Sorry if this is a little off topic, but I'm assuming alot people in this
group would be proficient at cooking wild game.

How should I cook this? I was thinking of getting a packet of onion soup
mix, some onions, mushrooms and a green pepper or two (I once made some
pork chops like this that turned out pretty damn good). Baking it in oven
at ??? degrees..... I've never cooked anything like this. I'm assuming it
would be safe to cook it at like 350 degrees or something and just keep
temping it until it reaches 160 degrees.

hmmmmm, a side of asparagus, a baked potato, maybe some corn on the
cob.....This could be a really good meal! I just don't want to screw up the
neck roast.

I am tempted to try marinating it in my home-made jalapeno wine, but it's
probably to thick to marinade. Maybe I can buy a syringe and inject the
wine into it while cooking it? Maybe I can make a gravy out of the wine and
the onion soup mix?

Any ideas/recipes would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Robert (the failing vegetarian with a freezer full of venison) LOL!

Venison varies widely by region. Here in NC, our deer eat corn, soybeans,
and peanuts, so they're extremely tender. I generally just throw the steaks
on the grill to sear them and serve medium rare. In other parts of the
world, they might be living on acorns and browse, so the meat can be a bit
more gamey. How it was handled after it was harvested will have a lot to do
with the quality of the meat as well.

Either way, the neck roast will be a tougher cut than other cuts you might
get. Be careful not to overcook -- there's not much fat in the meat so it
will get rather tough. If you're not up for Q'ing it, try a crock pot and
let it go low and slow.

I, of course, am partial to my "Greg's Happy Sauce" on venison because
that's what it was originally developed for, but onion soup mix, wine,
onions, peppers, and anything else you want to throw in will do well. Try
putting a few cloves of garlic in with the meat as well.
