Does anyone have a simple easy recipe for venison? never cooked it before but fancied giving it a go!?

Simmer gently in red wine and stock with mushrooms and onions. Totally yummy!Does anyone have a simple easy recipe for venison? never cooked it before but fancied giving it a go!?
Mine is similar to your other answers but slightly different. A friend of ours told me to marinate venison in Coca Cola over night when I told him that I did not like the wild taste it has. The Coke gives it a slightly sweet taste. Usually, I slice the venison a little thinner than a beef steak and marinate it. Then when I cook it I use butter in a hot skillet and then a layer of sliced onions, then a small can of mushrooms partially drained. Then I put the venison in. After the onions start to soften,I put the venison down in under the onions so that it browns nicely. Oh and don't forget salt and pepper! When it is cooked thoroughly I serve it on buns with steak sauce or bbq sauce. If you are really feeling like a chef, I suppose you could make a BBQ sauce with the left over marinade- mix it with some ketchup, brown sugar, worcestershire, etc and cook/simmer until thick.





Also, crock pot cooking venison helps it to turn out tender every time. Ground venison is used exactly the same as hamburger. We mix our ground venison with beef- 1 part venison to 2 parts beef and notice only a very slight difference from 100 % beef. Another friend, who grinds their own venison, mixes the venison with raw bacon when they send it through the grinder. This adds fat and a little smoke flavor. Good luck!Does anyone have a simple easy recipe for venison? never cooked it before but fancied giving it a go!?
Roll it in flour and then fry in butter season with Lawyer's season salt. Cook slowly. Tenderloin is the best.
It really depends on what cut you have, or are going to buy!





Basically it is cooked in the same way you would cook any beef cut/joint. Timings are the same etc. however Venison has very little fat in it and is generally very lean, so when roasting one must add fat to the meat (cover it with streaky bacon) and keep roasting joints covered with foil until the last 20/30 minutes of cooking.





Now Venison is a gamey meat so dependent on how strong a flavour you like, marinade the joint in red wine, bay leaves, onions etc. Really anything you fancy putting in the marinade. The longer you marinade the meat, the stronger the flavour will become.





Venison makes excellent stews, game pie and if you have a haunch, superb roasting joints. Serve with redcurrant jelly and Yorkshire puddings with a lovely gravy made from the meat juices and reduced marinade. Stir some recurrant jelly into the gravy to give it extra flavour. Delicious! When are you having it? I'll be round for dinner!
The most important thing to remember is that it is a very lean meat, and will dry out easily. Always cook it slowly over a low heat. And always have a source of wet in with it while it is cooking. If you are roasting it, make sure that there is at least a half inch of water in the bottom of the pan at all times. (Which becomes convenient later for making gravy!) And I always cover the pan in the last half of the cooking process so that the meat gently steams--it comes out much more juicy.

Yum! When cooking I disagree with most- I would have a sweet potato, garlic mash and a fruity(blueberry etc)/wine jus ready to go and then sear it only for a very short time on both sides as to get a nice crust but still keeping it tender and moist. Venison should be served rare before you start cooking let the meat rest at room temp (about an hour) before cooking so it is not cold in the middle when you go to eat it. Venison is a classy and expensive meat best to make the most of it by doing a fancy meal.
