I always hated venison when growing up because I learned to hate it from my mother. Like LC said, it was like eating horse meat. But I have learned to really like it now. My husband got a nice sized buck a few weeks ago so we will be cooking a lot of venison for the next few months.
First off, I made chili from some of the ground venison. We ground the venison meat with beef fat. (ended up with about 40 pounds)
One of my favorite tricks for cooking venison is a marinade called Game Tamer. I even add some to my chili. (see chili thread for complete discussion of what is and is not chili, depending on where you live.)
A slow cooker is perfect for cooking the roasts and stew meats. Even a simple vinegar and oil marinade is perfect or a bottle Italian salad dressing. I like to add some other warm notes like soy sauce, onions, fresh garlic and chopped fresh ginger. Throw in some potatoes and carrots and make it a meal.
Hmmm..ImaDick...I think I'll try adding some curry seasonings to my next roast. I also like the sweet combo like adding some brown sugar or honey to the rub.
