BBQ Venison Roast

BBQ Venison Roast is a tender, delicious and flavorful meal to make with your fall harvest. A great alternative to the classic Sunday roast. 

Grilled Venison Roast is one of our favorites to make with the venison we have in the freezer. Thin sliced venison makes incredible sandwiches and is a delicious main coarse for any day of the week.

We have a whole family of hunters and love stocking the freezer with venison harvested from our family ranch. We have found cooking it on the grill turns out the most flavorful and tender and is enjoyed by the whole family.

These grilled Venison Teriyaki Meatballs are always a hit for a quick and easy party appetizer and everyone loves these Grilled Venison Chops with our brown sugar steak rub.

🔥 Ingredients Needed

• Venison Roast
• Olive Oil
• Steak Rub or your favorite dry rub seasoning
• Sweet and Tangy BBQ Sauce

🔥 Step By Step Instructions

1. Pat roast dry with paper towels and place on a rimmed baking sheet. 
2. Coat with olive oil and sprinkle with dry rub. 
3. Prepare a grill fire. We used the Big Green Egg ceramic grill with lump charcoal and pecan chunks for smoke flavor.
4. Cook roast over indirect fire with the grill lid closed. 
5. Continue cooking for 1 hour 30 minutes. Brush with a generous coating of bbq sauce and continue to cook until roast reaches desired doneness using a digital meat thermometer. We cooked this roast to about 200° and total cooking time was about 2 hours.
6. Tent with foil and rest 15 minutes.
7. Slice using a sharp knife and serve immediately.

🔥How to Store and Reheat

• Store leftover venison roast in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
• Reheat in a skillet coated with olive oil over medium heat, add additional bbq sauce if desired. Turn after a few minutes and continue to cook until heated through.
