Spicy Venison Rib Chops
Ingredients
  • 4 deer rib chops, about 3 or 4 ounces each
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • few grinds black pepper
Instructions
  1. Mix the coconut sugar and spices together in a small bowl. Generously rub the chops with the spice mixture and allow them to rest at room temperature, for about an hour.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over high heat until smoking and sear the chops, about a minute per side. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until the chops reach an internal temperature of about 135 F, or about 3 additional minutes per side.
  3. Remove the chops to a plate or cutting board and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 15 minutes before plating and serving.
