Instructions

  • Slather the venison rack with oil, ensuring it is evenly coated.
  • Generously season the rack with the Chipotle Coffee Rub, making sure to cover the entire rack.
  • Add the rack to an ANOVA sealable back with butter, thyme and rosemary. Seal and decompress the bag.
  • Set the ANOVA Precision Cooker Pro to 128.5°F (57°C).
  • Place the bag with the seasoned venison rack into the cooker. Cook the rack for 2 to 3 hours. Avoid exceeding 4 hours for ideal results.
  • Once the sous vide process is complete, remove the venison rack from the cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • While the steak is cooking, mix together all the ingredients for the Cowboy Butter in a bowl.
  • Preheat a grill or open flame to high heat (around 400F)
  • Sear the venison rack over the high heat for 1.5 to 2 minutes, ensuring all sides are crusted. Remove the rack from the heat once it is seared to perfection.
  • Spoon the Cowboy Butter over the Coffee Crusted Venison Rack, allowing it to melt and enhance the flavors. Alternatively, serve the Cowboy Butter on the side for dipping if preferred.
  • Slice, serve with some roasted potatoes + bacon wrapped asparagus and enjoy!
