Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons sugar-based curing mixture (such as Morton® Quick Cure®)

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, or as needed

  • 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper, or as needed

  • 1 tablespoon paprika

  • 1 tablespoon crushed bay leaf

  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 5 pounds venison rump roast

Directions

  1. Whisk together curing mixture, brown sugar, pepper, paprika, bay leaf, allspice, and garlic powder in a bowl. Rub mixture over venison roast, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Place roast in a bowl; refrigerate for 5 days.

  2. Remove roast from the refrigerator and rinse thoroughly to remove the curing mixture. Place in a bowl with water to cover, and soak, refrigerated, for 2 hours. Drain.

  3. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).

  4. Season roast with additional black pepper and brown sugar, and place in a roasting pan.

  5. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until a meat thermometer inserted near the center reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 2 hours.
