Tablespoons black pepper
1 Tablespoon sage
1 Tablespoon ground cloves
1 Tablespoon tarragon
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 Tablespoon thyme
2 bay leaves

Procedure:

Combine all the ingredients except the venison roast in a large bowl. Add about 2 quarts water. Stir vigorously until all salt and sugar are dissolved and ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

Puncture the roast over and over again with a fork in order to let the marinade fully permeate the meat. Place the meat in the bowl making sure the roast is completely covered with the marinade. Let stand in refrigerator for about 4 days. Turn the meat once per day.

Remove the roast from the marinade and let stand for an hour or so to fully drain.

Place the roast in a smoker or cooker and follow the directions included on the smoker. Cook slowly until the internal temperature of the meat reads at least 165° F on your meat thermometer.

When done slice meat into thin slices and serve immediately.
