Quick venison backstrap corned beef.
I didn't write anything down. Here's what I remember.
Grab your frozen 2 pound whole loin and put it in the pressure cooker. I used my Instant Pot.
Add enough spring water to cover and toss in 5-6 large bay leaves, a tablespoon of coriander, a few whole cloves, about a tablespoon and a half of mustard seed, a quarter cup of Morton Tender Quick, a tablespoon of whole white pepper corns, a dash of ground celery seed, a few ounces of liquid smoke and a pinch of sugar. No need to soak to cure. Plug in the PC and push the pressure cook button and the roast/stew button and increase the time to 44 minutes. Affix the lid and make sure the pressure lever is on closed. Turn the KEEP WARM off.
When the cycle is completed and the pressure released, put the meat on a platter to cool.

Take 2 large potatoes and dice them small to about the size of your pinky finger nail. Cook for 10-12 minutes in salted water until they are soft and drain them in a collander.

Slice the meat across the grain every half inch then crumble into a SS bowl. Add the cooled potatoes, a half table spoon of smoked paprika, a half teaspoon of granulated garlic, one big egg and some coarse ground black pepper. Fold the mix over and cut through it with a spatula several times until combined.
Delicious. Who needs to brine this stuff for days?

I'll try and add a photo tomorrow.
Peace.

Sorry. Camera battery was totally dead. But, the corned venison was excellent.

Sounds OK. I'm just not into that stuff. I usually roast the backstraps whole with some sweet red wine and other stuff or slice 'em and fry 'em in butter with S&P. Being fan of corned beef, I just wanted to experiment with something new with less chemical taste than store or restaurant stuff. Eat good.

Ray, I fed my boy's beaucoup of chicken fried venison backstrap as well as chicken fried round steak cut into strips with mashed potatoes + cream gravy. Makes me hungry just thinking about it.

I'd skip the white gravy for sure. It isn't good gravy unless it's brown gravy or chicken gravy made with real chicken drippings or unadulterated chicken stock concentrate like this stuff.

no BS ingredients

You will become hooked on it. We use it for gravies and sauces on beef, pork, turkey and chicken.

I think a great number of our tastes are due to what we were raised eating + there are vast differences across the country. Even the difference in the flavors of iced tea. I have friends from New England that preferred iced coffee over sweet tea. To each his own.

About the only thing I still crave from my days back at home are frizzled Seltzer's Lebanon sweet beef baloney (bologna), sweet wild meadow tea (hot with 50% cream) or cold and the fatty smoked hams from the local grocery store.

Good point on vast differences. Some out of state local favorites are Memphis hot fried chicken, Maryland style crabcakes, Tex Mex style Mexican food, etc.
Some are not so hot like White Castle slider burgers from Ohio, super sweet tea from the South, white mayo sauce over fried chicken, Carolina BBQ sauce that tastes like tobacco, Western rocky mountain oysters.

Hah. Actually, you're right Ray. Most food at home was under seasoned and bland. No Hatch chilis, no hot sauce +Dad always cooked the round steak to death and garlic was not allowed in the house.
