Ground deer meat
Posted on 12/7/18 at 12:36 pm

Whenever browning ground deer meat, I typically drain it and then put it back in the pan for chili or spaghetti or whatever. I noticed if I ever rinsed it, I would get a chalky, gritty, white substance that wouldn’t rinse away. It made chili a mealy texture too. Anyone experience this?
Seems like I also get that texture/consistency if I over cook deer meat. Like putting chili in a crockpot and cooking for several hours.
I get my deer processed at a really popular place, so I figure they know what they are doing, but just not sure why lean meat would react that way to a rinse in water.
TIA.
Pretty sure it’s tallow, but just curios why it’s so different from ground beef.

1. You shouldn't ever have enough grease at the end of browning ground deer
2. why on earth would you rinse it?

I don’t have any beef fat. It’s ground deer meat and really lean. I just drain off any grease and start with the meat.

I don’t normally rinse it. I rinse ground beef and it’s jyst a habit.
I rinsed some ground deer meat and got a chalky film covering the meat. Just asking if anyone else had ever experienced it.
Jeez.

what grease? Im not following... there is no grease in 100% deer. Hell i dont have any in my 90/10 deee

I agree with others as your rinsing away all the natural flavors and overthinking your cooking process. Just brown the meat, cook down your onions, garlic, bell pepper, etc... , and chili seasoning, and cook it slow and low.

You asked how much beef fat I have. I don’t have any. My ground deer is all deer. Very lean. Almost solid red. It has very few white specs in it.
When I brown it, I get a little grease left in the pan. I simply drain it, dump it in a crock pot and start cooking.
I rinsed it once out of habit of rinsing ground beef and got a chalky substance on my deer meat.
Waxy even. I’m asking if anyone else has ever had waxy ground deer meat.

I never rinse any ground meat I brown, so I have nothing to help you other than letting you know to stop rinsing everything

Don’t rinse after browning. It’s pointless and counterproductive

Tough crowd. Tough crowd.
Seems like I posted on the OT lounge and not the friendly Outdoor Board.

No we’re not a tough crowd. Rinsing browned meat is a mistake and we’re letting you know that like a good friend should.

Part of the never rinse crowd here. My poor mother in law used to boil ground beef for her spaghetti. I tolerated it a few times. Then I took over cooking it. Everyone said it was great and asked what I did. Yeah, browned it, drained some fat off, and put the sauce on it. Boiling is for noodles.

Not if you’ve got a heart condition. Or high cholesterol. Oh high blood pressure.
Just because you don’t agree with it doesn’t make it a mistake.

I've never heard of rinsing the meat.

These have been proven in the last few years that they don't directly correlate to fat/cholesterol found in meat. High blood pressure relates to sodium, but even then more related to genetics than diet.
I'm not in the meat rinse crowd either. Do you clean your meat of the tendons and silver skin prior to grinding? There is very little fat on a whitetail deer that would be found inside a cut of meat like marbling in a prime steak. I'm not sure what you're finding?

No.
Gut it or quartered and take to the processor. Not sure if other processors are a little more selective with how they trim before grinding is why I asked. Just to see if others have ever noticed it.

Are you rinsing the meat with plain water? If so, that’s your problem. Try putting a little dishsoap in it next time.
