When cooking fresh venison we want to highlight the flavour of the wild game, without overpowering it or having the dreaded “gamey” flavour. This dry rub is made from a small collection of spices you probably already have in your cupboards and is simple yet supremely delicious when on venison steaks, roasts, and burgers.
Take the flavour of your meat up a notch with this dry rub next time you’re smoking, grilling or slow-roasting. Use all the ingredients or customize it to your taste.
