I often leave about a 6" section of loin in italian dressing overnight. Then after removing the next day add a little hickory to a smoke box and get the grille rolling. Then I take bacon and wrap the loin holding on the bacon with toothpicks. Grille low and slow until cooked to desired temp.
I make a marinade of soy sauce, a spoon full of honey, Black Pepper, and fresh diced ginger.
I marinate steaks, chops, loins, or straps overnight.
Grill each side for 5 to 6 minutes, Depending on thickness and desired outcome. ie….medium well.
Let rest for 5 minutes.
sprinkle with a little salt
and enjoy!

Grilled Butterfly Chops
Sprinkel Meat Tenderizer,Lawry’s seasoned salt,Western Sizzle Alaskan Salmon seasoning, rub in dry ingredients to both sides. Add Soy Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, Zesty Italian Dressing, how ever many you grill determans how much liquids to use, You can leave your chops in a container or put them in a freezer bag, I like a freezer bag. Marinade for about 2 hours,The longer they marinade the better, Grill on low heat, turning and adding leftover sauce as you grill, cookeing time is about 10 to 15 min. give or take a few min. Great with sauteed onions or mushrooms, ENJOY……….
Tenderloins,

backstaps n gravey
4lbs of backstraps cut in butterfly steaks rubbed with season salt and onion powder-let stand for 1/2 hour butter on one side and grill til medium rare. Then let while you prepare 2 bags of Wonder peppered gravy mix and 1 cup of chopped onion in a large cast frypan–add backstraps to the gravey mix and cook at simmer for one hour. Serve with crisp home frys and stir fried veggys
1 venison backstrap
bacon
4 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp garlic powder
Mix sugar, soy sauce, ginger and garlic powder. Marinade backstrap overnight, flipping once to get both sides. Wrap bacon strips around backstrap so it looks pretty much like a bunch of wrist watches going up an arm. Use a toothpick to hold them in place. You can go two ways with it now.
1. Put them on the grill away from the direct heat and cook until inside temp is 140*. Transfer to direct heat to brown if desired, but only for a short time.
2. Cut backstrap into steaks between the slices of bacon. Get the grill nice and hot, than sear the steaks, maybe 3 minutes on each side. If you want them a little more well done, move them off the direct heat and cook a little longer.
Smoked Venison Rounds
When butchering the deer leave one or more of the rounds whole (each leg has 3 “rounds”). Not sure what you can tell a butcher to leave for you, never taken one to be processed- sorry.
Overnight, marinade in one bottle of Worcestershire Sauce, one bottle of Soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder.
Fire up the smoker. I prefer an oak fire but other smoking woods will do just fine. Could also use indirect cooking on a grill with soaked wood chips.
Put the marinated round in the smoker until it reaches the correct internal temperature. Time varies depending on fire temp and smoker type/weather.
Take off the smoker and let it sit for about 20-30 minutes.
This part is key. With a sharp knife cut the round across the grain of the meat. If you don’t it will be chewy. Pieces about 1/8th inch wide is what I prefer. The pieces should look and fall apart like a cooked slice of brisket
Serve with your favorite sides or alone.
Grilled Bacon Wrapped Backstrap
Clean all silver skin and membrane from backstrap and rinse under cool water. Slice into 3/4" thick steaks (you can butterfly 1.5" steaks if you want larger steaks).
Wrap bacon around steaks (3/4" side), insert uncooked spaghetti noodle thru steak and bacon to hold bacon in place and break off about 1/4" outside bacon (spaghetti noodle will just cook up and you can eat it instead of worrying about toothpick), place in sealable container. Continue to wrap steaks and place in container until bottom is covered.
Pour Teriyaki sauce over steaks, liberally. Sprinkle a generous amount of Garlic Pepper on steaks.
Continue to build layers of steak, Teriyaki, and Garlic Pepper until you have all steaks you are preparing wrapped and into marinade.
Place top on container and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, overnight is best.
Fire up grill and cook until medium rare-DO NOT overcook as they will be too dry.
Remove from grill and enjoy.
Tenderloins
Soak in brown sugar salt and water for 24 hrs
Remove and roll in dry rub of fennel, dill, mint, pepper, with a hint of red pepper for spice. Let sit for about as long as it takes to heat the grill and throw them on. Let cook about five to ten min per side and enjoy.
Hot and Simple
Cube a backstrap, about 3/4 inch squared,
sear in a hot skillet with a small bit of olive oil.
Saute 1 chopped jalapeno,
1/2 chopped green pepper,
1/2 chopped onion,
1 tbsp. crushed red pepper,
a pinch of salt and black pepper, and
1 sm. can of sliced mushrooms in real butter.
Put them together over med. heat for 5 minutes and enjoy!
Quacky’s Chunks O’gold!
2lbs venison chunk meat (stew meat in bite size pieces)
1 cup molasses
1/4 cup sesame seed oil
2 cups water
1 tablespoon of sea salt (more or less to taste)
Optional – 1/4 cup lime juice if meat is too tough. This will help tenderize it a bit.
Combine all ingredients and then add the meat. Marinade meat overnight – minimum of 12 hours. Be sure to use a closed container so you can shake up the contents every so often to ensure coverage.
Heat grill red hot and toss these little chunks o’gold on the grate. By the time you are done laying the last one on it will be time to start back at the beginning and turn them over again.
Once you have turned them all over it’s time for them to come off. Now be prepared, if you are standing amongst friends, these will not make it to a plate. They taste best piping hot, right off the grill and into your mouth!
i take my backstraps, slice into 2 inch steaks, use a meat hammer to flatten out, place the meat into plastic container and soak in balsamic vinager and brown sugar over night, mix flour, onion powder, garlic powder salt and pepper, bread meat and fry
Bacon-wrapped Tenderloin.
Take a venison tenderloin on a shallow pan and liberally coat with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika. Douse with enough Worchestershire and soy sauce to coat. Let it sit for 30 minutes. Fire up the grill and sear the tenderloin and then wrap in thick sliced bacon. Wrap in foil and put on the upper rack for about 20-30 minutes. Then open up the foil and let it sizzle the bacon and finish and smoke for a little longer. Slice up and fight over the bacon. It’ll make your momma cry.
My BBQ venison recipe could not be any easier.I take the whole front shoulder, with bone in. Put in a slow cooker and cover with water, beef brooth and sliced onions. I may use both front shoulders if the deer is small. Cook until meat falls off the bone. Seperate the meat from the bone, fat and grissle. Pull the meat apart and place back in the slow cooker. Keep 1-2 cups of the brooth and place back into the slow cooker with the meat. Add a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce, stir in the bbq sauce and cook for a few more hours on low to allow the meat to absorbe the flavor of the BBQ sauce. It make great pulled venison sandwiches!
In a zip-loc freezer bag, I put strips of meat and coke, Dr. Pepper, or ginger-ale, squeeze in some limes and lemons, add cilantro, fresh cracked pepper corns, chipolte seasoning, crushed garlic, onions, and whatever other spices one wishes. Adjust according to your tastes. Let marinade for 4 hours or overnight, then throw onto a hot grill and cook as desired.

Marinated and grilled deer steaks.
we take the backstraps and cut then into 1" slices then butterfly the slices for a larger steak. We then put then into a large entree size plastic storage container to marinate. Everything gets onion and garlic powder, a bit of lemon pepper seasoning and some seasoned salt and topped with a dash of black pepper (you can also use hot or crushed red pepper if you want to kick it up a notch). Then add a shot of soy sauce and douse well with Worchestershire sauce. Put the top on the container, shake or turn it over a few times to coat all the meat with the mixture and refridgerate. While it marinates take it out once in awhile and shake or turn it over (carefully!) a few times to keep a good coating on the meat. After a few hours it is ready to grill. Grill to the desired doneness and serve. We usually have a flavored rice side dish, corn on the cob and/or fresh garden salad with it and it makes a pretty healthy meal.

