I bought a book that is the absolute best for preparing and cooking game meats. It is called The Complete Guide to Game Care and Cookery by Sam Falada.
I agree with what he says in that book, Game doesn't HAVE to taste Gamey. If you use a pretty commonsense mix of marinades and sauces you can make it taste much more familiar.
Based on some of what he says, I made a recipe for Deer Chopped Steak using just about any cut.
Basically you take the deer meat, chop it and marinate it in beer with a little Soy Sauce about 15 - 25 min. On some wax paper crush some Saltine crackers and mix with flour (enough to cover the chopped meat and keep it about 50/50). Season the flour with salt, pepper, paprika and if you like to kick it up a notch use a little cayenne pepper. Mix it together evenly.
I cannot tell you exact measurements as I am an experienced cook and usually just throw it together.
Heat some oil in your skillet over Med high heat.
Roll the bites in the flour mixture.
Throw them in the hot skillet and cook them to desired temp. (well done, medium etc…)
Take a package of brown gravy (McCormick’s or Pioneer) and get make it in a separate sauce pan. Get it thick and when the bites are just done, turn off the heat and put the Gravy in with the bites. Stir around and let it sit 5 min. The serve with potatoes (baked or mashed) and creamed corn.
If I left something out, let me know. I am talkin' on the phone as I write this..... Sorry
