Our good friends and kitchen wizards over at Food for Hunters typically have a mouth-watering venison dish with some flair and this week’s offering is no exception!
They whipped up a little Venison in Chimichurri Sauce with a few simple ingredients and some “non-choice” cuts. As they explain on the site (which is loaded with recipes), a lot of hunters ignore or don’t take the time to cut up meat from the leg or other areas, or toss it into the jerky pile.
“Countries like Uruguay, Southern Brazil, Bolivia, Ecaudor and Mexico all have their own versions of chimichurri,” they write. “The sauce is simply made with oil, vinegar and a combination of common herbs and spices like cilantro, garlic, jalapeno and parsley. Because of its acidic element, it makes the ideal marinade for tenderizing tougher cuts of meat”
With a little effort, and a super marinade or sauce, these cuts are delicious. Try this with your venison and enjoy.
