Any wine that you like with beef will go with venison.





My cousin marinates venison in cheap zesty italian salad dressing overnight and then cooks whatever cut just like they would beef and it is always awesome! Simple too! Great for steaks!
I suggest soaking in milk overnight, then cook it the same as you would any other steak. The milk takes some of the game flavor away.
Marinate in Zesty Italian Salad Dressing at least four hrs in frig. Bar-B-Que or broil. Tender and yummy. Red dry wine.
This is the way I do it and it is really delicious. I soak it in salt water overnight. Someone told me to do that years ago and it works for me. I bread it and saute it with chopped onions. Cover with water and then I simmer it for a couple of hours on very low heat until the water has turned into a fairly thick sauce. Add sliced mushrooms. Once the mushrooms are just about cooked, add a carton of sour cream, salt and pepper. Heat through.

We like to cook it in the crockpot on low with beer, garlic, and a little cajun seasoning usually all day. When you`re ready to eat, about a half hour before dump off the beer shred up the meat, add a fresh can of beer and any kind of barbque sauce,';I usually get whats on sale'; makes awesome barbque sandwiches. If you have ground venison use it as you would regular hamburger for meatloaf, chili, sloppy joes etc.
Just one little tip for you: if your venison is gamy or tough, soak it overnight in milk in the refrigerator, then it will be tender and tasty as elk

from Pacific Northwest Flavors


Venison Steak. charcoal broiled


3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced


1T chopped fresh rosemary


2T olive oil


4 6 oz venison steaks, 1 - 1 1/2'; thick


salt


freshly ground black pepper





Preheat the charcoal grill. Mix the garlic, rosemary, and olive oil together and rub the steaks with this mixture, letting them sit 1/2 hour. Broil the steaks over hot coals 8 to 14 minutes depending on the thickness of the steak and the rareness desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper.


An alternate to the charcoal grill is a hot skillet.


By the way, I will sometimes get a really gamey smelling piece of meat. Just soak it in milk for a few hours to lessen that flavor.
