I found that it was a great lean meat to cook with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-deer-needing-recipes#post-1212294 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:23:28 +0000 coastmama 1212294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the steak, I cut into pieces (think chicken nugget size) and then tenderize with a glass bottle. Then I marinade it in KC Masterpiece marinade (usually mesquite, but others are also good). Then cook it on a grill plate/griddle. So good. </p> <p>I've also had really good deer burgers before, but don't have any experience making the patties myself. I assume it would work the same way. </p> <p>We have some of ours turned into sausage with cheese and jalapenos processed into the sausage. It is SO amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-deer-needing-recipes#post-1212060 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:12:50 +0000 MsMamaBear 1212060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like Danizaur said, substitute for hamburger meat. I've only eaten it in chili, didn't even know the difference til my mom's cousin told me!LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-deer-needing-recipes#post-1212037 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 18:55:10 +0000 sarac 1212037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jealous! No suggestions, no one in my little liberal bubble would ever hunt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-deer-needing-recipes#post-1211595 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:23:19 +0000 PurplePeony 1211595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only eat it from restaurants (just don't really have access to any to cook at home) and I recently had an AMAZING braised cut of venison. I don't know what part of the deer it came from, but a piece of bone was still attached...not much help, haha. Anyway, it was braised in some sort of herb-infused broth (probably beef or maybe chicken?) until it basically melted in your mouth and it was just sooo good. I wish I had an actual recipe for you, but maybe you can find one that looks good to you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-deer-needing-recipes#post-1211540 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:03:10 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1211540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sketchbook: awesome, I'm jealous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-deer-needing-recipes#post-1211489 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:47:19 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1211489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are getting it mostly ground, a few cube steaks, and the tenderloin butterflied into steaks. I have had deer tenderloin before, but never ground. Is it better in tomato sauces? I've heard of course that chili is one way to go, but we will have so much I will need to think of more ways to do it!</p> <p>I'm super excited! We pick up on Saturday. We get a whole deer for 70 dollars (our uncle hunts for fun so he only asked us to pay for the processing)! Totally wild and so much less money than any other meat you can buy, natural or conventional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-deer-needing-recipes#post-1211434 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:30:35 +0000 looch 1211434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband makes it according to a traditional Swiss farmer's recipe, marinated and slow cooked in herbs and red wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-deer-needing-recipes#post-1211426 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:29:17 +0000 Weagle 1211426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yum! Ditto on using it like beef. Deer sausage and jerky are excellent, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-deer-needing-recipes#post-1211360 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:16:15 +0000 IRunForFun 1211360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can use it in any way that you would use beef!</p> <p>For steaks and roasts, though, I recommend soaking them in milk or buttermilk for 24 hours before cooking. It really helps make them more tender! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-deer-needing-recipes#post-1211349 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:10:46 +0000 dagret 1211349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we marinade deer loin in italian dressing + beef onion soup packets and grill it. SOOOO GOOOD and it takes all the gaminess out. Also my FIL makes the backstrap by sauteeing onions in butter, adding the backstrap, then adding a can of beer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-deer-needing-recipes#post-1211306 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:02:10 +0000 regberadaisy 1211306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so jealous!!!! We have grilled like steak, made stew and jerky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-deer-needing-recipes#post-1211300 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:00:01 +0000 LuLu Mom 1211300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use it as beef all the time, ground deer, jerky, sticks, ect. are delicious. I'm not a fan of deer steaks, just too gamey for me but I can't get enough of the jerky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-deer-needing-recipes#post-1211286 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:58:09 +0000 artsyfartsy 1211286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you get it ground you can substitute it for anything that calls for hamburger meat. It's much better in my opinion. As for steaks and tenderloin, you can cook them the same as beef steaks...they just need more oil. They are more dry than beef.</p> <p>I don't have any special recipes. I just cook with it to save money on beef and because I like it better! Also it's fresh! No chemicals or weird unknowns that you get from store bought meat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-deer-needing-recipes#post-1211237 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:43:24 +0000 jmarionsmith 1211237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>is it being ground? we ate ground deer meat in anything that you'd use beef for... spaghetti, burgers, meatloaf. and deer cube steak is amazinggg. it's the only red thing i miss since giving up red meat and pork. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-deer-needing-recipes#post-1211234 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:42:39 +0000 kiddosc 1211234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We end up having a lot of our venison turned into sausage, which is pretty good. We like to take some of the back strap steaks though and wrap them in bacon and grill with barbecue sauce. Doesn't even taste like venison to me. We cook the bacon halfway first though, otherwise the venison would be too dried out by the time the bacon was cooked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-deer-needing-recipes#post-1211229 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:40:12 +0000 pui 1211229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had it but I'd be interested in trying it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-deer-needing-recipes#post-1211209 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:34:45 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1211209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our uncle just got us a deer and it is being processed....not sure what all to do with the meat we will get! </p>
