I've found buttermilk to be good for marinating venison too.<br /><br />This recipe is good because the sauce goes all through the meat.<br /><br />I should have mentioned that I made this a couple of days ahead of time so the meat really had time to absorb the flavor of the sauce.The Cookbook Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04800004451856078252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-12455328298452923662009-04-22T15:37:00.000-04:002009-04-22T15:37:00.000-04:00My husband hunts, as does his brother.

I like ground venison mixed with a little beef to give it body & cut any "gamey" flavor (1 lb. beef with 3 lbs. venison) and made a great stir-fry with backstraps last week - they were actually soft and very good (for some reason they're usually a little tough, but with good flavor).Saranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-46199644424571380172009-04-22T15:21:00.000-04:002009-04-22T15:21:00.000-04:00If my DH actually "got a deer" we would eat it :-)...If my DH actually "got a deer" we would eat it :-)Rebel In Ontariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08898426309114426885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-87898855554734717752009-04-22T12:44:00.000-04:002009-04-22T12:44:00.000-04:00My husband comes from a long line of fill-the-free...My husband comes from a long line of fill-the-freezer-to-feed-the-family hunters (they ate ANYTHING, and I mean anything, they killed) and we haven't had it in ages as he doesn't get the chance to hunt these days, but we would eat it!Heather https://www.blogger.com/profile/13442874670876152187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-64808186899439901482009-04-22T12:20:00.000-04:002009-04-22T12:20:00.000-04:00All the guys in my family are hunters, they go up ...All the guys in my family are hunters, they go up every year.

The license limits how much meat he can eat, so he keeps a list of interested families who can come and field dress the deer when he shoots them. We need to get back on that list. The deer are usually fairly young, thus very mild in flavor. My husband processes them himself and is meticulous about it, further adding to the mild flavor.<br /><br />I love venison in fajitas. They're the best I've ever had!Annie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123644833186800503noreply@blogger.com
