I've never eaten venison before and need a good recipe for steaks. Please help, I'm hungry.

Thanks Shaun. That's how I thought but I like a good sauce or gravy too. Got Port, Madeira, redcurrant jelly shallots, herbs etc and some home made chicken stock in the store cupboard.

Marinade it over night beforehand. Put a little port in the marinade.

She's HUNGRY. Marinade it with port after you eat it Ice.

Thanks Parrot. Is an overnight marinade the best thing to do? I really want to like venison as I have waited 51 years to taste it. :shock:

Might marinade myself with port after I eat it WG.

I am hungry Shaun but I can rustle up something quickly. Just want to get the best out of the venison.

ohh have some toast then

when you fry it just give it a quick blast in a realy hot pan and leave for a about 10 minutes to rest

Ice · « **Reply #12 on:** May 12, 2007, 22:14 »

So treat it like a good beef steak then. I'll marinade one piece overnight and flash fry the other tonight. Might invent a sauce with port, redcurrant jelly shallots and lemon juice.

Cheers.

Why not do both?

Do you know the source of your venison? ie; farmed or wild.

The marinade not only makes it taste delicious but tenderises the meat also. It was always wild roe venison that we used to eat. For a wild animal that spent it`s life pronking and running around it was VERY tender. Real melt in the mouth stuff. Wild roe meat is the only venison I have ever eaten. Beautiful lean and tasty meat.

It`s also lovely roasted. Just baste it regularly.

Enjoy yours.

Oh my god, I just ate Bambi and it was wonderful.

What I had today was just something I spotted in the evil Tesco. Thought that if this was good then venison from a decent local butcher must be a hundred times better. Can't wait to try the real thing. My sauce needs refining, but experimenting will be a pleasure. Can't believe I waited 51 years to try it.
