Nilgai roast

[Roscoe]

Smoking a nilgai roast today. Probably 7 or 8lbs. I have no idea what internal temp to take it too. Just do it to around 200 like a butt or brisket?

200 seams way hot to me
I’d think somewhere around 145

I’d smoke at 240 degrees to a internal temp of 135 then wrap with real butter and rest

If it's lean like whitetail, I would try smoking at 225 degrees and pull when the roasts reach 145. That gets me medium rare on whitetail roasts.

Bringing this back up...anybody had any success smoking one? I've got a couple that I'm trying to figure out what to do with.

Thanks

You might consider putting in slow roaster or big crockpot with a little water for a few hours and then add cut quartered potatoes and carrots and some onion with seasoning. 30 minutes before done add a can or 2 of cream of mushroom soup.

I’ll definitely be doing that with one of them (I’ve got 3), but wanted to try to smoke one like a brisket as well, just to try it. Randomly, Joe Rogan posted this one today…



I asked him for the recipe, not sure I’ll get a response though

They're bovine, treat it like beef.

Right, but do I cook it like a brisket, or cook it like a ribeye??

Might try to sous vide the thing, then sear it.

I think its gonna keep cooking after you pull it from heat just like any roast or large cut of meat, carryover cooking. If you want a rare or medium rare like Rogans pic, then I would prolly pull it at 115-120 & cover it loosely while it rests, should bring it up to 135-140

Rogan reverse sears everything. I wouldn't smoke nilgai like a brisket due to the lack of intermuscular fat. I'd think it would be way to lean to take that far (200*). In for responses...

Yeah, I'm kinda thinking sous vide might be the way to go now.

I reverse sear mine and have had absolute perfection. I have never smoked one.
