I have found venison to be a hit or miss experience. Your recipe sounds good and simple.

The second recipe sounds really good.

On the subject, a freind of mine gave us a venison roast that had been prepared by a Mexican restaurant owner. Oven roasted, cut into chunks and then simmered in a heavy cayenne pepper sauce. Man that was fantastic. I hade it over grits for breakfast 3 days in a row.

When I took my first deer several years ago, my wife wasn't to keen on eating any of it although she did eat some venison steak. Well a friend shared some summer sausage with me and gave me the recipe. I went home and made some got my wife to try it she thought it was o.k. After having it a few times she started making it and taking it to work when they have their holiday dinners, the platter is always empty when she comes home.

As for the meat balls they are very good. Always a hit at a get together, cook them up then put them in a crock pot to take them to the family dinner there is never any left over.

Now my wife eats venison often. Chili at our house is always venison chili.

I've never had a venison roast but someday I will it sounds pretty good.
(we process our own deer and usually grind the most of it)


Anybody else have a venison recipe that they like share it so we can try it.

If you kill it you might as well eat it.

I will make a deer roast just about like a pot roast. Tastes great every time.

Simpler the better with venison. It has a very delicate flavor that is easy to overwhelm, at least meat which was properly cared for does.

My favorite is backstrap roasts - rub with salt, cracked pepper, onion & garlic powder.

Wrap it up with sliced bacon, hold with toothpicks.

Grill turning often to rare or MR- 140 internal at the most. To die for. If you like a sauce, try a horseradish cream sauce like you would use for prime rib.

If you don't like rare meat, forget it. Venison is too lean for well done.
