I need some good venison recipes?

I've pulled some recipes from the net, and I have other recipes I've used for venison (pot-roast and stew), but on only my 2nd day deer hunting I managed to get a doe. I butchered her, and now have a boatload of venison. I'm aging steaks and a big roast (both cut from the hindquarters) in my fridge. The tougher cuts (stew meat, pot roasts, soup meat) are already downstairs in the freezer.





So I need recipes for the steaks, the roast (which is the entire haunch), and the tenderloin.I need some good venison recipes?

Thanks everyone who provided recipes (gravy-I guess yours is OK for those that don't like venison lol). It was hard to choose a best answer. I copied all the recipes into a Word file for future reference. Joanne, thanks for the link! Report Abuse

This is a good one;





Grilled Venison Backstrap





2 pounds venison backstrap (tenderloin), cut into 2 inch chunks


1 quart apple cider


1 1/2 pounds thick sliced bacon


2 (12 ounce) bottles barbecue sauce, your choice





Place chunks of venison into a shallow baking dish, and pour enough apple cider in to cover them. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours. Remove, and pat dry. Discard apple cider, and return venison to the dish. Pour barbeque sauce over the chunks, cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 more hours.


Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Charcoal is best, but if you must, use gas. Remove meat from the refrigerator, and let stand for 30 minutes, or until no longer chilled. Wrap each chunk of venison in a slice of bacon, and secure with toothpicks.


Brush the grill grate with olive oil when hot, and place venison pieces on the grill so they are not touching. The bacon will kick up some flames, so be ready. Grill, turning occasionally, until the bacon becomes slightly burnt, 15 to 20 minutes. The slower, the better. Dig in, and prepare to want more!


Serves 4.

This one too;





Venison Roast

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup





Put cleaned meat in slow cooker and cover with onion. Sprinkle with soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt and pepper.


In a small bowl combine the soup mix and the soup; mix together and pour mixture over venison. Cook on Low setting for 6 hours.


Serves 6.

I have tried venison many many ways and have not had a lot of luck until I tried this.





Take whatever cut of venison you have and place it into a large dutch oven. Add 2 bottles of your favorite beer, 1 cup good Kentucky whiskey, 1/2 cup of good vodka, 2 cans of Beef Broth. Salt and Pepper to taste.





Cover and cook at a simmer about 3 hours. Take the meat out and throw it away. Thicken the gravy and enjoy over your favorite potatoes or rice.
Congratulations.





Here are lots of recipes for you:

For the tenderloin, try this: Cut it into medallions, about 1/2-3/4 inch thick.





Melt some butter in a skillet. Lay a few springs of fresh rosemary in the skillet. Quickly saute the medallions over the rosemary, turning once.





Be careful not to over-cook them. A minute or two on each side is all it takes.





If you don't like rosemary, substitute a couple of minced garlic cloves.





What about the loins themselves? Did you cut them out as single cuts, or make them into ribs instead? If whole, here's a great recipe I developed the other night. It's a take-off of Veal Oscar, made with venison:





Heat a skillet until very hot. Add a very small amount of olive oil (just enought to coat the pan). Sear a venison tenderloin on all sides, then finish in the oven to desired doneness.





Let the loin rest ten minutes, and cut into slices an inch thick. Lay them out on a greased sheet pan. Top each slice with a crabcake mixture, light on the breadcrumbs. Spoon Bearnaise sauce over each piece and pop under the broiler until the crab is heated through.





Garnish each ';Oscar'; with a couple of cooked asparagus tips.
