Purely Primal is just over two years old now. Follow this link to take a look back at some of the earliest recipes posted here – ones that we still make on a regular basis in our kitchen.
This recipe is another one that uses the “low and slow” method to bring a cut of lean game meat to perfect medium-rare while keeping it tender and moist all the way through. A home-ground chile powder rub takes center stage for the seasoning, and cooking on a pellet or charcoal grill with plenty of wood smoke adds another dimension that is hard to resist. Also note that this recipe is for two cuts of meat – totaling about five pounds – as we were having company for dinner and I wanted plenty of leftovers for lunch. If you want to do this with a single cut for smaller portions, simply reduce the rub amounts proportionally. Cooking time shouldn’t change too much, but keep an eye on the thermometer for the second phase of cooking to keep from over-heating.
