    Hunk of Caribou

    My son brought home a big hunk of Caribou from a friend who was hunting in Canada. I'm not sure what "cut" of meat the hunk is. Any ideas on the best way to prepare? Can I smoke it like I do a brisket?

    Odds are it will be pretty lean, which does not lend it'self to low and slow without a lot of added moisture. As much as we all like to smoke/bbq stuff, unless you could identify it as a piece of backstrap, I would do an old fashioned pot roast in a dutch oven.

      I'd treat it like a deer neck, round, chuck. Brown it and pot roast that sucker.

        Thanks for the suggestions. One other idea I had was to use it to make Meatheads recipe for Texas chili. What do you think about that?

          Big Jim, I agree with the others the Meat is likely Lean! While it necessary to bring game to Temp like Pork I would caution against over cooking? I don't have a good reference for you other than Google? Good Luck! Eat Well and Prosper! Dan

            Danjohnston949 Other than the possibility of trichinosis in boar, bear or cougar, I'm unaware of a need to take game (at least cervids) to a temp past medium rare. Am I missing something?

          One thing that makes a huge difference is the age of The animal , typically most people go for the big glorious mature male which are usually tough as nails. if they're good meat Hunter they would've taken a young animal but either way it's a huge difference. Grill up a small piece medium medium rare and You will know real quick. If it is old then I agree with braising, pot roast, chile, stew all works well. Ground meat also works well just make sure if you're cooking patties that you cook them to at least medium.
