Favorite Venison Recipe

I love venison, but I'm still looking for the "PERFECT" recipe. How about posting your favorite one here. I'm sure there are some great ones out there. Thanx.

It depends whether roasts or steaks.

For Roasts, I use dry rub of choice, use Cajun injector, also insert garlic cloves, let marinate for up to 24 hrs, take out of container or clean garbage bag, pat dry, deep fry it in peanut oil just like doing a turkey.

For steaks, cut into small medallions, rub EVOO on them both sides, garlic salt and pepper, lightly flour, put in hot cast iron skillet with olive oil, crisp one side, flip it over, cook until just above rare to med rare. Goes good with garlic smashed potatoes or rice or anything you want. Time cooking is dependant on thickness of medallions.

Mike, I one of my favorite ways to cook venison is simply in a cast Iron Skillet. In the spring I dry Morels. If you do not have fresh ones you can get dried morels at a local specialty market. I rejuvinate them by simmering in Drambuie. I season the Venison steaks with sea salt, A few turns of fresh ground black pepper and a few crushed juniper berries. To those in Michigan I also use Zehnders lamb and wild game seasoning. I melt butter in the iron skillet and sautee one julienned Vidalia or sweet onion and the mushrooms. Sometimes a pinch of sugar is needed to help them carmelize. Once they are nice and brown I remove them to a seperate bowl. I add more butter to the same Iron skillet and sauutee the venison. Do not cook it all the way ! As soon as I start to sautee the venison I use 1 packet of Knorr brand aus jus mix. Many regular grocery stores and specialty markets carry the knorr brand. This calls for 1 1/4 cups of water. I instead use 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup of marsalla. This only takes a minute to make. Once my steaks are 3/4 of the way cooked I add the mushrooms, onions and Aus Jus to the iron skillet and let it slow simmer untill done
I always serve this over mashed spuds. I peel and dice the potatoes and peel 2 medium colves of garlic. Just drop the garlic and a little salt in the cold water with the spuds and boil untill the potatoes are done. Mash the garlic right with the spuds. I add white pepper, salt butter and cream as desired. I make the mashed spuds fairly stiff so they can be piped onto the middle of the plate and the venison can be proped up against the spuds for a nice presentation.

Dave, that sounds like a real winner! Thanks. What state do you call home that you're picking Morels? Last year was absolutely horrible around here for Morels. I hope to have better luck this Spring.

What is EVOO? Dang, I'm thick sometimes. I just figured it out. Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Thanks for the tips.

I am in Michigan. Last year was a bumper crop here. I had just purchased more land last spring though so I was bustin trails instead of spending serious time picking. Most of those I know did very well last spring.
