Venison Rack with Wild Herb Butter for some familiar flavors on a new protein. We haven’t done much venison on this channel, so let’s talk about it for a second. Like most game meat, venison is a very lean meat. For this reason, we want to cook it slowly (careful not to overcook it) so that it’s tender when we go to serve the dish. Low and slow is the perfect game for a smoker, so that’s exactly what I did for this Venison Rack with Wild Herb Butter recipe.
