Though I ate a good bit growing up I have zero experience cooking deer meat . I have a buddy giving me some tenderloin, blackstrap , cube steak and burger.

I'm tired of it but my son begs for fried blackstrap anytime we talk about cooking deer meat.

When we do deer burgers I will mix some Rouse's loose cajun sausage in before forming patties. Another favorite of theirs.

Tenderloin sliced thin, marinated and stuffed with green onion sausage and cream cheese then wrapped in bacon and grilled is another family staple.

Crock pot neck roast is the best.

Otherwise, on most other cuts I use a little salt and pepper, grill over wood, and serve with some garlic butter. If you butcher it right and cook it right, it's not tough and it doesn't taste anything but good. Sometimes we do fajitas in a marinade with the sirloin. Breakfast sausage with the random bits that get ground.

Not sure if it's a popular opinion here, but backstrap cut in thin strips and fried is awesome. I also like backstrap poppers on the pit - jalapeno, cream cheese, strip of backstrap, and wrapped in bacon.

Tenderize it, roll it in a seasoned flour (salt pepper garlic powder cayenne), then fry in a cast iron skillet.

Fry enough to have deer meat sandwiches for lunch the next day.

I take back strap and make a “veal” parmigiana. It’s pretty easy. Cut back strap in 1” steaks and beat them with a tenderizer hammer. Coat with bread crumbs and pan fry. For my sauce I use Monjuni’s jarred sauce and add a healthy serving of grated mozzarella before baking in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes.

Backstrap sliced about a quarter inch thick. Soaked in milk. Then dipped in flower. Fried in skillet on one side until blood starts popping up on the top. Flip and fry other side until brown. Doesn’t get any better.

Thanks for this idea. I have two freezers full of all types of cuts. We do baby gravy and Philly cheesesteaks with the BS.
Baby gravy, grill bs rare
Au Jus, butter, heavy cream, brandy and everglade seasoning very rich!

Marinate backstrap in Paul Newman's Own original dressing and grill. Simple but so good.

I cant believe you go through the trouble of all that to throw on sweet arse Monjuni jarred sauce. It takes less effort to make a quick marinara while you are prepping the rest.

Hank Shaw has a lot of good venison recipes. Steak Diane is one of my favorites.

hot and fast - rare to med-rare

backstrap

same as tenderloin

fried is great. Slice it, hit with meat hammer to tenderize, buttermilk, flour and fry

I like to dice it small, do a very fast and hot sear of the 1/2" cubes and make tacos. meat, white onion, and cilantro only. do not over cook

bigger cubes and make Kabobs

We got an entire deer this year, mostly made into sausage links. Here are a few things:

1. brown and slice into 1/2" rounds. mix with tortellini and red sauce ( have to cook the tortellini first)

2. brown and slice into thin rounds. Top a pizza and bake. i like pickled red onion and anchovies with venison as they're all bold flavors, cant' put weak flavors on this pizza.

3. brown partially and take off heat; slice an onion or two and 3-4 peppers (red and green combo), cook them way down (10-15 minutes) with some garlic paste, then add the sausage links back and cook down for 10-15 more minutes. Sausage and peppers is great.

Like most deer hunters I have several - it's all good as long as you don't over-cook it. My old supervisor shared this one with me. He's recently passed but it's a superstar appetizer but usually folks eat so many it becomes a meal. He never really had a name for it so I gave it the name Venison 2/4 Echo in honor of his USMC service in Vietnam.

Use backstrap (blackstrap if you prefer) or cube steak

Cut venison into strips approx 1 inch wide by 4 inches long; season or marinate as you will.

Cut large jalapeño peppers into quarters - remove stem and cap; remove membrane as you will to regulate heat

Cut mozzarella cheese into 1x1x4 strips or use half of a string cheese stick

Cut granny smith apples into slices about the same size as the pepper quarters - I leave mine unpeeled

Assemble the venison, cheese, pepper, and apple as a whole oriented the same way - wrap the entire ensemble with bacon and secure with toothpicks - be sure to include wrapping the ends.

Deep fry in batches of 7-9 pieces at 350-375 for 2 1/2 - 3 minutes. You can also grill these but it can be tricky to get it all cooked without burning the bacon - lower indirect heat works best for grilling. Sometimes I will also add a slice of sweet onion.

I make a sauce that most folks like (amounts are approximate and to taste):

1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup cane syrup
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 Tbs minced garlic
3-4 green onions sliced thin
powdered mustard
white pepper
powdered ginger
red pepper flakes and or siracha

Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are blended. Taste and correct - modify as desired.

I pour about half of the sauce over the deer "poppers" and save half for dipping. You nor your guests will be disappointed.
