Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Pulled Moose...Mmmm!

Learnt something a year or two ago about cooking meat....after hearing/reading about pulled pork stuff here on the campfire.

Anyway, I took a pound and a half of gifted moose loin, sliced it into 1/4" slices, added it together with half a chopped sweet onion. Just threw them into a kettle with a tight lid and put it on the stove on low heat, just a slosh of olive oil together with the onion moisture to keep things from burning while the meat juices seeped into the pan. That meat juice seems to be the ticket- rather than added water- for keeping the meat moist instead of dry; that and keeping the heat low.

Then it was off to work for a few hours.

After 4 hours or so, I threw in a few whacks of green leek tops and a couple handfuls of whole fresh mushrooms (the better for the boys to sort out- since they don't like 'em). A nice slosh of good teriyaki went in around this time as well to simmer until the added stuff was done about right.

A boiling pot of water was ready for a package of pad thai (rice) noodles which were simmered for the requisite 2-3 minutes and all was thrown together thereafter.

I am happy to say that wild meat which is sometimes critiqued for being tough or dry really turns out well when steeped for a few hours in it's own juices on very low heat.

I pressure canned 6 cases recently. It's all about the broth . . .

We use a pressure cooker too for doing pulled BBQ with rib meat. Oh so goooooood.

Neck meat, rib meat, and most of the trimmings get chunked up or coarse ground and canned. Use it for chili, stews, sandwich meat, or straight out of the jar.

Most get just salt & pepper, some get other spices like Italian Seasoning, garlic, crushed red pepper, or Rosemary.

Crock Pot.

Yep; very low on the stove top is as close to crockpot as one can get without having a crockpot. Low and slow is the way I mentioned, not to be confused with fast and hot which is what pressure-cooking does. And no ribs come close to well-layered fat moose ribs if you can get 'em before they do their fall diet. Hours in the oven at very low heat produces some really fine eats.

You're on to something Mark
