Now that most large game hunting is done,lets see some good eats!

Mrs farmer is an excellent chef.
venison swedish meatballs.
(I should have taken a 'before' picture)

Looks good ks5shooter and armeredfarmer. I like to soak over night in Italian dressing and use a rub.

Sorry on pics, today I made a few small stakes I cut from the hindcorter. Just some spg a drop of oil and butter and a few garlic cloves. Had to share some with the cat, ran out off cat food last night.

I've had my eye on the one green mountain pellet grill, it's portable and works off ac/dc. There low $300 to. Good temp range 150° to about 550°

Three nice bucks and a doe in our freezer this season. I will be making several posts here. I enjoy making and eating meals made with home grown venison.
Great thread!
teriyaki summer sausage, cheese, crackers, Mrs. Farmers french baguette. Cold adult beverage.
a family favorite:
Venison fajitas.

On one else I my home likes any game meat, I can't even cook it when there home. My dad eats about anything like me. Hope to get out for some crappie the next few weeks before trout.

I to think this is a great thread as well, hope for a turkey this season maybe 2 if I am very lucky. Same like the deer soak the breast in Italian dressing and use some spg or preferred seasoning and cook on the grill or smoker. Best Turkey I've ever had.

I have been enjoying more venison than usual lately because mrs farmer's new diet plan is very venison friendly. Several recipes in the book.
Win/win for me!

Venison lasagna with zucchini noodles....?
*edit....it was darned good too!

Bacon wrapped elk backstrap, done on the grill. Actually, the bacon isn't necessary, just a coarse black pepper rub turns out great too.

I don't have pictures, but picture cubed deer steaks... tenderloin, backstrap, whatever... it's all different degrees of good... battered in whole wheat flour (hard red or soft white) with garlic powder and pepper (black or cayenne), fried, and the excess flour becomes gravy. Add any variation of mashed potatoes and greens and it's a plateful.

Maybe put those same steaks in the oven with your favorite bbq sauce.

Deer steak fajitas... I've done that too.

Fresh out of the smokehouse...

Chicken fried venison sirloins with risotto and biscuits.

Also made some delicious Osso Bucco with some shanks.... ended up digging into the finished product before pics. But here's a few of the prep lol! One of our favorite dishes.

I'll have to try that, do you pound the meat tender like beef.

Yep. I use a small cast iron skillet to pound them to about 1/4" thick (I cut the steak about 1/2" thick to start). Buttermilk drench and seasoned flour dredge twice. The cook about 2 minutes per side. Tender and moist as can be.

Be well

Pounding them thinner, for me, is usually an eliminated step, the meat being cubed, but it sounds like my understanding of schnitzel.

Finger Food......smoked jerky and sticks. (not made from fingers, eaten with your fingers)

Aw crap guys, only game I get these days are at game dinners.

Aw, come on now......substitute ground venison for ground beef, in your hamburger helper.
Venison chili?

I’ve never seen game for sale at Winn Dixie. Walmart or Publix.
My club in R.I. gets road kill deer, whats usable is processed and frozen for winter game dinners. Unfortunately I’m always in Florida during those months. Game dinners were quite popular in the Ocean State Until the law makers decided if tickets were sold to the public all meats had to be USDA inspected. So now it’s pretty much private clubs with word of mouth and donations accepted type of thing.

So far no posts on Liver. IMO one of the best parts.
In my Maine hunting days Deer liver went from carcass to plate at the hunting camp on the same day it was harvested. Smothered in onions crisp bacon and brown gravy no finer meal could be had.

Now that sounds and looks tasty!

Ok I ‘d give the elk a go but it would need a generous dab of wasabi and soy sauce.