Grilled Venison Tenderloin Medallions
Slice the venison tenderloin into one inch sections. Wrap each one, around the edge, with a strip of bacon. Use thin sliced bacon, and toothpick it into place. Season the venison medallions with a bit of cracked black pepper and salt.
Cook quickly over hot charcoal until medium rare to medium. After two minutes on each side, check the internal temperature. Medium rare is 145 degrees Fahrenheit… medium is 160F. Remove the grilled tenderloin medallions from the grill and serve immediately.

Venison tenderloin charcoal grilled in this manner can be accompanied with a baked potato, grilled zuchinni squash, and hot grilled and buttered french bread. Sounds like a plan to me!
Saltimboca (Bien Venidos al Gabaldon de Casa Vieja)
This is a classic recipe of the Italian cuisine, and a great way to do a tender piece of venison. For the showman, this is a natural for tableside chafing dish presentation, complete with flames and the most wonderful aroma imaginable.
For two people, you will need two, thin 4-5 ounce pieces of your venison, the sirloin or a tender slice of leg are ideal. With a meat hammer, or the side of a coke bottle, carefully flatten the meat till it is very thin. Try for a roughly square shape when you are done. On each piece of meat, place a couple very thin slices of real Italian Procciuto ham. On these, put a thin slice of good muzzarela cheese, about 1/8 inch thick. Now roll each package up, jellyroll fashion, tucking the ends in neatly. Tie in a couple places so they will hold together. The Saltimboca can be prepared to this point well ahead of when they will be needed. Just before serving, heat a heavy skillet or chafing dish, add:
2 Tbl. butter
Saute the Saltimboca in the butter until they are cooked through and lightly browned. Then add:
1/4 cup real Italian Dry Marsala Wine
Flame the wine,when flames go out, add:
2 Tbl. butter
Toss the Saltimboca around a bit until the butter is melted and forms a sauce. Serve with linguini, a nice salad and a bottle of dry red wine.
This is the old recipe from Casa Vieja Restaurant
Corrales, New Mexico, Circa 1975
To prepare this recipe I first make sure I have everything needed; Wooden rods(or metal).If I use wooden Then immediately they go into H2O to keep them from burning.
Next is prep of ingredients:
Dice & chop onion,green & red pepper
Get the backsrap of venison & slices of bacon out.
Either chop jalapeno peppers or I use Mt.Olive diced peppers.
On all ingredients use the amounts of peppers,onions,& the
Jalapenos you desire.
Salt & pepper to taste
Slice the backstapp from end to end lengthwise like an old
fashion jellyroll (do not cut loose) & continue until it looks like
a flat piece of meat. You sliced it where you can place all ingredients on meat as you roll back together.Place bacon around rolls using rods to hold on.
Place on grill & cook until medium or medium well. Let Rest.
Slice into circles width of slice of bacon & serve with your favorite vegetables,salads,etc.(not mentioned due every person
has different choices).
grilled rack-O-ribs. cut ribs in good size portions. rub down with butter. next shake on some lemon pepper and garlic salt. place on grill (med heat) for 10 min each side. serve. or you can baste them with BBQ sauce or what ever you prefer. not alot of meat but what you get is very tender and delicious

Step 6: Turn the grill down to 350 degrees and cook slowly until complete, Enjoy
We have been cooking these steaks this way for quite some time now and love it every time. Best when served with potatoes on the grill, mixed with onions and green peppers, and crazy jane seasoning.
Start with the back loin and cut into nice size portions. Take a good bottle of red wine, something you would drink, not junk and pour into saucepan with about a dozen pearl onions. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat. You want this to reduce down until it’s 1/3 of what it started.
Rub all sides with cracked pepper, kosher salt and good extra virgin olive oil. Grill on high heat until medium rare.
Let meat stand for 10 minutes then serve with reduction sauce. Goes great with some crusty bread and mashed potatoes.
Garlic Pepper and Cayenne Vennie- pre soak steaks or chops in soy sauce, worchestershire and olive oil. Sprinkle a bunch of garlic pepper on a plate and dust it with cayenne, depending on how hot you like it. Mix the spices around and rub on the steaks. Grill to your liking and enjoy. Works will with a cold beer!
Fresh backstrap covered with olive oil then rub / roll in fresh ground pepper and cayenne pepper … add blazing fire …cook either on a grill top or run a clean stick through meat and cook to your satisfaction > Yum
First thing, choose your target carefully. This recipe works better on a tender doe than an old swamp buck. When you butcher your deer, leave the backstraps in longer strips. Do not cut into medalions or even butterfly. Pachage them in butcher wrap paper. Take a package out of the freezer a week before you plan to grill. Leave it in the butcher wrap in a zip lock or other container in the fridge for the week. Blood will soak into the paper and out of the meat. A few hours before grilling, remove the vennie and dump the blood and butcher paper. You can use the same zip lock for marinade and meat. Add a small amount of olive oil, worcestershire, soy sauce, and a small amount of balsamic vinigar. Slosh around with the vennie in the zip lock. Now you have options for spice. Try McCormic Grill Mates peppercorn spice packet. Montreal steak is good too. Pour very generous amounts into the vennie and liquid bag. The vennie log should be well covered in spice mix. Let sit at room temp for an hour or two. Put the whole backstrap log on the grill over low heat. Flip only once and remove from the grill while the middle is still pink. Let it rest under foil for 15 more minutes and slice very thin. It will be some of the best tasting meat of any kind that you have ever eaten.
Backstraps (any kind) chunk the backstarp, wrap each chunk in bacon, put a toothpick through the wrap, marinate in 2 cups soy sauce, and a tablespoon of sesame seed oil, marinae for about 20 to 30 minutes, put straps on grill and cook until the bacon is done, then just eat it, you will never have anything else like it
Grill Deer Hamburgers
Take ground deer hamburger meat and add Onion Recipe Soup & Dip Mix to it. 1 pack for each pound of meat. After, you have made patties wrap a piece of bacon around the outside of each patty. Season burgers with desired amount of Tony’s. Put on grill. Cook until medium. Then put your choice of cheese on to melt. Once the cheese is melted take it off the grill. Put it on a toasted bun and add what you like to it. WOW I’M HUNGRY KNOW. ENJOY.
VENISON LION
Take your venison lion and place in a ziplock and pour enough milk to cover the meat – remove as much air as you can before sealing and place in fridge over night.
Next, take your lion and transfer to a new ziplock (or you can completely drain out all the milk from the old ziplock) In the new ziplock you will add your marinade – Lawry’s Steak & Chop Marinade is what we like. Marinade this in the fridge for a few more hours.
Take your lion out of the fridge and let it come up to room temp while you get your grill hot. Next we sprinkle some Canadian Steak Seasoning on and grill till desired temperature.
The soaking in milk really helps break down the fibers and lets the marinade soak into the meat. Be sure with venison you remove all that silver sink – that is what gives it that "gamey" taste.
Enjoy!!
Venison Bacon Bites
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar (or splenda)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/3 cup dried onions
– take all the above ingredients and place into blender or food processor and blend until all smooth.
Next take your Venison Back Strap (the lion) and cut into 1" chunks and marinade in a ziplock or container from your above mixture. Let these soak overnight to 24hrs. Next take bacon slices and cut in half of thirds and wrap around venison chunks. We layer them on a kabob stick and grill on a charcoal grill with some hickory wood added to the coals. Remove when bacon is cooked and enjoy!!
Nothing beats fresh backstrapps on an open fire at deer camp. Two six inch backstraps with one forth bottle of zesty italian with chopped onions, and green and red peppers in a pan over an open camp fire with a side of chopped potatoes and fully loaded beans
Can’t wait to try some of the recipes above! Below is my Stuffed and Grilled Venison Loin:
Ingredients:
1 large venison loin (backstrap)
2 cups breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons of white onion, chopped
2 tablespoons celery, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon of cracked black peppercorns
1 egg
1/4 to 1/2 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped fine
1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
Directions:
Saute the onions, celery and garlic in olive oil until tender. In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, sage and parsley. Mix in the sauted vegetables, the egg, and just enough beef broth to make the stuffing into a thick paste.
Trim any silverskin off of the venison loin. Butterfly the loin and season it lightly with salt and pepper on both sides. Cover the cut side of loin with the herbed stuffing, roll it back together and tie it with butchers string. (Soak the string in water before tying the loin to prevent it from burning on the grill.)
Grill the stuffed venison loin at a medium temperature for twenty to thirty minutes. Turn one time after fifteen minutes. Coat the outside of the loin with olive oil before it goes onto the grill, and baste with oil once more when it’s turned. Remove, slice into sections and serve.
Let me start by saying that half the people above should not be considered becuase it says best GRILLED recipe not just any venison recipe. However, there are a few new ones I have not seen and look forward to trying here soon.

