Anyone know a good venison recipe?

My husband and I have shot 2 deer already and have tags for 6 more. I am tired of just the plain old stuff with venison...any new ideas?Anyone know a good venison recipe?
Mmmmm...yummmm...Venison is my absolute FAVORITE meat.





My favorite way to do venison is a fast fry. Slice the meat into very thin steaks. Fry them up in a frying pan, with either cooking oil or butter...whichever you prefer. Add a bit of pepper and seasoning salt, and you're good to go!





I also really enjoy substituting ground venison in spaghetti sauce instead of ground beef. It is soooooooo stinking good!





A venison stir-fry is also so delicious!!!





Really, you can substitue vension in any beef (or even chicken) recipe there is!





Sorry my answer wasn't fancy with recipes like the rest...but I very rarely follow a recipe when it comes to cooking. I guess you could say I fly by the seat of my pants...LOL!





Happy cooking!Anyone know a good venison recipe?

Using a glass container, soak the venison in milk for 12 hours or overnight. When you are ready to cook, drain the meat and put it into a suitable pot with water or venison stock. (Venison stock is low in fat and cholesterol but chicken or beef stock can be used.) Chop the tomatoes and put them, along with the juice from the can, into the pot. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for an hour and a half. (If your venison is very tender, you can cut back on cooking time.) Chop the onions, including about half of the green tops, and put them into the pot along with the frozen vegetables, salt and pepper. Some like more pepper. Good with hot French bread.

GREEN PEPPERS
I take the venison steaks, pound them with a meat hammer, roll them flour and pan fry them olive or vegetable oil. After the steaks are cooked, I remove them from the pan, add 1 cup of corn starch and 1 cup of condensed milk to the drippings. Turn the burner on a low setting and whisk it until it has a semi thick consistancy. This is great gravy for mashed potatos or rice.


I do the same thing with elk, moose and cubed beef steaks.
