I've cooked venison for many years as did my Mum before me and I still think this is my favourite.


Cut meat into bite sized pieces and roll in seasoned flour


In an oven proof dish, heat some oil and brown the meat with some chopped onions.


Add baby potatoes and diced swede (swede and venison is a marriage made in heaven).


Just cover with water, add seasoning, cover with water, either put on a lid or use tin foil and cook slowly in the oven for about 2-21/2 hours and then thicken the juices with a paste made from cornflour and water
As a daughter of a game warden and wife and mom of hunters, I have cooked my share of venison over the years.





Not exactly a recipe, here are lots of tips to help you make delicious venison.





The season Allspice is your favorite friend! Mix just a little bit (1/4 teaspoon) with your favorite rub or marinade and it makes the venison yum, yum, yum!





For stuffings, use apple walnut stuffing or cranberry onion stuffing. In other words, use your favorite bread stuffing and add natural ingredients like fruits or nuts to improve the flavor of the venison.





To mask the ';gamey'; taste, use slices of bacon draped over the meat...it will add moisture and flavor.





Lastly...onions! An onion added to a roast (not just venison but also beef, veal, pork, etc.) will make it tender.





What I like to do is to cut my roasts into layers. Add a combo rub of garlic powder, salt, pepper, allspice and let it sit for an hour, stuff with something like apple walnut stuffing, tie the layers together and plop it into a crockpot with an onion cut into halves and drape bacon over the roast. Add about three cups of water. Let that cook on low for 8 hours and serve it with mashed potatoes and a light gravy made from the juices, or just the juices itself.





Hope that helps you out!
The secret to good venison cooking is either long and slow or quick and barely cooked.





Make your self a sauce - for example a cumberland sauce or cranberry sauce, serve with mashed potatoes and salad.
soak in milk over-night. then try cutting in cubes and make a stew its great. but yes any way you cook beef. even venison stakes on the grill are good.
regular beef recipes just soak venison inmilk beforhand
You didn't say what kind of venison your choosing to cook, so I am offering different recipes. Hope you enjoy.
