Not a big fan of venison-still makes me think of Bambi-I know,crazy. I do have a friend that brings me some from time to time & believe me I do eat it. I'm not digging a coal pit tho-have to do it inside. Nice recipe. Thanks.


Wow Trout.....do you think this would work in the slow cooker? Or slow roasted in the oven? What temp do you suppose? I want to surprise my hubby! We have plenty of brandy on hand to give this one a good whirl. Let me know on the other cooking procedures? Thanks for the great post!


If you sauteed in a skillet ahead of time..and then threw it in a roaster or crock pot...it should come off close right...the thing about a fire pit outdoors is the lazy fall day .....tw


Hey Trout,

This sounds great, a must try for me. I love being outdoors in the fall. Especially cooking something over a fire. Thumbs up
