If you live anywhere near a hunter or hunting area, then
chances are you are going to get some deer meat. There are
some great, easy recipes besides the old, tried and
true-deer chili, deer stew, deer roast with vegetables,
deer stroganoff, grilled venison tenderloins or chicken
fried deer steaks with gravy and mashed potatoes.
Deer Jerky
You aren't a true deer connoisseur unless you have tried to
make your own deer jerky. You don't have to have a
dehydrator; you can use your oven, set on 200-250, with a
hot pad stuck in the oven door to let the moist air out. It
can take anywhere from 5-10 hours, depending on how chewy
you want it. You can use the meat from the ribs, the flank
steaks and the scrap meat that doesn't end up ground in
hamburger or sausage for this. Keep in mind that the meat
you start with, ends up about a half or two thirds less
after drying. Marinate ¼ inch strips and pieces
overnight, in some liquid smoke, Tabasco sauce,
Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, a little seasoning salt,
garlic powder and onion powder. Next day, spread meat on
wire rack, foil underneath and put in oven until done, 5-10
hours.
An easy appetizer is Venison Cherry Spread
1 pkg. of softened cream cheese, ¼ to ½ cup
of dried or fresh crushed cherries or pie filing and
leftover cooked venison, roast or ground, (and a few red
pepper flakes if desired for heat) and spread on crackers.
Venison Roll-ups are another easy appetizer
Simply slice steaks with the grain to make thin breakfast
steaks. Roll around two or three asparagus or green onions,
or one of each and secure with a moistened toothpick and
throw on the grill until the meat turns brown.
Venison Roast Pizza is an easy leftover meal
Get a cooked, prepared pizza dough, or use a loaf of
flatbread or French bread, split. Mix 1 pkg. of softened
cream cheese with a tablespoon each of: horseradish sauce,
ranch dressing, Italian dressing and spread on pizza dough
or bread. Top with leftover venison roast or cooked ground
venison, onions, pepper, olives or mushrooms, as desired,
top with Italian blend or mozzarella cheese, bake at 350
until golden brown and cheese melts.
Crescent roll Venison Lasagna pie
Take 2 rolls of crescents and open on a pizza pan or (large
round baking pan), spread with tips outward, like a sun
shape. Mix together: ½ pound of venison, ½
pound sausage, tomato sauce, onions, peppers and green and
black olives, and one pack of dry ranch dressing, prepared
as instructions. Once mixed, place in the center of the
"Sun", top with shredded cheese, fold all the points
towards the middle, and bake at 375 until golden and inside
is bubbly.
Venison Cottage Cheese Pie
Mix 1 pound of ground venison, mushrooms and onions
together and put in a 9" frozen pie shell. In a separate
bowl, beat 2 eggs and add 1 cup of cottage cheese and pour
over the top of the meat mixture. Bake at 350 for 30-40
minutes until set, or top mixture turns golden brown.
Whether you're an avid hunter or just someone who enjoys
the offerings of a hunter you are sure to impress somebody
with these easy venison recipes.
