Me being a lifelong deer hunter I sure do appreciate Matt showing this method, I have a ham and a roast in the freezer right now I've been wondering what to do with! And I have all those ingredients too. Not to complicated, I like that.
@@CelebratingAppalachia i figure it have to be good. Butter makes everything better. Bacon well in Emril's words "Pork fat rules!" Add those together and toss in the old bay, you caint loose! Its gonna be yummilicious.
I don’t like pepper or eat red meat but I can sure appreciate someone processing, cooking and providing for his family with a deer he got himself. Nice video Matt!
It's nice to see someone stressing the importance of removing ALL the silver skin from venison before cooking! I always say that people who think deer meat tastes gamey just haven't had it processed properly. I'm thankful hubby (and now our oldest son) know how to properly process the deer they harvest so it always tastes great without me having to go through a million extra steps when I'm cooking it trying to get the gamey taste out.
I'm from Australia, but through the music of Jean Ritchie I've found a fascination and enjoyment of Appalachian culture. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and traditions! Hopefully I can make this for my own family this Christmas even though I'm halfway across the world
THANK YOU, MATT. There is no feeling or sigh of relief as when the freezer is full and 'the store' is in for the coming Winter. If we can harvest from the hunt, it's doubly satisfying. I'll be doing the methods here to get the venison tender, moist and less gamey. Also, THANKS TO THOSE GONE FROM US for passing down and paying forward the many HOW-TO'S our families still enjoy.
Matt makes that look so easy and the cooking is the easiest part, but you should see him when he's cleaning the deer meat. When I say cleaning, I mean when he is preparing the meat for the freezer. He is miraculous in cleaning the meat and removing all connective tissue and the film that covers the muscles and that is why his end product is so good!
yumm matt as a hunter i know how fun deer hunting is, after that trigger pulled the work begins, its so worth it, i have a 7mm i haven't shot in years, it puts the food on the table, the 1st deer i ever killed i took his heart and fried it in butter and made biscuits,
Hi, this year I finally learned to love deer meat by trying new recipes from the deer my husband harvested and I butchered. I also learned silver skin can break down through long braising and makes the meat feel less lean. I've slow braised stew cuts and shanks by making venison bourguignon in the dutch oven with beef broth and merlot wine. Braising is a wonderful method and made the meat taste like beef.
OH MY MY, No doubt I'd shut my mouth from talking till I was done eating, YUMMY!!! And trust me, it's very rare that I keep my mouth shut much! THANKS GOD BLESS
Last week a friend gifted us a huge portion of venison. It's been 50 years since I cooked any and then I just floured and fried it. It was stored over ice in an ice chest for a week to tenderize and remove gaminess. I stuck large 3-4 pound chunks of meat into gallon freezer bags to store until I had time to cook them. I opened my laptop to search out some recipes just now and at the top of the YT videos was this one. Talk about great timing. Your recipe looks wonderful, the resulting meat looked delicious, and it will be the first recipe I try. Thanks so much!
I would get up at four am put the stuffed turkey in the oven, low heat, go back to bed and wake up with the amazing smell of roasting turkey. Sure be nice to have a venison roast. No one I know hunts here in CT! Like the way Matt makes this. Raising the arm high to distribute the spices evenly.
Yummy yum! That looked absolutely delicious Matt! I was hoping to taste it through the camera.., but that didn’t work. Lol. You made it look so easy! Thank you so much for showing us! Be Blessed! 😇
Good job, Matt. I don’t care for deer meat, but that looks so good I would have to try it! While you were talking, and when I could see your eyes, I immediately thought that Corie surely does have those same eyes. Both twins are a really good mix of the both of you. I have twin nieces, Cathie and Carrie. Yesterday they were 51!! I can’t believe it. Corie and Katie remind me of them so much when they start goofing around. Such precious girls. Blessings always. 🙏🏼❣️♥️❣️🙏🏼
That reminds me of what I do for Christmas. I do a stuffed Deer stuffed onion or the grill. I use Nutmeg and cinnamon. good deer and some ground beef for fat. That looks fantastic!
I love pepper too! I find it interesting that you use Old Bay. Going up in Appalachia with a family full of hunters, there was always deer meat being used in many ways! But now living in the south for 35+ years, I never heard of Old Bay until I moved here. Sounds DELICIOUS!!!
I like seeing the man of the family doing some of the cooking,good job Matt. When mom wasn't home Dad would usually make chilli and he was heavy handed with the red pepper.My 3 brothers were all great cooks too. God Bless. Jean
I just love the way you clean your dear man maybe that's what I need someone here in our County to do for us if you have it cleaned good then it would taste a whole lot better and you have everything so nice and clean around you and it looks so delicious I wished I was there to help you all enjoy it also thank you and your family for sharing everything you do
Looks delicious! We have trouble eating much deer around here. They are graze on winter wheat and that doesn’t give them a good flavor. If you kill a deer that’s eaten a lot of corn and grass, it tastes better to us. Thanks Matt for the lesson. Looks like a good idea to give it a try!
I do something very similar, including the Old Bay. Suggestion: try adding some apricot preserves on top in place of the honey (or whatever tart fruit you have...I know you all grow and can a lot of your own stuff). I'd love to see more wild game recipes of yours. I've been looking for more and more old world/old American game recipes and have started exploring some of the recipes from Germany, Austria, Hungary etc. Any of the mountainous countries with hunting traditions have similar deer recipes. I probably turn half of my deer into goulasch. So good. Just add onions and paprika to what you did here, then remove the meat and reduce the liquid, and you've pretty much got yourself some goulasch. You might also enjoy watching Scott Rea on youtube. He's a traditional style butcher in northern England -- much of the same cuisine as Appalachian cooking. He has a few cookbooks out now. He's all about eating and enjoying the whole game animal -- everything from deer to opossoms to crows to pheasants and rabbits.
I accidentally stumbled across this recipe and I'm glad I did because that's what I'm cooking tonight and I'm going to use your recipe. I forgot about this recipe I did it last year and it turned out really good and I'm going to do it again.
I'm a late arrival to this particular video, but I had to watch it because Matt always has great ideas regarding the nuts and bolts of game cuisine. This recipe is a perfect example of what I mean. Beautiful deer meat, butter, garlic, bacon, honey and spices. Heaven on a plate! (And a great accompaniment for black pepper! ) 😆🤣😅
Honey is one of those foodstuffs that does not spoil. It has been used for its antibacterial properties for hundreds of years. That deer meat looks amazing
My late husband's doctor and his wife (also a doctor) and their 5 kids eat mostly deer. His mother and I were teachers together for about 10 years. He hunted on our farm.
I cook mine about the same way. I leave the hind quarter whole and season real good, I like a lot of garlic on mine, then wrap in the cheapest bacon I can find, and cook on 250° till it falls apart.
Matt made this look so good! Gonna have to try his recipe. Oh yea I’m a black pepper kind of guy as well, I like a little deer meat with my pepper lol 😂🦌🦌👍🏻 Thanks for sharing!
My husband and I hunted deer and elk for 30 years , we tried all kind of ways to cook deer but it was always tough , wish I knew how to cook it years ago ( he's passed on now ) maybe this will help someone else though I did learn that if you soak deer steak in salt water for 30 minutes that it taste good gets some of the game taste out love your videos !! Gl. Az. 🐦
I would eat that with you! We have almost the same Dutch Oven, ours has spikey drip points on the underside of the lid. It's super old and passed down. We figured out it's over 150 years old.
I just put my deer ham in the oven, I'm very excited to try it. I didn't have any Old Bay so I used seasoning salt, onion powder, pepper and I did all the other recommendations. I'm looking forward to eating it!
It came out delicious!! I will definitely be using this recipe again. I am going to follow your channel. My husband is an avid hunter and we eat mostly venison. I am always looking for new recipes. I'm so happy to have found your channel!
I put a deer ham in the oven super early this morning and used Matt’s recipe! Very excited to see how it turns out. My husband and oldest son both deer hunt now. Since we hopefully will have more deer meat to enjoy, I’m looking for new recipes to add to our stockpile. Thanks a ton!
This looks like a something you'd see in a gourmet cookbook! A sure winner. Now I have to admit to my husband I don't know what the "ham" is, before I can make this for him😅
I do believe I've learned a new way to cook it. I just pierce it with garlic, wrap it in Bacon, rest it on onion, potatoes, and carrots. I do believe sometime, i will give this way a try. I do love old bay.
I think I would pierce the roast with a knife most of the way through to get the flavors deep into the meat, but I'm sure this venison preparation tastes really really really good - I might try this with some goat or if I get an oryx hunt in southern NM.
That's a delicious looking pot of venison there Matt. Thank you for sharing the way you cook it. I don't hunt anymore but I'll pass this on to my friend Jimmy who does. I think he's killed about 6 deer this year.So far!

