Good tip but thankfully the wife and both my girls enjoy theirs with a nice puddle of blood left as juice for the potatoes.

An overcooked piece of venison can be some rough stuff.

Always keep a few clean roast type hunks out for chipped steak. Put it on the meat slicer to shave as thin as possible while still partially frozen. This gets cooked to well done in skillet with seasoning, olive oil, peppers and onions but still turns out tender. A little horseradish sauce and you're looking at a sandwhich you can't buy at any price. Some of this stuff makes 'ya feel bad for folks who don't like venison.
