Does anyone have any great ideas for butterfly steak ( have some soaking in milk at home for tonights dinner ),but i'm one of those cooks that like to experiment with it.

Love to hunt and fish-here in S.Carolina we are aloud unlimited bucks and 2 does per doe day(17 days ). So the freezer is always full of nice lean wild meat-also have seen some wild hogs if any recipes are out ther.

Thanks Tally:eat: :eat: :eat: :eat:

Make venison jerky!!
It's lean, you can make it taste all diff. kinds of ways, and you don't need anything special to do it...just set your oven on the lowest setting (when I had an oven I used to crack the door on the Warm setting) and let it sit for *hours*...

Hey Lemon! It's been a while. I know you were travelling for a bit but good to see you around.

Now back to the thread: Where can you buy deer meat? I want to try some and I hear it's really lean...

Hope there are some good, healthy replies on this. The only thing my family ever did was soak it in milk for a while, slap on some four and garlic salt, and deep fry it. Tasty, but artery clogging. I got a whole freezer full as well.

I've never tried the milk thing. I marinate with red wine. Alcohol makes everything more tenderer and more tastierer.

I just made some great tasting chili w/some deer meat. We also made some good beef stew (sans white potatoes) this past week as well.

Sounds great like to see the ingred. if you got time.Tried some jerky the other night(some stew meat i had cut and ground it up,but i forgot to add some pork sausage like i did last year and when i got up in the morning to check it ,it was so dry i wouldn't even let the dog eat it.Plus i used my oven which at the lowest setting it's 170-friend told me to get a dehydrator,but can't afford one at this time.:eat:

At the hunting camp my uncle used take the back straps and soak in them Dr Pepper. I know weird but it tasted it good. He then did the same thing you do with frying it.

i live on deer jerkey. i went to walmart and bought 2 of the $20 dehydrators. i can do about 6 lbs of deer at a time. it takes about 5 hours per load. this is my recipe. it works good on a roast to, it takes the game flavor out of it. i do the roast on my smoker.

for 3 lbs of meat

2/3 C Worcestershire sauce
2/3 C of soy sauce
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
2-3 tsp crushed red peppers or the powder works to

mix it all up and let it set in the fridge over night in a ziploc bag make sure you get all the air out to. pat it dry with some paper towles before you put it on the dehydrator or you can add another 2 hours to the time. slice the meat about 1/4" thick to, it will shrink down alot.

When I soak my steaks I soak them in buttermilk for 2-3 days (completely flushes the gamey taste from it) I use the same flour and seasoning method, and I use just a little bit of olive oil to fry them in. Olive oil is as good as it gets when it comes to oil. I can't say that there are really any negatives to using it. It is good fat, and aids in losing body fat. I tried something new a couple of weeks ago, I took a whole back strap and soaked it in buttermilk and marinade for a little over 3 days, then I seasoned the outside and took the leftover marinade and injectd the meat with it. Then I took it and grilled it like a tri tip (not sure if you know what that is or not, my in laws didn't... if you don't know what that is, it is a cut of beef that is kind of like a roast, just not cut from where a roast would be.) It cooked up great, and stayed very tender. I cut it up into steaks just like you would do with a backstrap uncooked. You might give that a try, it came out really good, I know I will be doing it again, I just got back from Michigan, and I got a huge doe and a decent size buck (8 point or 4x4 depending on how you count it) 18 inch spread
