venison: what to do with it?

You can cook venison exactly as you would beef steak so fry grill or stew to your own taste

HI MM

We get all sorts of cuts of venison from a friend for the freezer. Have tried the marinating thing and found it totally unedible.

I just cube any venison and do a casserole type thing in SC with veg, stock, herbs, onionsand garlic and a plash of red wine. I do not like venison but DH does.

Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone, I think I'm going to use a combination of the above recipes. I'll let you know how I get on.

Chinese 5 spice - cinnamon, pepper, ground ginger

But tell me, odds-n-sods, why is it called 5 spice when you've only mentioned three :question:

We have been given a present of some Venison. I've never eaten or cooked it before. Has any one got some nice recipes to help me use it and not waste it. I have a slow cooker if this helps. Is there anything I need to look out for before I cook it and is there any specific preparations that it would need?

Thanks for yor help.

what cut/etc is it?

I always do my venison (hark at me sounding like Lady Muck of Dunghill - but then I have farmer and gamekeeper friends!) in a similar fashion to the equivalent joint of beef.

My favourite method is to marinate overnight in a mix of red wine and finely chopped onions and then casserole in the marinade, thickening with a mix of veg or gravy granules if needed. Hope that helps and that you enjoy the venison.

Hi turra,

Welcome to MSE :hello:

As others have said it will depend what cut of venison that you have. This older thread may help:

I've got one piece with a joint in it and another without, so thanks everybody for the ideas. Just need to get round to doing something with it from all the recipes. Red wine , mushrooms n shallots is looking good for the non jointed one.
