What's for dinner tonight?

[Brent S]

Im cooking a deer roast today, feel like something new. I was wondering if some of you hunters like DrHenley have a favorite recipe? Its about a 5.5 pound roast.

Jerky is still my favorite for deer. Any slow roasted tender meat surrounded with vegetables is a good thing though. I like to take most roasts and coat with olive oil and pepper, garlic, and onion powder. Then sear on all sides in an oiled pan before slow roasting. I ALWAYS use a thermometer to keep from over cooking too. Vegetables usually go in somewhere halfway done.

I make steaks out of what most people would call roasts. Or either grind it or smoke it if it's too tough.

Deer roasts tend to get very dry if cooked like a beef roast because of the lack of marbled fat. I have tried injecting olive oil, but haven't done it enough to know how well it really works. You might call my coffee rubbed venison "roasts" but I cut it in 1.5-2" diameter strips for that. The rub keeps it moist. I have also smoked roasts using the coffee rub.

Of course, you can always wrap it in bacon.

I was wondering why on earth people would give their perfectly good high quality stainless pots to Goodwill. But then it struck me...

They must be hand-me-downs and the people only know how to cook in Teflon. So they gave them away to make room for their super duper teflon coated aluminum pots. I mean, these stainless pots are made to last for generations!

Our once super duper (now not so super duper) teflon coated aluminum pots, on the other hand, are getting thrown away to make room for the stainless pots.

The nonstick pans don't last.

"Mange tout" refers to both sugar snap peas (Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon) which are fat,

And snow peas (Pisum sativum var. saccharatum) which are skinny.

Those are good, we eat them fresh as a snack.

I am thankful that I like beans. Good for you and cheap. The only legume that I didn't care for was lentils, don't know why, they just didn't suit me. I love splitpeas, pinto, red, navy, all sorts of others.

McCormick has a new "Beef and Broccoli" seasoning mix we're trying out tonight. Basically stir frying up some sliced (and seasoned/marinated) London Broil, broccoli florets, onions and mushrooms. Serving it over rice. Will circle back and let you know how it is.

It's odd, normally, I don't like beans. Yet I do enjoy a good 15 bean soup (add some diced ham or bacon, diced onions, and some extra seasoning (a little garlic salt, some Vegeta, and a little smokehouse pepper).

my favourite beans are broad beans.

Being a true Son of the South, my favorite beans are butter beans (Baby Lima Beans to you Yankees and furriners)
My favorite peas are pink eyed purple hulls (a type of black eyed peas that are actually edible) Those are hard to find so I don't get them very often.

And yes I ate some butter beans today

Butter Beans by Little Jimmy Dickens (To the tune of "Just a Closer Walk with Thee")

Just a bowl of butter beans
Pass the cornbread if you please
I don't want no collard greens
All I want is a bowl of butter beans.

Just a piece of country ham
Pass the butter and the jam
Pass the biscuits if you please (U.S. biscuits are soft quick bread, somewhat akin to an unsweetened soft scone)
And some more o' them good ol' butter beans.

Red eye gravy is all right
Turnip sandwich a delight
But my children all still scream
For another bowl of butter beans.

Some folks think that cornpones best
Some likes grits more than the rest
But if I was a man of means
I'd just want them good ol' butter beans.

See that Lady over there
With the curlers in her hair
She's not pregnant as she seems
She's just full o' them good ol' butter beans.

When they lay my bones to rest
Place no roses upon my chest
Plant no blooming evergreens
All I want is' a bowl of butter beans.

Just a bowl of butter beans
Pass the cornbread if you please
I don't want no collard greens
All I want is' a bowl of butter beans.

I cooked my deer roast. I seasoned it with black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, olive oil, stuffed with garlic. I browned it and let it simmer until I could break it apart with big fork. Then I added 2 cups beef stock, turnips and red potatoes, a few bay leaf to simmer for 30 minutes, then added more seasoning, carrots, celery, sweet onions, bell peppers, Brown gravy mix with another cup of beef stock and simmer for another 20 minutes. Its looking good, I have chucks of roast that I will take out and cut up, then put back in.

The 15 bean soup is awesome! I vacuum packed a bunch of mason jars of the stuff.
