The Best Venison Recipes
You don't have to be a hunter to love venison. I've heard people say they didn't like deer meat when they've never tasted it...can you believe it! I don't remember Mom cooking venison, however, Liz, my wife, does an awesome job. Prepared correctly, a venison tenderloin melts in your mouth and has a taste that is can't be compared to anything. I guarantee you'll love it! But remember the trick is to cook it correctly! I ran across about 150 recipes on how to cook, bake, barbeque, fry, broil...you name it..ways to prepare venison. I live in Northern Illinois and have a lot of friends that hunt. We've had a plentiful stock of venison and Liz is always experimenting on how to prepare the various slices of venison. So, check out these recipes. I placed them all online, of course you can buy the complete book of Best Venison Recipes and print it out! If you'd like to help out my cause, as I mentioned, I put all the recipes in a book that can be downloaded to your computer and printed out. It's only $3.47 and you can grab the book by clicking on Best Venison Recipes. Even if you don't want to download the book, I'd really appreciate a donation. There is a small button in the upper right hand corner of the page. Even $1.00 would help to keep these free recipes coming!

Categories: meats, game Yield: 4 servings 4 lb...
Marinate meat overnight in whole milk. Discard marinade. Pat dry. Roll roast in seasoned flour and brown in hot cooking oil in Dutch oven. When brown on all sides, remove the roast from the pot. In the same pan, saute the onion, green pepper, and garlic over moderate heat for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add tomatoes, sugar, wine, and thyme to the Dutch oven and heat. Place the parsley, cloves, peppercorns, and bay leaves on a piece of double-thickness cheese cloth, and tie with a string into a bag. Add the bag to pot. When the mixture is boiling, add the browned roast and baste with sauce. Cover and cook at 350 degrees F. for about 2 1/2 hours, until tender. Baste several times with pan juices during the roasting, slice thinly, and serve with pan juices. Stuffed Venison Pinwhells Yield: 8 servings 2 whole venison backstraps, 1 rolled out 1/4 in. thick 1 qt whole milk 2 ts wild game seasoning 1 lb velveeta cheese 1 cn rotel tomatoes with diced 1 chiles 2 lb thinly sliced lean bacon 1/2 c thinly sliced green onions 8 cloves garlic, finely mince First, prepare the backstrap fillet. It's an extremely tender tubelike piece of meat about 12 inches long and 2 to 3 inches in diameter. And because of its shape, it can be cut around the perimeter, 1/4 inch thick, and rolled out flat. To do this, you need a very sharp knife. Start by laying out the fillet perpendicular to your body and making a shallow slice about 1/4 inch deep in the meat. Then, as if slicing through and unrolling paper towels from a roll, begin working around the outside perimeter of the fillet until the backstrap comes out looking like a round steak. It takes a little practice to do ... but you can do it! When the meat is ready, place both pieces into a glass or plastic container and cover them with whole milk. You want to marinate the venison for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight. The milk tenderizes the deer and helps to remove any unwanted gamey flavor. After the marination process, remove the meat from the milk (you can discard the milk), and pat the venison dry with several paper towels. Then liberally sprinkle both sides with wild game seasoning and rub it briskly into the meat. At this point, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Then, in your food processor, mix together the Velveeta cheese and the Rotel tomatoes until smooth and creamy. When you're ready to make the pinwheels, spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture evenly over one side of the deer. Then place a layer of bacon strips - side by side - on top of the cheese. Finish up the preparation by lightly sprinkling on a little sliced green onions and a little minced garlic. Now tightly roll up the flattened fillets and set them aside momentarily. Then on the same work surface, lay out another 8 to 10 strips of bacon side by side and put one of the rolled backstraps on top of them. Now wrap the bacon strips around the venison and pin them in place with toothpicks. When you are finished, the backstrap should be completely encased in bacon strips. Repeat with the other backstrap. All that's left is to take a sharp knife, slice the rolled venison into 2 inch thick pinwheels, position them on a shallow cookie sheet, and bake them - uncovered - in the oven for about 40 to 45 minutes. You'll notice that a light sauce will form in the bottom of the cookie sheet; you can use this to baste the pinwheels as they cook. The one thing you don't want to do is overcook the venison - it will come out dry and chewy instead of juicy and tender if you do! Note: If you don't have wild game seasoning on hand, you can lightly sprinkle the venison with salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and sweet basil as a substitute.
