Backstrap I either cut into little medallions and dredge in seasoned flour and pan fry. Or skip the flour and just pan fry with a little salt and pepper.
A couple years ago I ground some up with a really creamy bleu cheese and made hamburgers with it. I cooked them in a cast iron skillet and put all the regular hamburger stuff on them. They were so freakin good. My wife doesn't like venison and she had two burgers.
I've made lots of different kinds of sausage also - chorizo, kielbasa, breakfast sausage.
Just putting a ham in the oven with some carrots and onions and potatoes and a bottle of red wine (keep it covered tight) comes out pretty damn good too.
I love it I just haven't had time the past two years to go out and get any.0 -

I haven't made this because I'm currently without a kitchen (sink and all), but it looks delicious. I generally used ground venison as taco meat, breakfast sausage, or hamburgers.
Also, I love deer. I love rabbits. I find them cute and adorable and I'm sad when I see them dead on the road.
But I do eat them, because I'd rather get my protein from a natural source than the cows all lined up for slaughter. (2edgy)
Also, venison and rabbit are delicious.0 -
In laws recipe for jerky: ...lol I don't have it, it's a secret. but it seems like they slice it way thinner than most, I heard a machine is involved or a trip to the butcher or something. then there seems to be some type of green chile powdered seasoning on it. ONe thing I know it gets dehydrated overnight. The other thing I know is that it's addictive.0

We made meatballs last night with venison ground...it was delicious!!0

I use ground venison in chili, tacos, spaghetti. I recently did a VERY good venison roast, covered it in seasoning, and then WRAPPED in bacon. put in 2 cups of beef broth and cut up two onions in the bottom of the crockpot and put the wrapped roast on top. Cooked on low 10 hrs. AWESOME. Probably not the healthiest, but you can just choose to eat the venison and not the bacon itself. The fat in the bacon helps take out the gamey taste. Even my kids loved it.0

I use the same recipes for deer that I use for horse meat.
Google paardenrookvlees recipes for ideas.0 -
there was a thread about this recently....do a search for "venison" and see if it comes up.
the one i mentioned in there is easy and delicious.
i marinate chunks of backstrap for a couple days in a sweet marinade of soy sauce, minced garlic, and brown sugar (maybe a lil sriracha if im feelin feisty).
take em outta the marinade and wrap em up with bacon.
toothpick 'em and broil em up.
good stuff.
be quick though....they disappear fast!0 -
The most important thing to remember when cooking deer meat (steaks & tenderloins) is don't over cook it. Otherwise you can pretty much treat it the same as you would beef. But if you are making burgers, they might be a little dry since there is almost no fat.0

That's why I ground it up with bleu cheese. But I still wouldn't have tried to grill them on the grill. I used the cast iron frying pan in case they fell apart and also so whatever juices oozed out would not be lost to the fire.0 -

Backstrap medallions (or as we always called them, dollar steaks) are absolutely awesome pan fried in a good (unrefined) coconut oil, with a little salt and pepper. The flavor of the coconut oil and the venison complement each other so well!
Ground venison makes great hot sticks/smokies, too.0 -
OMG thank you for posting this! I make lots of stews and we make our own sausage, but I cant wait to try the new ideas!
Blue Cheese burgers here I come!!!!0 -
use the ground anywhere you would use ground beef, the roast: cook in crockpot like any roast, the tenderloins, marinade in teriyaki sauce and grill.0

Deer makes great swedish meatballs! I'm also a fan of doing tenderloins with a chili coco rub.0

We cut up the tenderloins or chops into bite size pieces and pan cook them up with a little reduced sodium teriyaki and soy sauces, with a few other spices of course. Then serve them up over some brown rice and veggies. The venison actually tastes amazing with Asian flavors.0

This thread inspired me today to thaw out some whitetail backstrap. I marinated it for a couple of hours in Stonewall Kitchen Sriracha Teriyaki sauce, cabernet, and minced garlic. Then I pan fried it in olive oil. Good stuff, that.0
