Ingredients

• 4 cups water
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons minced onion
• 3 tablespoons garlic powder
• 2 ½ tablespoons salt
• 4 pounds boneless venison roast
• 16 (2 ounce) kaiser rolls, split

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.

Step 2

Use a knife to cut small scores on both sides of venison roast, then tenderize all over with a blade-style meat tenderizer. Rub spice mixture all over roast.

Step 3

Pour water into a slow cooker and set temperature to High. Place roast in the center of the slow cooker; it's okay if some of the spice mixture comes loose in the water. Cover and cook until you can easily pull the roast in half using a knife and fork, about 3 hours.

Step 4

Drizzle 1/4 cup barbecue sauce over roast. Continue to cook on High until venison is tender and can be easily pulled apart with a fork, 3 to 3 1/2 more hours.

Step 5

Turn slow cooker to Warm. Remove excess water. Shred roast using a knife and fork.

Step 6

Return meat to the slow cooker and stir in the remaining barbecue sauce.

Step 7

Serve shredded meat and sauce on rolls.
