  • Twelve to 24 hours before serving, marinate venison in 2 cups of whole milk. Keep cold in cooler.

While continuing to whisk, drizzle in butter and stir until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in Adobo. Set aside.
  • Heat cast iron skillet on camp stove or hot part of the campfire. On cooler part of the fire, cook venison for 3-4 minutes per side. Add oil and butter to skillet and melt. Transfer meat to hot skillet and seer for 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from pan and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • Split English muffins. Add to cast iron skillet, "nooks and crannies" side down. Cook until toasted.
  • While muffins are toasting, add water until it measures 3-inches deep in the pan you plan to use for poaching. Splash with vinegar. Bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack eggs in fine mesh sieve and transfer one at a time to water and then poaching liquid. Poach for 3-5 minutes and remove with slotted spoon.