4. Grill for 10 minutes, then turn over, and continue cooking until the bacon is crisp
Red Wine Backstrap- Take a whole backstrap, marinate in equal parts red cooking wine and olive oil at room temp for 6- 8 hours. Discard this mix b/c it will have a lot of blood in it. Cook on the grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending and how you like it.
Meanwhile, in a small sauce pan, mix some flour with olive oil until no clumps remain. Then place over heat, add red cooking wine- a splash or three- and mix. If too thick, add water to desired consistency. Add a splash of worchestershire sauce and a teaspoon of jalapeno pepper jelly and some capers if you like. Serve backstrap with a side salad. Freakin awesome and takes only 10 minutes!
(Very simple) Take a backstrap cut it long ways enough to fold it open like a hotdog bun. I lightly cover it with olive oil and then start filling.. I take cream cheese cut it in small peice,jalapenos cut up as you desire. I typically cut them in small slices and, with the strap laid open stuff with cheese and penos, fold closed.. I then take bacon and wrap it very well and stick it with toothpicks and stick it on the smoker for awhile and let it cook slow.. All that flavor cooks in and it will melt in your mouth..
I take my venison stakes salt, pepper, and any of your other favorite seasonings. coat your steaks and let the temperature come down (about an hour or less if your in a hurry). cook them on a low temp. grill turning frequently till about med. taste almost like homemade jerk. my kids will even eat it. quick and easy.
Backstrap ka-bobs
1 Backstrap, sliced @ 1" thick then cubed.
2-Bell peppers sliced evenly
12-mushrooms tops- sliced in half
6-Jalapeno peppers- sliced in half
Maranate in Zesty Italian dressing in a gallon zip lock bag or sealed container overnight in fridge. Soak skewers in water overnight. Build Ka-bobs evenly to use all ingredents and season with your favorite. Hopefully you have enough back strap left to build 2-3 meat only ka-bobs. Grill over high heat for 5-10 min. turning often.
Best when meat is medium rare.
Venison Carne Asada Tacos
1-2 lbs of very thinly sliced venison
1 lime
1 orange
1/4 tsp cumin
Chef Merito brand Steak & Meat Seasoning-Carne Asada or any
other Mexican Steak seasoning you have available in your area
1 white onion sliced into rings
Sprinkle the carne asada seasoning and the cumin evenly over both sides of the venison and pat it in to the meat. Throw all the meat into a large ziplock bag along with the sliced onion "rings" and squeeze the juice from the lime and orange into the bag. Seal up the bag removing as much air as possible and work it around to make sure the juice has had a chance to soak all of the meat. It’s not necessary to marinate it for too long, it’s good to go as soon as the briquettes are ready. Take the venison and onions and place on a hot grill. Cook for 2 minutes or so on each side, you want the edges to get a little crisp but the center to stay as moist as possible. After you remove the meat from the grill chop it up with a cleaver into bite sized pieces. Quickly warm the tortillas on the grill and serve with the grilled onions, chopped white onion, cilantro and a hit of lime juice.
the backstraps i usually make my own marinate….Dales Seasoning…Red Wine Vinegar…salt,pepper,cilantro,garlic,onion powder…McComicks mesquite,Season salt…and any other spice i feel like putting in…as far as steaks go…just salt pepper season salt flour and grease
Grilled Backstraps- Take your chunked up backstraps, (i usually cut them into around 6" lengths for me and my wife) put it in a bowl or container that you can cover it completely with liquid. Take enough milk to get it half way up the meat. fill the rest to cover it with water. put in around a eighth cup of worchestershire sauce, salt pepper onion and garlic to what you would like for taste, melt a stick of butter and mix it into the liquid. if you have any other seasonings you would like to add, they wont hurt. take a fork and poke the meat many times all throughout the meat to allow the marinate to soak it in. leave it in the marinate for at least four hours. remove and grill to medum rare (right at 140-145 degrees) remove and cut into thin slabs and enjoy! ( I would recomment making two even if its for two people, because you will both want to eat a whole loin yourself!)
Venison Bites
9ut venison into chunks, roughly the size of a chicken mcnugget I use hind quarter meat, but you can use loins too. Put 20 to 30 chunks in a gallon size ziplock, pour in 8 oz of soy sauce, then 1 packet of montreal steak seasoning, (McCormick is the brand I use). Mix well, seal bag and let marinade a couple hours.
Pull out chucks wrap each with half slice of bacon and hold in place with a toothpick. Grill until bacon is crisp.
This recipe works great especially if your out camping or just want some good viddles, easy to make.
Grilled Venison Backstrap
Prep Time:25 min Cook Time:
20 Min Ready In: 5 Hrs 15 Min
4 servings
Ingredients
2 pounds venison backstrap, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 quart apple cider
1 1/2 pounds thick sliced bacon
2 (12 ounce) bottles barbecue sauce, your choice
Directions
1. Place chunks of venison into a shallow baking dish, and pour enough apple cider in to cover them. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours. Remove, and pat dry. Discard apple cider, and return venison to the dish. Pour barbeque sauce over the chunks, cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 more hours.
2. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Charcoal is best, but if you must, use gas. Remove meat from the refrigerator, and let stand for 30 minutes, or until no longer chilled. Wrap each chunk of venison in a slice of bacon, and secure with toothpicks.
3. Brush the grill grate with olive oil when hot, and place venison pieces on the grill so they are not touching. The bacon will kick up some flames, so be ready. Grill, turning occasionally, until the bacon becomes slightly burnt, 15 to 20 minutes. The slower, the better. Dig in, and prepare to want more!
Vension Spedies
3/4 c vinegar
1 Tbsp meat tenderizer
1 Tbsp garlic salt
1 heaping tsp oregano
2 Tbsp parsley
1/2 cup oil
salt and pepper to taste
Mix the above ingredients in a quart container. Fill the rest of the container with water, mix well. Pour over cut and cubed vension. Cover and refridgerate for 3 to 5 days. Skewer up and cook over low heat on the grill. Serve on Italian bread or sub rolls.
Real easy real simple… Take your choice of deer. I use backstraps or chops.
Rub is simple – brown sugar, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, ground thyme, and cayenne powder to taste. Let meat get to room temp and rub in the spices. Let sit for 10-15 minutes. Throw on a hot grill for a couple of minutes each side, until pink inside. Plate with a side of grilled potatoes and onions and a cold beer. I call it " heaven on a plate"
Marinate backstraps in about half a bottle of thousand island dressing, half a bottle of honey teriyaki, and about 5 teaspoons of worchestershire sauce for about 12 hours. Then grill the way you like.
Venison BBQ Quesadillas
1lb Thinly sliced venison
1 Bottle Sweet Baby Rays (Or your preffered BBQ Sauce)
1 Bottle A1 Sauce
8 Flour Tortillas
Grated Cheese of Choice
Veggie Oil
Take your thinly sliced venison put in a frying pan, add a drop of veggie oil, flavor with the bbq sauce and A1 to your likings. Turn stove top on medium (5 or 6) heat, cook thoroughly to your liking slowly. Once cooked reduce heat to keep warm and place aside. Next take another frying pan big enough to hold a flower tortilla and coat the bottom of the pan with veggie oil (lightly). Warm this pan to a medium heat again. Place torilla in pan and let warm till you see it start to bubble. Place your venison on one side of the tortilla, top with your grated cheese and extra BBQ Sauce or A1 if desired. Fold the tortilla in half. Let cook for a approx. 30 more seconds and flip to the other side. Once the torilla is stiffened and slightly browned remove from heat and serve.
Enjoy!

