Tips
- • For the most tender results, choose fresh, high-quality venison and trim away any excess fat or silver skin before cubing. • Pat the meat dry before seasoning to ensure better browning and flavor absorption. • Use a robust, slightly sweet barbecue sauce to complement the rich, gamey flavor of the venison. • Don't rush the cooking process—slow cooking is key to breaking down the meat's tough fibers and creating melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. • If the sauce seems too thick during cooking, you can add a small amount of beef broth or water to maintain moisture. • For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a clove of minced garlic or a splash of red wine to the sauce. • Let the dish rest after cooking to allow the flavors to meld and the meat to reabsorb its juices. • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and often taste even better the next day!
