#Venison bacon qview how to
We have some ideas on how to make this more like pork bacon, but for now, this is our go to for BLTs and any other dish that requires crispy bacon. It has everything but the silky fattiness that makes bacon such a unique ingredient. The end product is smoky, salty, and crispy, with a hint of sweetness. Turn pan upside down and drop meat on oven rack. Chill overnight or place in freezer for 3 hours. Heat a couple tablespoons olive oil in a large sauté pan over. Press and pack meat in pan good and firm. Generously season venison steaks with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Place in 9 x 11 pan sprayed with non-stick spray (like Pam), lined with a sheet of wax paper in the bottom. We both know that using a lean red meat instead of pork will not result in a direct replacement for bacon, but the goal isn't to replace it- it’s to replicate some of the characteristics that we love. Add cure to water, mix 4-6 minutes or until meat is tacky. This recipe is an attempt to get that salty, smoky, crispy eating experience out of a protein that is almost the opposite of pork. We have contemplated going out of state to hunt pigs, but there are so many other hunts we want to go on that the pigs always take a back seat. Virginia does have some feral hog populations, but they are generally isolated and between the landowners and the state agencies, they seem to get taken care of before they become problems. I followed the directions on the seasoning pack of 80 lean venison and 20 ground pork with fat (pork is at about 83/17 of meat/fat). This is also my first attempt at any GFB, so I am only doing 5 pounds total in case I mess it up. Rachel and I have discussed it at length, but the one protein we miss not having around the house is pork. This is for ground formed bacon (GFB) not whole meat sliced bacon. It's smoky and super salty like most cheap bacon. The bacon is crispy, like, “you have to dust yourself off when you get out of the truck”, crispy. We mix it up, but usually both end up ordering the same thing- 2 BLTs on white bread with mayo. Virginia ham, deviled eggs, fresh cookies and some seasonal offerings make it a perfect lunch stop after a goose hunt or when we are gassing up the boat or truck on our way further east. There is a gas station a few miles from the farm that has an awesome deli counter.
