Thank you all for coming back. I will say again that this is NOT just for venison but you can use this on beef as well and I sure it will work on other items as well. How about whiskey brown sugar glazed carrot? Why not?

Sorry about the quality of the video towards the end. I accidentally shot those section in slo-mo and converting back did not have the resolution.

The propane tank being empty was my second flaw. So check your tank before you make plans! LOL

Venison
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup whiskey, such as Jack Daniels
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 8-10 inch venison back strap

DIRECTIONS
Preheat sous vide bath to 130 degrees.

Whisk together the whiskey, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper until the sugar and salt are dissolved.Stir in 2 tablespoons of the oil and the garlic.

Add the venison, turn a few times to coat with the marinade and let stand at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.

Remove the venison from the marinade and add to sous vide or ziplock bag and add a spoonful or two of the marinade. Vacuum seal or seal ziplock removing as much of the air as possible.

Add to bath for 4 hours.

Pour the marinade into a small pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 to 10 minutes until slightly reduced, making sure the sugar does not burn, to make a glaze and sauce for the steak.

Sear the venison on a very hot grill or in a screaming hot cast iron pan brushing the boiled marinade on it while it sears for only 15-30 seconds as the internal temp is already done. Set aside and slice when ready. Drizzle the marinade over the meat.

Potatoes
INGREDIENTS
1 pound Yukon gold or red potatoes cut into bite size pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dried parsley

Put potatoes in a medium pot. Cover with cold water to cover by 1-inch and add salt until the water tastes like sea water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender (but not falling apart), about 15 minutes. Drain well. Let dry for a few minutes from their own heat in the drainer and add to a bowl.Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Add potatoes to a hot pan on high and keep them moving until the edges are as crisp as you would like them. Add salt and pepper while stirring.

Toss the potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.

Server the, and enjoy!
