Recipes From Living the American Backwoods Cabin Life

BBQ Pulled Venison


We keep the neck roasts of the deer we harvest and I used two of them in this delicious recipe. When processing a deer, trying to get the meat off a neck roast for grinding purposes can be time consuming. So I shrink wrap them whole and put them in the freezer. I love using this recipe because the cooked meat literally falls off the bones and is perfect alone or on sandwich rolls. And it makes the house smell oh-so-yummy. This recipe makes a large amount of pulled venison, 12 - 16 servings, but it disappears quickly at our house.

The full recipe will be at the bottom of this post including a link for you to print it out if you'd like.


First you need about 4 pounds of venison roast and a large Dutch oven pot..

Brown roasts on all sides in 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.


In a separate large saucepan, saute chopped onions in 2 tablespoons of cooking oil until they are tender.


Add 1 cup ketchup, 1 cup beef broth, 2/3 cup chili sauce, 1/4 cup cider vinegar, 


1/4 cup packed brown sugar,


3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce,


2 tablespoons mustard,


2 tablespoons molasses,


2 tablespoons lemon juice,


1 teaspoon salt,


1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and then...

Drum roll please!


1 tablespoon liquid smoke.

A must!


Bring it all to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.


Carefully, pour the sauce over the venison roasts.


Cover, then pop it in a preheated 325 degree oven for 2 hours.


After 2 hours take it out of the oven...mmm....


and carefully turn the roasts over.

Cover, then return the pot to the oven for another 2 hours or until the meat is very tender. 

Take the roasts out of the pan and shred them on a baking sheet or in a cake pan. Discard the neck bones. Return the shredded meat to the sauce. Stir it up and serve on sandwich rolls of your choice.


Oh, so delicious on a cool, almost Fall day!
