sophiepants 489 Posted November 18, 2013 Ok, I need some help with recipes specific to cooking venison and elk meat.< /p> My husband got his buck over the weekend and is on his elk hunting this week. We have 200 pounds of venison.....sigh I am not a fan of venison! (never have been) Do not like the gamey taste AT ALL. Elk however I do really like. So I have never cooked either. My husband fries them in butter and season. "YIKES" So my question is there anyone who can help me out by sharing recipe's that are sleeve friendly Any replies are a huge help!!!

Arts137 1,811 Posted November 18, 2013 marianade portions cubed in an acid marianade (lemon juice or orange juice (cut with H2O and spices) for 25 or 48 hours and make a slow cooker stew. The marianage will cut the gaminess. These meats are very lean, so you CAN add some good fat. 1 sophiepants reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bufflehead 6,358 Posted November 18, 2013 My mom does elk in the crock pot with red wine and beef bouillon, I think pretty similar to this recipe. It is so good! http://www.rmef.org/TheHunt/After/CarnivoresKitchen/Recipes/Slow-CookedGarlicandHerb-StuddedElkRoast.aspx 2 piercedqt78 and sophiepants reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

danaevett 179 Posted November 18, 2013 If you grill it, be sure to not overcook it. It makes a huge difference in the taste and texture. 1 sophiepants reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RJ'S/beginning 5,358 Posted November 18, 2013 marinading these meats are important....They are very lean and dry out fast...Cook as you would a roast but not as long....there are many marinades out there for beef...You can use onion Soup mix, yogurt garlic and thyme....The sauce makes a great gravy! My son bagged a moose 2 years ago and we ate a lot of moose meat.....using the slow cooker was a life saver.... 1 sophiepants reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleevebgood 1 Posted November 22, 2013 Have your butcher mix in some ground pork sausage and make you a ground meat. You can use this for tacos (wonderful) and meat loaf (also wonderful). No gaminess! 1 sophiepants reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeph 3 Posted November 22, 2013 I use Tomato, garlic and onion to flavor venison. Also, steak seasoning is great on hamburgers. Next time, tell him to go for a nice, plump doe. The meat always tastes better! 1 sophiepants reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sophiepants 489 Posted November 23, 2013 K so I tryd this tonight for dinner. Got the main recipe somewhere. I think on here but not positive. I'm saying 2 mini muffins is one serving. Recipe made 30 mini muffins 15 serving per patch Venison Mini Meatloaf Muffins 1 Pound Deer hamburger 1 C Parmesan cheese (grated) 1 C Tomato Sauce (low sodium) Save half (4 oz) for topping 1/2 tsp Garlic powder 1/2 tsp Onion powder 1/4 Diced Onion (optional) 1 Package Instant mash Potatoes (I tbsp per muffin) Mix first 6 items together well. Fill mini muffin pan with meat mix. Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes About 10 minutes in I added the potatoes on top. Finished cooking then drizzle remaining tomato sauce over each mini meatloaf. and EAT. I'm pleased to say it was Devine. Which is saying something because I used to puke each time I tried venison. Let me know if anyone trys it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
