The BEST Venison French Dip

Warm, thinly sliced smoked venison piled high on a roll with onions and dipped into arguable the best part, the au jus. This recipe should already have you drooling by now.

French dip has been a year round favorite for me but I’ve always felt my recipe was not 100% perfect. Something was missing. The missing link for me, was the added smoky flavor the venison gets from the smoker. I’ve finally created a recipe my taste buds are satisfied with and I’m going to be making it again and again this year. The simple seasoning combination of salt, pepper and garlic and the Dijon mustard complement the smoky flavor of the venison so well. It’s so good, you might want double it so you have leftovers.

Smoked Venison French Dip

Let’s Get Right Into It

Making this recipe is actually pretty simple and can be prepped and on the smoker in as little as 15 minutes. The first thing we’ll need to do is prep the au jus. It’s a simple combination of thinly sliced onions, minced garlic, and a better than bullion beef based broth. As the venison cooks on a wire rack above the au jus, its juices are going to drip right into our aluminum pan and add so much flavor. Speaking of our smoked venison, to prep our venison roast for the smoker, all we need to do is lather it in Dijon mustard that will act as a binder for our simple spice combination of salt, pepper and garlic powder. Then it’s just a waiting game for our venison to be cooked to your desired temperature, either rare or medium rare for best results.

Substitutions

  • Venison– the term “venison” technically refers to the meat from any game animal including deer, elk, caribou, etc. Use any type of venison you have on hand or swap for chuck or rump roast for something more commercially available.
  • Dijon Mustard– swap with regular mayo or with your other favorite binder, like mayo. All will change the taste but still leave a delicious end result.
  • Beef Bullion Base– Beef Stock will work if it’s all you have on hand.
