Hey everyone,

Looking for some of your favorite ways to cook whitetail.

Have burger, chops and steaks. Hoping I can try it some different ways besides the basics like pan fried and into a hamburger

Thanks

I grew up eating almost nothing but deer and elk for red meat and my mom is a hell of a cook. But in the last 5 or 7 years I discovered how much better a deer steak is if it’s eaten medium rare instead of well done like mom always cooked it.

We still don’t eat anything except deer and elk for our red meat but we don’t cook it to well done and it’s not even in the same ballpark. My favorite is salt and pepper and into a hot skillet with a bit of melted lard. Sauté onions and mushrooms in real butter and worchestershire to go with it.

The wife made a Mississippi roast today in the crockpot that was excellent. Onion soup packet, ranch dressing packet, salt and pepper, and a jar of pepperoncini peppers with some water added for the soup packet. Very good and easy.

My family loves it in a homemade stroganoff over egg noodles. Works great for carne asada tacos as well. We use venison/caribou/moose for everything. Just don’t dry it out.

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.

I bought a wild game cookbook that said in the introduction that if money was tight and you could not afford to buy an instant digital cooking thermometer and his cookbook to skip buying the book until later.... they cost maybe $20.00 anything above 130 to maybe 135 degrees is overcooked venison.

Damn!

Here I am trying to tough it out in the office for another hour or so to catch up on some things...


... and you post an avalanche of great-looking dishes, including my favourite hot-n- sour soup!

My stomach is now growling so bad that I have to give up, go home and make me a moose meatloaf sandwich before I can work again!

I hope you feel guilty...

John,

Pack up ya crap & come home to NWO !!

Had some leftover deer ass (rump) from the Goulash, so you inspired me to go again !

Crock pot or braise those tougher cuts, neck roasts, shanks, etc.

Lots of red wine, broth, spices and low and slow.

Or spice it up and do similar cooking method and make carnitas/barbacoa and fill a tortilla.

For those chops and steaks, a little bit of oil, your favorite steak seasoning (or just salt and pepper) and grill to 120-125 and let rest for 5 min.

Dang that is some good looking stuff, appreciate it! I'll have to try those, especially the carnitas.

I had visions of Forest talking to Bubba about shrimp !!!!

Inspiring variety of dishes! Way to share the love New.

Last night we took five pounds of white tail, mixed it with 5 pounds of pork shoulder, some salt pepper, nutmeg, garlic, egg, and milk.....oh, and some super strong blue cheese.


Mixed er all up and stuffed it.


Fried a little test patty. Hole E Smokes it was good.

Thumbs up icon Jim !!

Double deer, cheese burgers !!



Excuse the dirty plate, this was #2, Absolutely smashed the first one !

You might look at www.riflesandrecipes.com. Eileen Clarke has been publishing game cookbooks for around 30 years, and along with science-based info about field care and butchering your own meat, there are hundreds of recipes for venison--not just deer but caribou, elk, moose etc. The books not only explain why vension varies in toughness and flavor, but how to adjust for those, since wild game isn't a standardized product like commercial meat.

No fooling?


Where did you hear about all that??

md gave me some advice once, so i returned the favor by buying his wife's book...LOL

i'd consider leasing it to ya, good terms

Like the Baikonur Cosmodrome? Thats a pretty good lease.


We bought a cook book years ago. Its was crazy!

it's the 'lease' i could do

it's been years since i bought one but do have one in my sights...santa, please...?

Find out if Santa takes Visa.

or an IOU

No, IOUs, but they're still on sale for 15% off through Christmas!

LOL

Don't forget Green Chile Stew with venison burger.
Served OVER
boiled potatoes cut into 1/2 inch or so pieces and al dente for my tastes
elbow macaroni (wife's choice)

Yes served over over those starches neither cooked with/in the stew.

Try marinating a pack of steaks in Veri Veri Teriyaki® Marinade & Sauce I find it at Vons Safeway it is like pure candy BBq and eat.
