Venison Recipes

Venison Recipes

Take care in cooking cuts of venison. Always trim off all fat and as many of the tendons as possible before cooking. Most cuts can be prepared similar to beef. Tender cuts, such as the loin, rib and sirloin, can be broiled or roasted. Shoulder and hind cuts, such as round steak and arm and blade chops, are best cooked by stewing, braising or pot-roasting. Use tougher cuts in stews and ground venison. Try to keep meat moist and do not overcook.

This minisite includes 20 popular venison recipes. Many traditional recipes for preparing venison are found in Cy Littlebee's Guide to Cooking Fish and Game, available from the MDC Nature Shop.