Thank you Roland. I hope he can do more 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia He did a good job I, hope he will do more videos with you!
Matt's like me: We like a little food on our black pepper. :)
😀 That's the truth-he loves pepper 😀

Thank you Mr. Matt, I will never forget this
Hope you enjoy it! Thank you for watching 😀
That looked absolutely delicious! Matt has proven himself to be quite the chef in this and other videos. Thank you for sharing.
An old country lady I used to know would roast a venison front shoulder and use it to make venison salad which was kind of like ham salad.
that's our usual main dish at the church supper after the Christmas Vigil.
mmm! mmm!
It is so good 😀 Thank you for watching!!
I never would have considered Old Bay. Sounds very interesting. Got one deer roast left in the freezer. Gonna give it a try! Thank y'all!!
I hope you like it as much as we do Tina 😀
Thanks Matt. I’m going to try it on a deer neck I’ve got in the freezer. You can teach an old dog a new trick. You just proved it with me👏
Thank you for this recipe! That looks so delicious! I am definitely going to try it!! 🥰
So easy but so good 😀
Cannot wait to try this recipe!! Thanks Tipper and Matt!
Looks awesome, the bacon, butter, garlic, honey and old Bay sounds like great seasoning for this Venison Roast. Yum yum.

Thank you Rhonda -it is really good 😀
My granny used to braise roasts like that. She used beef suet or tallow. It smelled so good in her house.
When he cooks it all night we wake up to that wonderful smell 😀
Well that looks magnificent! Thank you Matt and Tipper.
