Chinese Style Elk Barbecue w/Fried Rice

No this is not a typical tomato based barbecue, this has a far East flare with lots of spices and flavors. Add the fried rice and you have a full meal.

I used a front shoulder clod from an elk on this one. This can be a tougher cut of meat so a 24 hour marinade soak, injection and a slow smoke on the RecTec was in order for this one.

All of our outside cooking is done on RecTec Grills and we use Made With Meat equipment for all of our wild game processing.

2 Pound venison shoulder roast

Marinade Ingredients:

  • 1T Fresh Chopped Ginger
  • 3T Green Onion
  • 1/4C Soy Sauce
  • 1C Water
  • 1T Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1Tsp Chinese 5 Spice

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1/2C Grape Jelly (Trust me, it’s good)
  • 1/4C Ketchup
  • White Wine 3T

Stir-Fry Ingredients: (There are many options for stir-fry, so be creative. This is what we used)

  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Jalapeno (Deseeded and sliced)
  • 1/2 Red Bell Pepper
  • 1/2 Red Onion
  • Baby Carrots (chopped)
  • 3T Soy Sauce
  • 1/2tsp Sesame Oil

Method Marinade/Roast:

  • Mix all ingredients together
  • Pour over venison shoulder and let marinate for 24 hours
  • Use portion of marinade to inject venison (reserve rest of marinade for later)
  • Pat dry and cover with a favorite seasoning (We used RecTecs Asian Persuasion)
  • Heat a cast iron skillet on high with enough oil to coat the bottom of pan
  • Sear all sides of venison until you get a nice caramelization.
  • Turn smoker on low 180F to 200F (If you do not have a smoker this can be braised in marinade juices with a Crock-pot or roasting pan)
  • If using smoker, leave directly on rack for 2 hours
  • Pour remaining marinade in tin pan and place roast in pan, cover with foil and continue to cook until internal temp reaches 140F
  • You can turn temp up to 250 if you don’t have the time for a slower cook.

Method Stir Fry

  • Precook rice to direction on package. (We like to use chicken or beef stock instead of water, add an additional 1/4 cup if not using water)
  • Use stir fry vegetables of your choice. (We chopped up, baby carrots, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeno and pineapple. We also added fried egg)
  • Heat pan on med/high, add oil and fry two eggs with yolk broken. Set aside on cutting board
  • Add more oil to pan for stir-fry
  • Add your stir-fry vegetables to hot pan along with 1 clove of garlic
  • Add rice to pan along with egg, soy sauce and sesame oil
  • Mix and heat through

Sauce Method:

  • Mix all ingredients together in sauce pan
  • Bring to a boil until jelly is liquified
  • Set to side
  • Tips:
  • Slice venison against the grain
  • Plate fried rice top with venison and drizzle with sauce
  • You can also chop venison and mix with fried-rice
  • Be sure to let venison rest after pulling from heat source, so juices distribute
