For years now at camp we do not slice Venison into steaks to fry
Just like loin's we fry steaks in very large chunks. Here Loin is fried on a salt block. Outside almost burnt while still rare to med. rare.
Had venison cooked like that in New Zealand & it was awesome.
They super heated the salt block in the oven, Placed it on an inlaid board, which they bought to your table, with meat on a separate plate.
The idea was for you, to cook to your liking, at your table.
That was 12 years ago & I remember it like yesterday.
