My new male recruit has a show next week (that was booked tonight!) and the host is going hunting morning of. The host is hoping to have some venison at the show. Anyone have a recipe that we can turn PC?
 
any venison recipes would be great! My best friends's husband often gives me venison and I just use the ground venison like I would use ground beef.
Otherwise, I can be of no help! sorry~;)
 
Stroganoff- could use the Power Cooking recipe

Have them cut out the backstrap(really tender cut), cut into medalions, season with Crushed Peppercorn and Garlic Rub, then sear in the grill pan.

Oh my, that's hypocritical to use the backstrap in stroganoff! :p

Backstraps have to be enjoyed and savored without a cream sauce!


I recommend going to tasteofhome.com and searching for venison recipes there, they have some great ones!
 
Oh no I dont use the backstrap for Stroganoff. Only for Medalions. I use the roasts for Stroganoff.

My boyfriend uses the mini muffin pan & mini tart shaper when he does this recipe. You could use the batter bowl for the dough & he uses "his" forged cutlery 7" Santoku anytime he is cutting anything up.
 
Here's a website that my brother-in-law sent me. He "leads" hunts in Arizona, and passed this on.

I just had some venison cubed steak tonight for dinner - I usually flour it up like regular cubed steak and make a pan gravy w/ it but this time I fried it in the skillet with salt, pepper, garlic powder and it was good.

Last night I used some Deer Sausage (it's made like kielbasa) and cooked it with cabbage and potatoes

Last week, I used some ground meat and made meatloaf - it, too, was really good. I've also used the ground meat for spaghetti, tacos, and hamburgers. I made the hamburgers really big thinking they would shrink in the pan - but, there was hardly any fat in the meat so it did not shrink at all. You should have seen us trying to eat just one hamburger. :~D

Better have a back up in case he misses!:D
 
The coconut chicken curry from 29 Minutes To Dinner is excellent with venison.

If he's handy and manages to get a great tenderloin off, have him try the 10 Minute BBQ Pork recipe. Also, the Moroccan Spice Rub is AWESOME on Venison - maybe use that inplace of the BBQ Rub.

Is the meat in this pre-cooked before you put it in the mixture? Doesn't seem like 3-5 minutes in the oven is enough to cook it....
