Recipe Instructions:
- Begin by heating the water in a large pot until it reaches a rolling boil.
- Once boiling, remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- In a bowl, combine the canning salt, Morton Tender Quick salt, sugar, bay leaves, and garlic cloves.
- Place the venison in a large ziplock bag, ensuring to remove as much air as possible before sealing it shut.
- Carefully pour the brine mixture into the bag with the venison, ensuring that it is completely submerged.
- Seal the bag tightly and place it in the refrigerator for a marinating period of 5 days, turning the bag over once each day to ensure even brining.
- After the marinating period, it’s time to cook the corned venison. You have two options:
- Option 1 (Pressure Cooker): Cook the venison in a pressure cooker for 30 minutes, or until tender.
- Option 2 (Stove Top): Alternatively, you can boil the venison on the stove top for 3-4 hours until it reaches the desired level of tenderness.
- Once cooked, allow the corned venison to cool slightly before slicing it thinly.
- Serve the tender slices of corned venison on your favorite bread, accompanied by sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing for delicious Venison Reuben sandwiches.
Tips:
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding additional spices such as peppercorns, mustard seeds, and coriander seeds to the brine mixture.
- Ensure the venison is fully submerged in the brine during the marinating process to achieve maximum flavor absorption.
- Store any leftover corned venison in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze it for longer storage.
Now, savor the succulent taste of homemade Corned Venison and delight your taste buds with each flavorful bite! 🍽️
