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.
