Hay all ----

Been cooking venison once or twice a week
since hunting season ---
and I must say I'm getting a little filled up
with the taste ---
The stakes are roasts I season with onion and
garlic powder or minced onions ---

Any good ideas ?????

    I get venison from a co-worker (trade for the wifes guava pastries)

    When he butchers, he makes steaks and then cubes them.

    I take said cubes, season with kosher salt and black pepper, and then make kabobs out of 'em. Soak bamboo skewers in water for a few hours, then alternate a piece of meat, chunk of onion and/or green pepper, etc.

    May also want to grind some with some apple wood smoked bacon and make burgers...

    Many moons ago (and I mean MANY) I made a road trip with a buddy of mine who was playing a show in New Philadelphia, Ohio. After the show was over and in the weeeeee hours of the morning we took the after hours party over to a fellas house. Needless to say, at that hour the munchies started to set in so this fella breaks out the cast iron skillet and some fresh back straps. Now this good old boy cubed up the back straps, then sliced up some green pepper, onion, and fresh garlic. He then gets the skillet nice and hot, throws in a sliver of butter, then all the ingredients. Only seasoning he used after that was kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Let me tell you it was the most fantastic assembly of late night drunken goodies I had ever had in my life! I was ready to fight over the last piece it was so good! Damn...now I'm hungry![:p][:p][:D][:D][8D][8D]

    Steak au Poivre

    Ingredients

    * 4 tenderloin steaks, 6 to 8 ounces each and no more than 1 1/2 inches thick
    * Kosher salt
    * 2 tablespoons whole peppercorns
    * 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
    * 1 teaspoon olive oil
    * 1/3 cup Cognac, plus 1 teaspoon
    * 1 cup heavy cream

    Directions

    Remove the steaks from the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour prior to cooking. Sprinkle all sides with salt.

    Coarsely crush the peppercorns with a mortar and pestle, the bottom of a cast iron skillet, or using a mallet and pie pan. Spread the peppercorns evenly onto a plate. Press the fillets, on both sides, into the pepper until it coats the surface. Set aside.

    In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil. As soon as the butter and oil begin to turn golden and smoke, gently place the steaks in the pan. For medium-rare, cook for 4 minutes on each side. Once done, remove the steaks to a plate, tent with foil and set aside. Pour off the excess fat but do not wipe or scrape the pan clean.

    Off of the heat, add 1/3 cup Cognac to the pan and carefully ignite the alcohol with a long match or firestick. Gently shake pan until the flames die. Return the pan to medium heat and add the cream. Bring the mixture to a boil and whisk until the sauce coats the back of a spoon, approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Add the teaspoon of Cognac and season, to taste, with salt. Add the steaks back to the pan, spoon the sauce over, and serve.

    Here's a good deer burger recipe.

    1. 1-1 1/2 pound deer burger
    2. One packet Lipton dry onion soup mix
    3. Dice an onion up (Optional)
    4. A couple Diced up mushroom's
    5. 1/2 Cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
    6. Black Pepper
    7. Season All Salt
    8. Garlic Powder

    Mix all that stuff together to make sure the cheese is blended in well to hold the burger's together. Throw em' on the grill preferably, or in a skillet over med/high heat until done to your liking. Side dish of some good ol' fresh Morel mushroom's cooked in lots of butter should be added within the next couple months.[:p]
