Hunt Down This Neck Roast BBQ Sandwich
- 4 to 6 pound neck, bone-in (use a whole venison neck or a 4- to 6-pound piece of elk or moose neck)
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2-3 quarts game stock or enriched stock (see above)
- 1/2 to 1 cup BBQ sauce
- Hamburger buns
- Bring the neck to room temperature.
- Season liberally with salt and pepper all over.
- Heat a large saute pan or roasting pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the oil.
- When the oil shimmers, swirl the pan to coat well.
- Sear the neck until its browned on all sides.
- Put the browned neck in a 6-quart slow cooker.
- Add enough stock just to cover the neck.
- Cover, set the slow cooker on low, and cook for a minimum of 6-8 hours, until fork tender.
- (Alternatively, use a 6- to 8-quart Dutch oven, and cook in a 300 degrees oven for 6-8 hours.)
- Keep checking to be sure its covered with liquid at all times.
- Youll know its done when it flakes into really nice pieces.
- Remove the meat from the liquid and start shredding.
- (Dont throw away the extra cooking liquid use it like stock.)
- The meat should shred like pulled pork.
- Toss with BBQ sauce and serve in soft hamburger buns with sliced pickles and potato chips on the side.
- A couple of spoonfuls of coleslaw on top of the meat is a great addition.
- Alternatively, you can store the meat in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
