Blackened Venison Steak Sandwiches ~
from Cindy & Dennis Starr
Venison backstrap or tenderloin cut into thin (1/4" max) slices is best.

RUB:
2 tbs black pepper
1/2 tbs cayenne
1 tbs Kosher (or other large granuled) salt
1 tsp mustard powder
1 tbs oregano

OTHER:
1/2 onion, very finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, very finely chopped

 

Marinate in red wine or milk to saturate with moisture (24 hrs. max). Mix RUB ingredients and spread on shallow plate or wax paper. Lay each slice of venison in the rub mixture, first one side then the other, so that both sides are coated with the rub. Using a paper towel or napkin coat a medium or large iron skillet with olive oil. Add remaining RUB mixture, chopped ONIONS and GARLIC to skillet. Set skillet on MED-HI heat until onions begin to soften. Add VENISON to skillet, cooking no more than a minute (more or less) per side. Be careful because it's very easy to overcook.

Remove immediately from heat and serve on sandwich rolls with mayonnaise, tomatoes, lettuce, etc

Thaw meat in salt water. Slice the loin (lengthwise just like jerky strips) into pieces about 6" long and 1/4" thick. Boil for 7-10 minutes in large boiler. Drain water then place meat, sugar, broth, pepper, onion, tomatoes, and sauce together in crock pot. Simmer on low for 12 to 16 hours.

Spicy Venison Jerky ~ from Chris Gessner
5 oz hot sauce

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground pepper

1/2 cup worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon seasoned salt

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

salt

 

Lay your meat out on aluminum foil and on dash it with salt. Take a tenderizer and beat the salt into the meat, or just take your fingers and massage the salt in.Doing this will make the finished product more tender. Next mix all of your stuff in a bowl. Take your meat and and let it marinade for a least 4 hours(works better if done overnight). Cover the bowl with an air tight lid and put in the refrigerator. Put in the dehydrator for 24 hours.

Enjoy your Jerky.

Works good on any type of game meat.

 
Mustard Fried Venison ~ from Peggy Snyder
Venison - any part, ham, steak, roast, tenderlion, etc

Allegro Game Tame or Dale's Seasoning

French's Mustard

Corn Meal (not the rising kind)

 

Take any part of the deer meat and cut into cubes approx. 1"X1" or slightly larger.

Marinate venison cubes in either Allegro or Dale's seasoning anywhere from 18 - 24 hours. Remove from marinage and then put in container with French's Mustard (apply liberally) and marinate for another 8 - 12 hours.

Take cubes and place in Zip-Loc bag with corn meal and shake, coating cubes thourghly with the corn meal.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or any frying set-up. Place approx. 15 - 20 venison cubes in at a time for 2 1/2 minutes. Remove and set on napkins to drain.

Eat, Enjoy and losen your belt.

Also excellent with duck, goose, elk and other game...

 
Deer Ham ~ from  Mabel Starr
1 whole deer ham

1-2 pounds sausage (I like the HOT Cajun kind)

1 pound bacon (the cheaper and fatter the better)

Black pepper

Ground sage

 

First bone the ham leaving the whole ham in tact. If you start on the medial (inside) of the ham and make your primary incision along the Femur (thigh bone) and then carefully cut around the pelvis you'll end up with a totally boneless ham with a "T" shaped cavity where the bones used to be.

Pack the cavity with sausage. You can use links, but I like bulk sausage better. Then tie the ham up, folding in all the flaps with COTTON string. Do use synthetics unless you want a melted plastic mess.

Rub the outside of the ham down well with sage and plenty of black pepper. Take the bacon and attach it to the lateral side (outside) of the ham with toothpicks.

Build a hot fire in your water smoker and place the ham in it overnight. Also cooks well in a Holland grill for about 4-5 hours (until inside temp is 140-145 degrees) as long as you add Hickory chips. Will cook in the oven at 375-400 degrees in 4-5 hours but doesn't taste as good.

If you have a large enough ham try adding 4-5 boneless chicken breasts to the sausage stuffing. Makes a very interesting presentation when sliced across (3 different colors of meat in each slice)

Dissolve the French's seasoning in about 3 cups of water and pour into a dutch oven large enough to accomodate the ingredents. Now add the meat, oil, bay leaves, black pepper, and sauted vegetables to the mix. Add enough water to cover the venison about 2/3. (DO NOT ADD SALT.) Cover pot and place in oven on bake at 250 degrees for 8-10 Hrs. "SO GOOD YOU'LL WANT TO SLAP YOUR MOMMA"

2 lb Deer roast

1 1/2 cups water

2 beef boullion cubes

1/2 tsp diced garlic

approx. 1 1/2 tbs horseradish

1 tbs all purpose flour

1/4 cup water

 

Preheat oven to 325. Sear deer meat in dutch oven on top of stove. Add garlic around the sides of the meat, brown garlic for a minute, careful not to burn. Add enough water to bring level half way up the deer meat, add boullion cubes (one on each side.) Place horseradish in smooth layer over the deer meat. Cover and put in oven for about 2 1/2 hrs. Meat should flake easily when done. When meat is done remove to covered serving dish and place in warm oven. Place dutch oven with drippings on burner turned to medium.

Grilled Venison Loin ~ from Tyler Starr.
Venison Loin (cut into 3/4 to 1 inch fillets)

1 cup red wine

1 cup Dales seasoning

garlic powder, red pepper & coarse ground black pepper to taste

 

Combine wine, Dales, & dry spices in a container suitable to marinate. Add meat & refrigerate for 4 - 6 hours. Wrap meat in bacon then secure with toothpicks. Grill to taste over medium heat. This is a great recipie for foolish people who claim they don't like venison. The marinade removes any hint of wild flavor. Make sure guest's taste the meat before habitually drowning it with steak sauce (an insult to the chef in my family). Then let them go ahead & believe you went to great expense at the local meat market.