VENISON TENDERLOIN/CHOPS ON CORN BREAD
Cornbread Croutons:
The quick method is to make corn bread muffins using a large muffin pan (2 1/2 to 3 inch diameter muffins). Fill the muffin cups with less dough than for normal muffins so that they are only about 1 inch thick after baking and the crowns are cut off. Cut the crowns off flat. Otherwise, bake cornbread in a flat pan and use a round cookie cutter to cut out the croutons.
Sauce:
> 1 jar of Black Cherry all fruit preserves. Seedless black berry can be substituted
> 3/4 cup water
> 1 teaspoon beef bouillon concentrate or one bouillon cube
> 1 table spoon cornstarch
In small saucepan boil water and bouillon cube, reducing by about 50%. Add 1/2 jar of fruit preserves and bring to boil. Combine cornstarch with enough water to make a paste. Just before serving add to fruit mixture, cook until slightly thickened to sauce-like consistency. Set aside and keep warm.
Sautéed mushrooms and Pecans or Walnuts:
> 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms sliced
>1 cup chopped nuts
>1/3 cup clarified butter
In skillet sauté mushrooms and nuts in clarified butter until mushrooms are tender. Set aside and keep warm.
Grilled or Sautéed medallions of venison
> 1/3 cup clarified butter
> 12 venison tenderloin medallions about 1 inch thick, left to warm almost to room temperature.
> Fresh ground pepper
> Garlic powder
For grilling dip medallions in butter and use medium grilling heat to cook medallions to rare to medium-rare. As alternative, in large sauté pan or skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Sauté medallions to medium rare (or desired doneness), about 3 minutes each side if at room temperature. Season to taste, with pepper and garlic.
When meat is cooked, place 2 venison medallions on warm cornbread croutons. Place some warm mushroom and nut mixture over the medallions. Ladle sauce over the top and serve immediately.
Grilled deer roast; 4 0r 5 lb. venison roast; 1/2 lb. Thick sliced bacon; Couple of cloves fresh garlic. Basting sauce 1/2 c. honey, 1/4 c. soy sauce (go easy here cause the soy has a salty taste), 1 c. orange juice, 2/3 c. Cholula Chili Garlic (original calls for ketchup) but I don’t like catsup 1 c. wine vinegar, 1 tsp. dry mustard, 1 tsp. paprika, Salt and pepper to taste. Score the roast and place in strips of bacon and pieces of garlic. roast on spit. Brush generously with basting sauce. Cook over low to medium flame for 3 to 4 hours. meat is done when thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat is between 145-175 degrees depending on how well you prefer it.
Throw some deer ribs in a electric smoker for a few hours. Take them out put them on the grill and bbq them.
Take a hind quarter and wrap it in bacon. Make a good wrap of aluminum foil (so the marinade will not leak out). Season to taste with seasonall salt, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Soak with a mixture of dales,worcestershire, and beer of your choice, also wouldn’t hurt to inject meat as well. Slow cook over open grill for about 1.5-2 hrs, or until falling off the bone. Make sure to keep adding more soak mixture every 20-30 min. This will keep the meat very moist, and prevent it from drying out. I am no chef by any means, but I love cooking deer this way. Great way to waste away a day with good friends and family though.

In a crockpot put julianed green,red, yellow and red bell peppers. 3 garlic cloths, about a tbl of each parsley, oregano and basil. If you want some heat add tbl of chilli powder and cyanne.

Crockett Outdoor’s BBQ Venison Steak
Makes 1-2 pounds
Prep time: 24 hours
Cook time: appx. 15 Minutes
You will need:
1-2 Lbs venison back straps cut into 3/4 inch chops (let them thaw out if frozen)
MARINADE INGREDIENTS:
1/3 cup soy sauce of your choice
1/2 teaspoon mesquite liquid smoke
1 teaspoon louisiana hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
MIX ALL INGREDIENCE TOGETHER TO CREATE MARINADE
[IF WANTING A QUICKER MARINADE USE 1 package of Mccormick Grill Mates Mesquite Flavored Marinade & 1 cup Honey BBQ sauce]
FOR LATER USE:
1 cup Honey BBQ sauce
Milk (enough to submerge chops for soaking)
Preperation:
Take 1-2 pounds of chops (after being thawed out) rinse them with water and squeeze – repeat until blood is almost completely out of the meat
Next put chops in a container and cover with milk – refridgerate for 4 hours then drain (the milk works as a tenderizer)
Rinse and squeeze chops again to remove any remaining blood (this should remove any game taste)
Place chops back into a clean container and pour marinade over the top (if chops are not fully submerged you may add extra honey BBQ sauce to the mixture)
Let the chops marinade over night. In the morning flip and tenderize (I don’t have a tenderizer so I stabb with a fork).
At noon flip and tenderize again then stir in the 1 cup Honey BBQ Sauce to the marinade
Cooking Instructions:
Pre-heat grill to 300 or 350 (I usually cook at 300 for a nice slow cook)
Place meat on grill and let cook 5-7 minutes on each side
Pour the remaining marinade on the meat and let cook for 1-2 minutes each side – or until chop looks done…
This recipe has been a favorite of ours and have recieved many compliments on how tender the meat is. If you know someone who doesn’t like the gamey taste of meat let them try this recipe because it should have very little game taste (if any). The prep time is a little longer than normal but you won’t be let down.
I have a easy one soak your vension in orange juice overnight, and grill to your desire.
My steaks are very simple to make and surprisingly great… Fire up the grill on high for about 5 minutes, "make sure steaks are thawed first", get out garlic powder, onion powder,(lowerys) season salt, after grill is warm throw on the steaks to and season top side with all of the seasonings, turn heat down to low,let cook for about five minutes, flip them, season the other side cook for five more minute turn them one more time after five minutes and they are ready… Perfectly cooked medium rare which is the best way to cook venison, if over cooked it gets leathery and looses it flavor…

Coffee Rubbed Smoked Venison
What you will need:
+ Venison tenderloin(s), cleaned & trimmed.
+ Mustard, just plain cheap yellow will do.
+ Bacon, I’m talking about the thick cut kind; the fattier the better. (Since venison tends to be rather lean, you don’t want your meat to dry out; it will be cooking for several hours!)
Coffee Spice Rub:
– 2 Tbsp. paprika
– 2 Tbsp. garlic powder
– 2 Tbsp. onion powder
– 2 Tbsp. black pepper
– 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
– 2 Tbsp. ground coffee, or espresso
– 2 Tbsp. kosher salt
– 1 Tbsp. mustard powder
– 1 Tbsp. white pepper
– 1 Tbsp. chili powder
– 1 tsp. cayenne pepper, or more to taste if desired.
This usually makes enough rub for about 5 lbs. of meat. (Great for beef brisket!) So you can adjust the amounts as needed.
Directions:
1. Take cleaned venison tenderloin(s) and cover the entire piece of meat with yellow mustard. You could also try spicy mustard with the seeds. YUM! (Or pat down the loin till its dry with a paper towel before "rubbing" the meat, if you do not like mustard.)
2. Cover surface of meat with the Coffee Spice Rub.
3. With bacon slices make a lattice like pattern and drape over meat. Make sure its seals around the entire loin. This will be a key factor in keeping your deer moist.
Other notes:
– I use Apple Wood chips when smoking most meats. But you could use Mesquite, or whatever you like.
– You want to get your smoker up to at least 220 degrees F before putting in your loin(s).
– I like cooking mine like beef, with an ending internal temperature of at least 140 degrees, but no more than 170 degrees, depending on how you like your meat: medium rare to well done. (More than 170 degrees & it will start drying out.)
– You can also brine your meat beforehand for up to 24 hours.
– You might also want to partially wrap your loins in tin foil, keeps things a little less messy… if your worried about that.

