    Top of Page  Venison Dishes

    Venison on the table is the reward every deer hunter hopes for. The meat is lean, healthy and delicious. Prepared properly, venison can become the family's favorite meat.

    Excellent venison starts with prompt and proper field care. The deer should be field dressed as quickly as possible and the cooling process begun immediately. If you butcher the deer yourself, make certain all hair is removed from the carcass. Hair packaged with meat causes an unpleasant taste.

    The fat on venison, too, will cause a stronger taste so as much as possible should be removed before packaging and freezing. Bone also adds to a "gamey" flavor. I recommend deboning all venison before freezing. Even if you do not butcher your own game, you can request that the meat processer debone the meat before packaging. With proper care your venison can be as good as any prime beef.

    Theses recipes are designed to be easy, foolproof and ideal for showcasing the flavor of your deer. Good hunting and good eating.

    VENISON ROAST
    Top of Page  Venison Dishes
  • Ingredients:
  • Instructions:
  • For a really tasty, tender roast, bake only to the point of being rare or medium. More than this could cause the roast to be a little dry or tough. The best way to judge the doneness is with a meat thermometer. Rare 130-135; medium rare 135-140; medium 140-145 degrees.

    First brown the roast on all sides in a little hot oil. Season the roast with a combination of celery salt, coarse ground pepper and garlic powder.

    Place the roast on a rack in a baking pan. Lay several thin strips of bacon or fresh side over the top. Roast at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes per pound of meat.

    VENISON RIBS
    Top of Page  Venison Dishes
  • Ingredients:
  • Instructions:
  • Many people discard ribs, throwing away one of the best parts of the deer. Venison ribs don't have as much meat as pork or beef, but are delicious none the less and should hold a high priority in the kitchen.

    Cut ribs (about 3 to 4-pound slab) into serving size pieces. Parboil in a large Dutch oven in mixture of 3 cups water, 1 1/2 cups beer, 5 peppercorns, 2 cloves garlic and 1 quartered onion. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place ribs on a rack in a large roasting pan. Brush with sauce (recipe follows). Bake for about 45 minutes to an hour, turning several times and basting with sauce.

    VENISON LIVER AND ONIONS
    Top of Page  Venison Dishes
  • Ingredients:
  • Instructions:
  • For most people, liver is a "love it or hate it" item. for many of us, it's a favorite part of the traditional deer camp. The liver should be cleaned well. If it has spots or discolorations, discard it. After cleaning, soak the liver in very cold water for an hour, changing the water several times to remove any remaining blood. Some like to soak the liver in milk or beer for a few hours before preparing but this is optional.

    Melt a misture of butter and vegetable oil (about 1/2 cup total) in a high-sided skillet. Roll liver slices in a mixture of the flour, salt, pepper and Mrs. Dash. Fry the liver slices until brown on both sides then remove to a warming plate. You may have to do the slices in several batches, adding a little more butter if necessary. Be careful not to overcook.

    When all the meat is browned and removed, add the onions; cook and stir until they are just tender. Return the liver to the skillet and heat through before serving.
