I finally got me a deer!

I've been trying to get a deer for six years and had no luck (I don't hunt, I have been relying on the skill of others)... this year I have two. But I don't have any experience cooking venison.

I like it, but I've never cooked it myself. What are the tips/tricks to know and does anyone have any good recipes they'd like to share for us Bambi eaters?

What cuts are you trying to cook?

For the most part, you can approach it the same way you'd approach lamb...

I've got the whole thing. Can I basically cook the backstrap like I'd cook a beef tenderloin? Otherwise, just give me suggestions... like I said, I've got the whole deer, so I've got all the cuts I need, I just don't have the experience/recipes.

By the way... this deer cost me $10. The shooter did all his own processing and only charged me $10 for the tag and the trouble.

THAT is some cheap meat.

If you're cooking ground venison, I mix it 3 parts venison to 2 parts ground pork or pork sausage. Makes excellent meat loaf or chili, follow your favorite recipe.

If you're cooking roasts like the backstrap, try to remove any fat or 'silverskin' from the meat. Olive oil rub, cut slits in the meat with a sharp knifepoint and insert garlic slivers, add rosemary/thyme/black pepper/kosher salt dry rub. Roast @ 350 until rare (I lay a few pieces of bacon on for the final 20-30 minutes) Carmelize some onions (sliced onions, olive oil, a little thyme and brown sugar) in the oven while you're roasting the meat. Wild rice pilaf, baked potatoes and the red wine and/or hoppy beer like a Czech pilzner.

Steaks - trim off any fat/silverskin, oil and rub with cracked black pepper & paprika, a little thyme. Grill over hot coals, eat medium rare.

'No.'

Rince the meet and pat down with a towl to get rid of all the blood and make a good marinade and let soak over night then cook slow the best way is in a crock pot even steaks because deer is usualy tough and dry. I use lots of spices to hide the gamey tast this is the only way I can eat deer any more except for jerkey I get 80 to 85% made into jerkey then I frezze it, but that isn't cheep I had two deer this year and cut it up my self and then took the meet in and it cost me $185.00 for jerkey.

Heh! Good luck. :hmmm: I can't even stand the smell of deer meat cooking at this point in time. Feed it to the dog and go shot a moose, or elk.

Deer = Forest rats.