Southern Grilled Loin
1 loin section portioned out
1 bunch of fresh cilantro finely chopped
1 clove fresh garlic finely chopped
Chipotle peppers (to your taste)
Salt to taste
Olive oil
1 lime per lb of loin to be grilled
Generously coat each portion with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, cilantro, garlic and chipotle peppers. Then squeeze the lime over the steak coating both sides evenly. * I prefer to coat them all in a big bowl so that I can cover everything evenly.
Then let them merrinate a min of 4 hours for best results over night. Prepare on a hot grill to sear in flavor, I prefer to cook to rare but cook to whatever you like.
Serve with a fresh salad on the side and its a great summers meal.
This is an easy one to do but really good get some good cuts of back straps soak them in italian dresing for 12 hours after that you wrap beacon around them make sure to use tooth picks to hold the beacon then throw them on the grill and cook to likeing
while cutting the deer up I cut off a steak put it in zesty garlic Italian dressing and cook it on the grill.
Portabella Mushroom and goat cheese venison burger steak
1 lb. of venison burger
4 large portabella mushrooms
1 package of spreadable goat cheese
2-3 crushed cloves of garlic
2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp fresh crushed black pepper
and your favorite steak or hamburger seasoning (I use Mckormicks cowboy rub.)
take 1 lb. of venison burger and place it in a bowl ad 2 tsp of fine sea salt, 1 tsp fresh crushed black pepper and 2-3 cloves of fresh crushed garlic. blend together with hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed through out the burger. form the burger into 4 equal patties.
Take 4 large portabella mushrooms and cut the stem down as far as possible. With a spoon scrape the gills out of each mushroom until all that is left is the cap.( try your best not to ruin the sides of the cap as the burger will hold shape and cook better with the sides still intact.) With the same spoon take the portabella mushroom caps and spread a semi thin layer of goat cheese on the inside of the caps (again be as careful as possible not to ruin the sides)
Take the burger you previously formed into patties and put them in the mushroom caps pressing the two firmly together. tuck the edges of the burger patties into the side of the mushroom cap. (if you did break some of the sides its not a huge deal they will still cook up and taste amazing.)
Now take the mushroom venison burger patties and cook mushroom side down first on a grill that has been preheated to low temperature(low temperature as the mushroom and venison can burn easily on a grill.). while mushroom side is cooking season with your favorite burger/steak seasoning to you liking. when juices from burger began to seep to the top flip and cook the meat side. when the meat side is finished place on plate and spread a little more goat cheese on top of the burger steak and eat with a fork and knife just like you would a steak. hope you enjoy.
One serving venison “back strap/loin”
Coffee Spice Rub recipe: Store unused portion in an airtight container to be used on other steaks
1/4 cup Ancho Chile powder
1/4 cup finely ground espresso-roast coffee beans
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground ginger
Veal Demi-Glace:
You can pick up an already made jar at Williams Sonoma…highly recommended.
½ cup water
1/2 package of sliced mushrooms… I use Portobello Mushrooms
1/2 purple onion
1 stick Butter (unsalted)
Brandy or Grand Marnier for sauce/deglazing … I prefer the Grand Marnier.
Kocher Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper (grinder with course grind set)
Olive Oil to coat meat
Mesquite wood for cooking/smoking
Coat meat with oil. Season one side of meat with Coffee Spice Rub. Coat the other side with the Kocher salt and course ground Pepper.
In a sauté pan, sauté onions and mushrooms in ½ stick butter till caramelized…deglaze pan with liquor…add 2 heaping table spoons Demi-Glace and stir to incorporate….set aside and keep warm
Have HOT coals/wood going reserving 3 -4 pieces of the mesquite wood…dry… for smoking. Add reserved wood right adding meat to grill. Allow wood to smoke generously and let the meat cook, turning only once, to desired temp… I suggest RARE! Set meat aside and let rest for a couple of minutes.
Meanwhile reheat sauté pan of onions and mushrooms till hot. Cut butter into chunks and add to pan. Remove from heat and stir mixture till butter has slowly melted and sauce is smooth and velvety.
Spoon mixture onto plate, slice loin in ½ inch slices, fan out and lay on top of onion and mushrooms. Drizzle the rest of the sauce on top of meat.
I like to serve this with a White Truffle and Parmesan Twice Baked Potato… whole different recipe.

Twice marinated, bacon wrapped grilled tenderloin

Pat dry with a paper towel and cover with BBQ sauce and put back in the fridge for another hour or two (I prefer hickory flavor). When removed from the from the BBQ wrap the tenderloin in bacon (I use thick bacon) and grill on low heat setting for about 15 minutes. (when the bacons done the venisons done).

For my famous roasts, I use onion soup dry mix as a marinade base. I mix 2 packages of the soup mix with 50% of the water on the directions (so its very strong) then I take a tied roast and marinate it over night in the soup mix in a freezer bag, turning the roast to coat frequently. then on the morning of the meal, I brown the roast on a hot skillet with vegetable oil, just browning the outside NOT COOKING the roast. then its into the crockpot half full with beef stock. load in the onions, sweet peppers, carrots, celery & garlic. Add 1 tea spoon salt, 1tea spoon pepper, and 1pad of butter. let it cook on high all day, and you will have an amazing roast ready after you get out of the treestand that night. Slice like roast beef and serve with a nice hoppy beer. Ithaca IPA is the prefered beer pairing.
My husband likes steaks coated in Chicken shake and bake, then fried in Butter in skillet, it’s sort of like Coutry fried steak, I even make white gravy for it. It’s his favorite new way to make it.
Soak in ice water and 1 cup of salt in the sink over night. Drain water and rinse meat. Lightly season salt all cuts. Grill steaks, medallions, whatever cut you prefer on medium heat over charcoal until done how you like it. Remove from heat for 2-5 minutes and enjoy.

I don’t have exact measurements but I like to make a stew. First I pan seer the small cuts of meat in oil after rolling them in seasoned pan seer flour. Then I place the meat and some beef broth in a slow cooker with carrots, onion, and potatoes. You can add celery and or mushrooms too if you wish. I let it cook for several hours or until you cant wait any longer. I usually serve this stew over some rice with freshly sliced Italian bread on the side. Add your drink of choice and enjoy while watching hockey or football. 🙂 Happy hunting!

I then roll the strips up in a pinwheel fashion, then completly surround the wheel with bacon,(everything is better with bacon). hold together with kabob skewers soaked in water and grill. Mmmm Mmm Good.
Simplicity, since I just love the taste of venison
a little salt and pepper on each side of a steak, and grill each side just enough to brown.

