Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting We all love hunting, but who loves eating Venison ?

What they oughta be afeard of is what they buy at Food Lion and Piggly Wiggly, especially the burger that comes in already ground.

I used to cut all my steaks/chops while processing but now leave the individual boned out pieces whole until I'm ready to cook. I just started saving the shanks whole for braising but haven't cooked any that way yet.

I also used to experiment more with marinades and various recipes, but anymore I tend to just brine overnight as a whole roast, give a light smoke on the pellet grill, sear in a cast iron pan, and slice into medallions to serve. A couple of recent cooks from this year's whitetails (backstrap and tenderloin):




I do enjoy some blue cheese crumbles on top of steaks as well as a little horseradish on the side...

NICE !!!

I love venison and so does my entire family, even the cat.

Hahahaha,

I digress, but butchering day, our dogs got plenty of scraps & bones.

Next day, Ivy (brown & white) was in her kennel, while we were at work.



Deb came home to this;

Ohfff. Thankfully I'm retired and that isn't an issue. The dogs were happy with today's kill too.

There will be lots of dog deer farts tonight. It's funny what makes me happy these days.

Venison - stew, meatballs, Goulash, jerky. maybe cutlets

Was on my own last night, Deb was at a work Christmas party, so went back to rustic roots !



A little riff on steak, eggs & fried taters ??

I’m making veni stew today.

I have started taking the neck whole, and smoking it for 4 hours. then into the crock pot for another 4 hours. all bones pull out easily. makes fantastic shredded taco's.

Sign me up 99. I love good venison and shot a small buck this year without much time to hunt just to eat the it.

Yep, kept both necks, 1 I had started to trim a little, before changing my mind.

Original thought was for deer barley soup, but ...................

Right on, small is tender & tasty, right !!

Hahaha, right on Mate !

Feel free to hang a pic, deer, dogs or both !

We eat venison didn’t get drawn this year so slowed down eating the one we have,to make it last a bit

Generally I take straps, tenderloin and heart whole, everything else is turned into sausage.

That looks freaking delicious! I'm going to have to give that a try.

I've tried cooking it different ways, never had a piece I would call tender. I eat it but not crazy about it. Some meatball and chili dishes with it are passable though.
