Rare/medium rare is the only way to cook venison steaks! Or any steak! Most all my good game steaks are cooked over an Oak BBQ open pit.

Ground burger can be used for a huge variety of dishes. Some of my favorites are meat loaf, meatballs which can then be used in spaghetti sauce or meatball sandwiches, tator tot hot dish, tacos, a number of slow cooked chili recipes also.
A few favorites with sliced up cuts of steaks are broccoli/venison, stir fry, crock pot whole roast with potatoes, carrots, onion, celery and a few cans of cream of mushroom.