Venison Loin ala Mike (my Dad)
Boneless Venison loins (2-4).
2 cloves fresh garlic, sliced.
6-12 sprigs fresh thyme.
2 tablespoons Olive Oil.
Coarse sea salt.
Fresh Gound Pepper.
Sauce
2 shallots, sliced
4 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons dry red wine
The key to this simple yet delicious dish is a hot grill and avoiding overcooking the venison. The venison should be pulled from the grill as soon as an inserted digital thermometer reads 125 degrees.
Place the boneless loins, sliced garlic, thyme, and olive oil in a non-reactive bowl, or in a FoodSaver bag or container. Seal or cover the container and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour, up to 24 hours. Before grilling allow the meat to get to room temperature.
Preheat the grill to high. Salt and pepper the loins. Sear the loins on all sides-about 1 minute each. Reduce heat to medium and finish grilling at indirect heat. Pull the loins when they register 125 degrees internal temperature-about a total of 5-7 minutes of grilling. Allow the loins to rest on a plate. The meat will continue to cook after you pull from the grill. Pour any escaping juices into a very hot saute pan, add 1-2 sliced shallots, 4 tablespoons of butter, and 2 tablespoons dry red wine.
Stir constantly until sauce is thick. Strain. Thinly slice the loins against the grain; the meat should be crusty on the outside and pink in the middle. Serve with the reserved sauce.
Goes great with seasonal squash, rice, or Texas Toast. Serve with a robust local brew, preferably a scotch ale or dopplebock.

Mini-Venison Burgers
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 8 min
Serves: 8 servings of 2 mini-burgers each
Ingredients
1/2 pound ground venison
1/2 pound ground pork
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chopped white mushrooms (about 3 ounces of mushrooms)
1 cup chopped apples (about 2 apples)
2 ounces blue cheese (or your choice of cheese)
16 mini-potato rolls (the dinner-roll size)
Directions
Heat grill. Mix venison, pork, salt, pepper, mushrooms and apples, and form into 16 small patties. Grill to medium doneness and crumble blue cheese on top. Serve on potato rolls.
Simple yet very moist and tasty steak. Marinate (1) 1" thick steak in a mixture of either 1/4 cup teriyaki or worstecier sauce, 3 tbsp dark brown sugar and 1 tsp paprika. Marinate at least an hour, but i like to leave it sit for 4-5 hours. Pan sear the steak first, then grill over indirect heat for about 7-9 minutes, turn and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes. Let rest a few minutes and enjoy….a good side for this is some portabella mushrooms soaked in balsamic vinagrette and grilled for 4 minutes per side.
1 lb of venison, maybe 10 inches long. you want it thick enough that it won’t dry out.
1/2 cup barbecue sauce or cajun marinade – i like a good tangy/spicy sauce. pinch of salt. dash of hickory smoke flavor.
I love cooking Venison on the grill!
Start up your grill (gas or charcoal) and heat it to 180-200 degrees F. Also place some hickory chips in your grill to start the smoke that will add flavor to the loin.
Sometimes simple is better. Take an unfrozen loin (backstrap) and prepare it as you would any fresh cut of meat by clearing any remaining fatty tissue and rinsing it with cool water.
Season to taste with Angelo’s Gourmet Seasoning on all sides of the loin.
Place a pan of water on the middle rack of the grill and then place the prepared loin on the top rack of the grill. The water will keep enough moisture in the grill to help keep the lean venison from drying out.
Cook the loin approximately 15 minutes on one side then turn and cook the other side of the loin for 5 minutes, or cook to the level of doneness you prefer, being careful to not over cook.
If eating right away, slice in 1/4 inch thickness and enjoy. If eating later, wrap tightly in foil, sealing the flavor and juices into the meat.
Enjoy!
Venison Chops with Cranberry Drizzle
I now prefer backstraps with handle! Marinate 6-8 chops in 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup garlic teriaki sauce, 1 small fine chopped red onion, fresh ground peppercorn ( to your liking) 1/4 cup of a dry red wine, I prefer a Malebec blend and 1 tsp of McCormicks Monterey seasoning.
Combine all seasonings and liquids and pour over the chops in a large enough baking dish so they all can be turned over in the marinade.
I refrigerate the chops, however, I do keep turning them over and making sure each time I poke the fork into the meat for better marinating.
Turn your clean grill on high for five minutes to get the grilling surface very hot.
While the cops are marinating, take 1 can of cranberry sauce, place into a medium sauce pan.
Bring the cranberry to a boil simmer and stir.
Place aside.
Place the chops on the grill and sear over high heat, turning
once for 2 minutes per side.
Lower the heat and continue to grill to medium rare.
Remove from heat, place on a large enough plate to arrange the chops.
Serve with drized cranberry sauce over the chops.
The spice and sweetness is amazing! Enjoy.

Its a simple as this – get the coals glowing hot, and put em on the grill.
Toss your steaks on there, and use a TON of Lowry’s seasoned salt (which I use on everything anyway). Feel free to go nuts. It creates a kind of seared surface, like when you grill fish.
When they’re done (don’t cook all the juice out) put a pat of butter on em, and let em set
10 minutes on a side with lots of olive oil and butter 😉

No fuss, no muss. I’m a ‘sauce’ guy, so here’s what I do:
Take a whole backstrap, maybe 10 inches and 1 lb
Coat in Olive oil and Salt. Set that aside for 20 minutes.
Spread a fine BBQ sauce on before grillin.’
Have the grill hot, and leave the cover OPEN. Let it cook 5-8 minutes without moving, depending on how hot the grill is and how thick the loin is. You want a good sear, with good grill marks, on that side of the meat. Flip and repeat on the other side, painting that side with more BBQ sauce.
When its done, pull it off, wrap it tin foil for 15 minutes, and eat it (or share it with your friends)
I douse my steaks/burgers in a basic mixture before grilling, at least a couple hours.
soy sauce
(a little water), lemon juice, olive oil, Tabasco sauce garlic, pepper, etc.
Bam! Instant flavor
Ok, here’s my venison:
I soak it with onions, peppercorns, salt, vinegar, and leave it there for hours. Pull it out, throw it on the grill for 8 or 10 minutes on a side, voila.

can you submit more than one recipe? is there a certain format to submit the recipe in?
One of my recipes I call Venison de Ortega. I am from Arizona and I can eat hot but it is not for everyone. Ortegas fit the bill for everyone. When you are camping or hunting then simple should be the order of the day. Take tin foil or a small skillet and saute the ortegas in butter once they are nice and soft remove from the flame. Prepare the venison by applying some butter to both sides and season with Schilling’s montreal steak seasoning ( I used to do it the long way but montreal has everything you need already in it). Put the steaks on the grill and cook to rare to medium rare (personal taste/ I like my meat medium rare (about 4 min to a side) Place the ortegas on the steak and layer Monterrey and mild cheddar and a ring of raw onion on top of the steak. Cover with the tin foil you used earlier. By the time the cheese has melted to cover your steak, your steak will be done. When you remove the tin foil you will want to take pictures of how pretty it looks! I use this recipe for venison and for elk and I cut my steaks at least 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 thick so I can cook my steaks medium rare. it doesn’t come any more organic than that! This is great tasting very filling and pretty healthy too, I enjoy it with a large very cold glass of milk, then I refer to the Jack Daniels recipe submitted earlier because of what a good job I did as a cook.

