Grilled Venison Rack With Honey Brown Lager Raspberry Sauce
I haven't tried this recipe yet - I'm saving it here for the day a hunter friend brings me some "wild" meat - or I splurge by purchasing some farm-raised game at Black Angus. This recipe is a favourite of Ted Reader "King of the Q"! Timing doesn't include 2 hours to marinate.
