Venison Goodness!
« on: March 26, 2018, 09:27:28 PM »
  Venison tenderloin cooked in olive oil with crushed garlic....boiled potatoes and fresh turnip greens. What more could a red-blooded man want??



 My wife can cook it 9 ways from Sunday and we raised 4 kids on it.

  Anyone else like venison?

Howdy Cholla,

It's clear from the photo that your wife really knows how to cook venison. That's the best looking piece of venison I've ever seen, including any I've made. I bet it was tasty.

When cooked right, Venison is absolutely fabulous  ;D

You asked "What more could a red-blooded man want??"  Simple.  A much bigger portion   ::)

No it needs cooked so it's not dry and tough.  Just like steaks the more doneness desired the fewer the cooks that can get it right.   

Anyone can half cook meat and if that's what you want that's fine.  But few can full cook it and develop the full Malliard reactions from the simple sugars in the meat and not mess it up.

 Half cooked? Never heard that term before. Does that refer to rare and medium rare cooked meat?

 IMO there are 5 ways a steak may be cooked- Rare, Medium Rare, Almost Ruined, Ruined and Inedible. Never saw any sense in turning a perfectly good steak into a piece of jerky.  ;D

And my point is made, anyone can half cook one, few can cook one fully and not ruin it.  But the ones who can't often assume no one can.  And yes, there is more than one method.  Steak houses don't want to do it because it takes more time and the average bubba can't do it.

 I still don't what you mean by half cooked.

 And as I'm sure you know, cooking venison/elk steak and cooking beef steak are two entirely different subjects and techniques.

Best tenderloins I ever had were cooked on a stick over an open fire hours just hours after the deer was down.

 I had elk tenderloin similar to that. Carried off the mountain over the pommel of my saddle. Didn't seem to affect the taste!  ;D

Howdy Cholla,

"didn't affect the taste"? Of the elk or the saddle?

 Hey that was a very interesting article, and I concur that medium rare is just about right. I didn't know about the marbling or fat melting and distributing flavor through the meat.

 That's the one thing that makes venison, elk, et al different; no marbling. And that makes it VERY easy to overcook a venison steak and have yourself a dry piece of meat. On the rare occasion I do cook it I try to use a hot fire to sear the outside and not cook it very long, because as they say:  "You can't put the $h1t back in the horse, and you can't un-cook a steak!"

 Man....that would be terrible! One year back when all four kids stilled lived at home we shot 4 or 5 deer during season, and ran out of meat in August. That was rough.

  My wife has been cooking backstrap quite a bit lately and I'm afraid we're getting low.
