TOTALLY OT!!!! (about deer) dont read if your "vegan"

So at my hubby got a chunk of deer meat from his friend who owns a restuarant........... IS deer meat any good, ive never tried it? Im thinking a slow roast in the oven...... maybe? -I love meat.... no where near being a vegatarian/vegan, (those of you that are vegans, this post is clearly not for you.) Just so we dont get any hard feelings.

Yes, i actually read that its VERY healthy, much less fat then beef. =) thats a major plus...

I personally am not a deer meat fan, I think it tastes too tough and "gamey" theres not a lot of marbling in it, so if you ground it for burgers, you'll want to mix in some fat. I've had it in stew and again its not awful, just not tender by any means, and not too much flavor with it. My dad has made some really good jerky with it, using his dehydrator. I like Elk and Oryx myself, although nothing beats good ol' home grown beef :0)

Good luck!

I will not eat it.  The smell of it makes me sick.   It has a "wild" strong taste.  It reminds me of liver.

i.LOVE. venison. we use backstrap and make some tasty zesty sauces for it...you can also make fried backstrap, or use it in roasts or stews....there are so many different things you can do with it. I actually prefer ground venison in my hamburger helper now because it's so much healthier and has such a good flavor :)
