On my Traeger, I started the grill on smoke with the lid open until the fire was established.

It usually takes between three to five minutes on mine.

Set the temperature to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and preheat it for ten to fifteen minutes.

This sauce works with deer, elk, or even antelope.

Grill your meat as usual but serve this sauce either drizzled over it or on the side.

Once the butter is melted, add the shallot or onion, and stir until theyre soft and translucent.

Keep stirring as the sauce cooks, about five more minutes.

you might mash the berries if you want but its not necessary.

Put the sauce back in the pan and add the last tablespoon of butter.

Bonus points if youre using a cast iron pan.

I dont typically marinate if Im using bacon, but you certainly could use the all-purpose marinade from above.

It nets me a perfectly tender, juicy, medium rare piece of venison.

Wild game doesnt need to be dry or overcooked.
