Hi Everyone!
The hunters have struck gold! We have enough venison to last us all year. In these turbulent times, I am nothing less than greatful! Now my question: would anyone be willing to share recipes for venison so I don't fall back on my 3 standards which get kind of boring?
Here's my recipe for Hunter Stew:
Brown 1 pound venison stewmeat in a hot cast iron fry pan. Remove when really well browned. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and saute a chopped onion. Add 4 cups of water and stir like crazy! Add spices to taste. (We love black pepper, garlic, and bay leaf.) Add the meat back in. Simmer for as long as you can (more time=more tender meat). About 10 minutes before serving add a package of frozen mixed veggies and a couple of drops of liquid smoke. We serve this in homemade bread bowls!
Thanks!
If it's not illegal, unsafe, or immoral, why not try anything once? Who knows? You may come back for a second helping! |

Venison Shepard's Pie
Place desired amount of ground venison, dried basil, garlic powder, chopped onion, worcestershire sauce, and black pepper, and a bit of water in large skillet. Brown venison until done and the onions are well cooked.
In another pan, cook and mash desired amount of potato.
When potatoes are mashed and venison is cooked, pour venison into the bottom of a deep baking dish. Pour creamed corn and whole kernel corn over the venison. Layer the mashed potatoes over the corn and top with butter. Place in oven at 350 degrees F and cook until bubbly and the top is brown. I usually turn on the broiler to brown it after it becomes bubble. Watch to make sure it does not burn!
Enjoy!

I use red wine in my venison. The meat comes out so tender and the flavor is just wonderful. I think the wine takes away from the gaminess of the meat. I don't really have a recipe as I use it as a substitute for the meat in my regular everyday recipes!

Lucky you!! I just love game meat..especially elk! I use it the same ways I would use round steak in most recipes..making sure I cut off ALL fat bone or connective tissue to avoid the gamey taste. I like to cut it myself in the first place...so it isn't frozen with all that. I did a little elk roast in the crock pot the other day...with a little (2 cups) beef broth, garlic salt, black pepper and 2 whole cut up yellow onions. When finished I shredded it and we had hot beef sandwiches (on french rolls) yum!! Have fun with your bounty. My Uncle always brings a box of elk for me in January..so soon I will have some game meat again to cook with. I have used up all of last year's bounty...and we had alot more..a friend had me help butcher her son's elk and gave me alot of it, so I had that as well as my Uncle's. Very good!! Janiee... ground venison is great as meatballs or for tacos!!

There are 2 things I do with my venison prior to starting the recipe. I either soak it overnight in vinegar, salt and water ( about 3/4 cup of vinegar to 5 cups of water with 3 T. of salt) or I cover it with buttermile to help take out some of the game flavor. The next day I just rinse and cook
My favorite recipe is my venison roast. I take a roast and cut some spots where I can put crushed garlic cloves. Next I mix 1 cup of mayo with 1 Tablespoon worchestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce. Add 1teaspoon of garlic and add 2 Tablespoons of fresh rosemary. Mix well. Rub this all over the roast; sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake at a low 325 degree temperture until done - YUM YUM

Am so glad you mentioned the wine, because it does indeed act as a tenderizer for venison, elk and most wild game. I also use it when I make French beef stew. Have seen where folks will take a vinegar based salad dressing like the Paul Newman italian and use that as a marinade. Vinegar like wine does break down the meat so its more tender.

I make BBQ. Take hunks of the cooked meat na dplace in a food prosessor like a quisinar. Set the blades for a rough chop.
Remove from the bowl and mix with your BBQ sause of choice. Season as needed. Heat 'n eat!
Or use cubes of meat as a beef stew substitute. |
