We did this recipe with 4 lbs Moose and slow cooked high for 4 hours - TENDER! TASTY! MMMMMMMMM Only wandering what the amount of measurement was for the worcestershire sauce??? I used 1/4 tsp ? I omitted steps 2,10,11,12 and just served au jus!

I have made this twice with Caribou and love it. I will not use any other BBQ sauce again. Outstanding!!!!

We eat a lot of venison in our house and I am always looking for new ways to serve it. Unfortunately, this isn't exactly what I was hoping for. BBQ led me to believe it would be a bit tangy, but I didn't feel this had much of a BBQ taste. The onions overpowered the venison. I even added only one onion, and they were still too overpowering, and we even like onions :) I could see where this recipe would be really good with a really "gamey" piece of meat as the onions would disguise the game flavor. We did enjoy it, hence the 4 stars, but it wasn't quite what we were looking for. I served this with Parmesan-mustard Mashed Potatoes Parmesan-mustard Mashed Potatoes and they seemed to be a nice mix in flavors. Thanks a bunch! :)
