We eat a lot of venison in my home (depending on if my hubby gets a deer or not!). As far as the gamey taste, that really depends on what the deer are eating. around here they are corn fed-to us it tastes like beef or maybe it's just we are used to it. In northern Minnesota they eat pine needles or so I am told, so the meat tastes different-more of a wild taste.
I think that recipes that have a tomato base help with the taste; spaghetti, chili, tacos, hotdish etc.
We grill the tenderloin just like steak or make steak cubes-which are tenderloin cut in squares, breaded and deepfried.
Venison is dry because it is very low in fat.
Hope this helps. I don't really have any recipes, I just substitute it for hamburger or beef.
My husband does make jerky and has a good recipe or 2. will try to find them and post once I get home from work. ;o) |
