Venison is considered game meat, which means that it’s not meat you usually buy from a grocery store or butcher. When deer meat is processed, the result is called venison. It’s very flavorful, and when cooked with the right spices and seasonal vegetables it makes a delicious main course. Here are some great venison recipes to get you started.
Venison Roast
Like roast beef, venison can be used in lieu of beef. A venison roast should be cooked at a low temperature for many hours, in a cream-based broth to ensure that it’s tender and moist. Add some cream of mushroom soup, and some fresh seasonal mushrooms for a well-rounded dish.
Venison Jerky
If you enjoy making jerky, then venison is definitely a meat you will want to use. Spice the venison prior to drying it with smoked paprika, garlic, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and any other spices you like. This is a good way to use up tougher cuts of venison.
Venison Casserole
Anyone who has ever made a casserole knows that any kind of meat, vegetables, and leftovers can be thrown into a cast iron pan and baked. Take some ground venison, fry it up with some spices, and bake it in a pan like you would chicken or beef.