1/2 cup of 7up, sprite or beer (optional)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons of brown sugar
1/2 cup catsup
Barbeque Cooking Instructions:
Cut deer meat into thin and long slices – 1/4 inches thick and less than 2 inches wide.
In a mixing bowl, marinate the venison with the soy sauce, minced garlic, chopped onions, lemon juice, ground pepper, sugar, catsup and the soda or beer (this tenderizes and adds flavour to the meat)
Mix well and keep in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (turning occasionally).
Prepare the bamboo skewers by removing splinters and soaking in water to reduce burning during barbeque.
String the venison on the skewers.
Barbeque the skewers until each is fully cooked – turning every few minutes on each side and basting the leftover marinate on the barbeque.
Take back strap of deer & seam out as if a jelly roll (remove the
silver skin as you go).
Dice a green pepper,a red pepper, & 3-4 japlenpo peppers or use Mt. Olive Diced Japleno peppers. Dice an onion of your own
choice; now fill the rolled out backstrap with all above,& then
wrap with slab bacon slices.
BBQ until bacon is done & the venison is medium.
Jackpine Jack’s Secret Venison Steak Recipe
Here’s the secret: Venison is naturally tender and delicious. That’s why deer have naturally learned to hide well and run fast. If you’ve taken good care of your venison at every step of the way, you won’t need rubs, seasonings, or marinades designed to tenderize it and enhance or disguise its flavor.
Purists agree, the best recipe for grilling venison is no recipe at all. But that’s no way for me to win a recipe contest, now, is it? So here, revealed at last, is Jackpine Jack’s Secret Venison Steak Recipe.
Ingredients:
– Two large venison steaks
– One cup Jack Daniels
– Salt and pepper
– One large armful dry jackpine branches
Feel free to adjust quantities as circumstances dictate. If no jackpine is available, you may substitute birch, oak, apple, hickory, mesquite, etc. (But nothing captures the taste of the north woods quite like venison grilled over jackpine coals.) And in place of Jack Daniels, you may substitute bourbon, scotch, wine, beer, or even root beer. It’s your call. But if no venison steaks are available, there’s just no substitute. This recipe is not the same with plain old cow meat. Go back out and hunt more.
Directions:
Place jackpine branches in grill. Start fire, adding more branches as needed. While waiting for fire to burn down to coals, pour one-half cup Jack (or suitable substitute) into each of two cups—one for you and one for your grilling assistant. Sip patiently. Refill and repeat as needed.
Once fire has burned down to coals, place steaks on grill. Do not overcook. Just before steaks appear done on one side, turn them over. Just before they appear done completely, remove them from grill. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy.
While watching the coals burn down the rest of the way, refill cups again as needed.
–Submitted by Al Cambronne, co-author of Gut It. Cut It. Cook It.: The Deer Hunter’s Guide to Processing and Preparing Venison
Start with a good bed of Hickory coals and good friends. Butterfly the tenderloin at least 1/2 " thick – thicker is better. Sprinkle with a good Cajun seasoning – like Tony Chachere’s on both sides. Grill just a few minutes on each side – medium rare to rare is done. Thank the Lord for the bounty and good friends. Enjoy – it is as simple as that.
When does this contest end? "If God didn’t want us to eat animals, He wouldn’t have made them out of meat!" "I love all of God’s creatures. Some just need more seasoning than others"
BBQ Venison Quesadillas;
Grilled Venision Steak (Extra Virgin Olive Oil + dash of garlic salt) hot off the grill.
Caramelized Onions hot out of the frying pan.
BBQ sauce (your fav!)
Shredded Cheese (sharp cheddar or your fav!)
Place ingredients between two flour tortillas and bake under broiler or on high for 3-5 minutes each side until crispy and brown. Enjoy!
When preparing tenderloin steaks, I make a mixture of flour, garlic salt, celery salt, lemon pepper, pepper, bbq seasoning and a little tenderizer seasoned salt. Put these ingredients together in a shaker and when ready to grill the meat, sprinkle generously on both sides; replenishing each time they are turned over. Delicious eating!
Bite Back-Back Straps..
Cut your back straps is one inch thick. Marinate them in Franks Red Hot Sauce for 24 hours. Remove from marinate. Melt one whole stick of real butter and and coat both sides completely. Cook on grill, heat on high for 1 minute per side. Then reduce heat to low. flip often and baste with butter as needed.
Marinated chops (or steaks):
put 4 in a plastic bag with marinade.
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tbsp Worcestershire
1 garlic clove, diced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard
dash of pepper
Cool in the bag for 6 hours, flip once or twice.
Drain, save the marinade.
Grill the meats 6-7 minutes on a side, while brushing with marinade.
If you’re like me, you like a lot of sauce, so you add more marinade before you eat em
This recipe works with any game meat. For venison back straps or tenderloins cut into 3 or 4 ounce pieces, marinate in Itailan dressing overnight or at lest 3-4 hours in refrigerator. Then drain marinate and prep with the following ingrediants. Take a large yellow or red onion and quarter it. then peel the layers apart to wrap meat with. have a jar of jalopena slices handy to use during wraping procedure. next have a pound of bacon, I use cheap bacon, but any brand will work. Depending on the amount of meat you are preparing you may need additional onion quarters. next I take a onion slice and put a couple jalopena slices inside of onion and layer it around cut venison or other game meat. Do this on top and bottom of meat. next take a half slice or whole slice of bacon, depending on size of meat and wrap tightly around all of the above, sequring with a tooth pick. after you have your meat pieces all wraped you can season to your own taste. I like fresh cracked pepper, sea salt, garlic powder, and cajun seasoning on mine. You are now ready for the grill. Grill on medium to low heat away from flames turning several times with tongs. I also use hickory chips soaked in water for about an hour to put on top of charcoal during grilling process. Can also be cooked with gas grill, but charcoal is better.
I love making some venison w/ zuchinni!
I dont have measurements, i just wing it!
I cut the med size pieces of venison, cook slowly over a med heat w/ some seasoning ( garlic, onion, fajita seasoning ) once cooked to your liking, i add chucks off zuchinni and tomato..let it cook and brown a little, few minutes not much, and then i add some water ( a cup and half) and tomato sauce to color the broth and more seasonings to your liking, little salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder and let it simmer so the zuchinni can finish cooking…its a nice warm soup after a early morning or late night of hunting,…it taste better if you make some yellow spanish rice on the side to add to the soup to add bulk and flavor… the rice is easy to make as well ,real mexican style, add some white long grain rice to a pan, add some oil and let it brown a little but continue to move the rice around so it doesnt burn, once u get the rice to a nice gold color add water, half way up the pan, salt, garlic and onion power, and some more tomato sauce or paste to add color and cook at a low heat for about 30 min til the water dries up and the rice is nice and soft, if its still hard add alittle more water and seasonings….enjoy!

1 tsp. cumin

Sprinkle a hind quarter with garlic salt and black pepper and cook overnight (6-7 hours) at 350 deg. in a turkey bag. Allow the meat to cool somewhat and remove the meat from the bone. Put the meat in a crock pot and cover with two bottles of Wicker’s Meat Marinade. Simmer all day.
I start with by browning my deer steaks in extra virgin olive oil
I then layer a baking dish with cream of mushroom soup add first layer of steaks and repeat until all steaks are in the dish and covered with mushroom soup. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour.. Ready to serve either over egg noodles, rice or with a baked potato.

It’s called "Venison FunGuy" (fungi)
1 gallon Ziploc Freezer bag
1 cup water
1 cup peanut oil
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup of Montreal Steak Seasoning.
4 venison tenderloins (or 2 lbs of backstraps)
3/4 lb wild mushrooms. I prefer Chicken mushrooms, or Chantrelles. Boletes are good. your taste.
6tbls Butter
2tbls Worcestershire Sauce
2 cloves of garlic (not bulbs!) CLOVES
First add water, peanut oil, vinegar, 1sliced clove of garlic & Steak seasonings into freezer bag then mix well. (delicately) Place tenderloins into bag, and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes. 15 minutes before tenderloins are ready for removal, start your fire with well aged hickory. ( I use 8"-10" logs split to about 1 &1/2" width.)
once the flames have died down some, place the tenderloins on the grill. Add the rottenest cherry wood that you can find to the fire. I have a pile partially buried to induce rot (the flavor is much sweeter). Now, in a saucepan, melt the butter over a med low heat, add the mushrooms & 1 sliced clove of garlic. The mushrooms & garlic will absorb the butter. Then add Worcestershire sauce & more butter. Go flip the tenderloins (DELICATELY)!!!!! pour a cup of the mixture from the bag over tenderloins. Then stir the mushrooms till dark brown. cook tenderloins to desired temperature. ( I like med. well slightly pink in the middle) Serve and enjoy. a good side veggie is wild asparagus drowning in butter with salt and pepper.
Backstraps marinated overnight in the following:
Spicy Italian dressing, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 teaspoon black pepper
Grill to medium rare!
Blue Cheese stuffed Tender Loin:
Step one: Take a 6" chunk of tender loin and fillet it out in a spiral manner so that you’ll have roughly a 7" to 10" long piece of meat that is maybe a 1/8" thick. Score the meat in a diagonal manner to create pockets that will hold the cheese and other seasoning.
Step two: Rub meat with olive oil. Lightly season with salt, pepper, and onion salt.
Step three: Crush 3 to 4 cloves of garlic onto the meat and spread around working into pockets.
Step four: Dice up some fresh parsley and spread liberally on the meat working it into the pockets.
Step five: Spread crumbly blue cheese on to meat.
Step six: Roll meat back up and secure with tooth picks.
Step seven: Cut your roll into 3" chunks (usually split the distance between tooth picks)
Lastly grill these delicious chucks of stuffed tender loin. I usually grill for close to 15 to 20 minutes on low heat. I like my venison a little rare in the middle so grilling time will depend on grill and personal preference.
My family and I usually enjoy this with a fresh vegetable and roasted rosemary red skin potatoes.
Take a backstrap, cut it into 2 pieces make 3 to 4 slices halfway through, put them into a cake pan or baking dish pour on some italian salad dressing put in the fridge for a couplt hours. Put them on a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil sprayed lightly with a nonstick spray sprinkle on a little seasoning salt, garlic salt, cajun seasoning, liquid smoke, a couple dashes of A1 sauce in the slits. Slice up half an onion throw on top with a coupe tablespoons of butter. Put in 3-4 fresh banana or hot banana peppers then fold the up and leave a small opening in the top to let the smoke in. If you want a grilled side dish slice up some potatoes and the other half of onion put them in a metal cake pan lined with foil add roughly a cup of butter (more or less depending on your tastes) , and some salt and pepper, stir it up cover with foil, I usually uncover it when it is about half done so it gets a little extra smoke flavor, just cook until the potatoes are soft.
2 tsp garic powder
2 tsp pepper
2 tsp celery salt
2 tsp cajun seasoning
4 tsp chopped onions
3 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Mix all ingrediants into a pan. Pour over 3 ibls worth of steaks. Cover and refridgerate turning steaks every few hours. Marinate 6-8 hours or overnight.
Grill on low heat 250-300 15 minutes on each side.
I cut the steaks and hammer them with a meat tenderizing hammer , them dip them in melted butter , salt and pepper then grill on low heat to your taste , why ruin the taste of good venison with all kinds of herbs and spices??
Marinate steaks in italian dressing, at least a few hours, rinse, rub with your favorite dry rub, grill to your liking. Enjoy!
KISSed (Keep It Simple, Sir) Venison Kebabs
(This recipe serves a family of 5 venison lovers)
For the skewers
1 doz. large mushrooms
2 lbs. boneless venison loin
3 bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow, 1 orange)
4 small, sweet onions
Marinade
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup red wine
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tbs. honey
Preparation:
Combine all the marinade ingredients (or your favorite variation) in a zip-lock food storage bag.
Cut the loin into 1- to 1-1/2-inch cubes and refrigerate in marinade for a minimum of two hours to a maximum of one day; take out of the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature (about 30-60 min.) before draining. Save extra marinade for the grilling process.
Cut the bell peppers into inch-size chunks, large mushrooms in half and onions in quarters.
If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes prior (use a dish or something else to hold them under), then skewer the venison, onions, mushrooms and peppers in alternating fashion.
Scrape the hot grates a final time before spraying or brushing with oil. Grill over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, rotating 90 degrees every 2-1/2 to 3 minutes (baste with extra marinade before each turn).
When done, baste a final time, flip and wait 10 seconds before removing from grill. Let ‘em rest a minute, then serve hot with your favorite age-appropriate cold beverage!
2 deer or elk steaks
2-4 cups of balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup of olive oil
1 TSB of seasonings (thyme, ground pepper, etc.)
Marinade the steaks in the combined olive oil, vinegar and herbs for one hour, turning the steaks to cover each side.
Start up the grill, once it has reached a low heat, place the steaks on the rack. Watch them carefully, overcooking the steaks will ruin the flavor. Cook each side for 2-2.5 minutes each. You will want to pour the yummy marinade on the steaks as they cook. Enjoy.
2 pounds venison backstrap, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 qt apple cider
1.5 pounds thick sliced bacon
2 (12 ounce) bottles barbecue sauce, your choice
Place chunks of venison into a shallow baking dish, and pour enough apple cider in to cover them. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours. Remove, and pat dry. Discard apple cider, and return venison to the dish. Pour barbeque sauce over the chunks, cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 more hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Charcoal is best, but if you must, use gas. Remove meat from the refrigerator, and let stand for 30 minutes, or until no longer chilled. Wrap each chunk of venison in a slice of bacon, and secure with toothpicks.
Brush the grill grate with olive oil when hot, and place venison pieces on the grill so they are not touching. The bacon will kick up some flames, so be ready. Grill, turning occasionally, until the bacon becomes slightly burnt, 15 to 20 minutes. The slower, the better. Dig in, and prepare to want more!
Bacon and Jalapeno Venison Bites
Cut backstraps into bite size pieces. Marinade over night in ingredients below. Put a jalapeno on each piece of venison and then wrap it in a piece of bacon cut in have and put a toothpick through it. Grill until medium rare and bacon cooks.
2/3 cup soy
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 T sugar
1 T garlic powder
Venison and Red Beans
2 Lbs. Diced Venison (or any Game)
1/2 lb. Hickory Smoked Bacon, chopped and fried
2 cn. Dark Red Kidney Beans (undrained)
1 cn. Pinto Beans (undrained)
2 cn. Diced Italian Style Tomatoes
1/2 cup diced Onions
1/2 cup sliced Jalapeno Peppers
1/4 cup diced Sweet Bell Peppers

Fry bacon and set aside for use later. On grill top, side burner or fire pit, sauté venison using olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over low to medium heat until done. Add bacon, onions, jalapenos and sweet peppers, cook until onions are translucent. Add tomatoes, kidney beans, pinto beans and liquid smoke (to taste, about a teaspoon). Simmer, covered, over very low flames for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Goes great with cornbread if you have it.

Deep Fried Venison
You can use whatever cut of the deer you want because deep frying it will make it tender.
*Cut the meat into bite size chunks
*Mix flour and your choice of seasoning (i prefer cracker boy) in a gallon size zip lock bag
*Soak meat in milk for 10 to 15 minutes to remove all blood from meat. (this will make it taste less gamey for your friends that are picky and don’t like the gamey taste)
*Remove from milk and put a few pieces at a time in the flour mixture.
*Remove from flour and put in oil ( i prefer peanut) preheated to 350 degrees cook for 2 to 4 minutes depending on how well done you like you meat.
*Place on paper towel to remove some of the oil and to let cool enough to eat.
*Serve with some homemade french fries and you will be the new cook at deer camp.
Venison backstraps marinated overnight in the following:
1 cup soy sauce, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 teaspoon black pepper (the measurements are for you, I wing it)
Grill and eat.
I make a venison cheese steak on the griddle at deer camp.
Use 1 pound of venison sliced thin and marinate it in 3 tablespoons of steak sauce (A1 is good). slice up 1 green pepper, 1 red pepper and 1 onion. Throw the griddle over direct flame until it’s smoking hot. sprtritz on some oil and quickly brown the venison. Then throw on the peppers and onions till soft. I also toast some buns on the grill with garlic butter. Then top it all off with pepperjack cheese.
