who eats deer meat??????????

[wabi]

I usually kill a couple every year, but then there's always the problem of what to do with all that meat. Especially the cuts like those tough old backstraps. Well, this evening I was having a difficult time deciding on what to cook, so I thought why not have a skillet full of backstraps?
I have them sliced across the grain & cut thin so they are tender. I browned up a package, added some cream of mushroom soup, and let it simmer.........


.........while I cooked some biscuits in the convection toaster/oven.


Michael had a hunting video on the TV as we ate, and he kept taking a break to shoot more deer! (notice the jaws bulging with food as he hunts)

yep, that's Zeke, the always hungry kitty on the back of the seat eying Michael's food.
No such thing as leftovers in this house!

Around this part of the country, A fresh road kill deer is often a strange breed. By the time you get to retrieve it, it is the kind that does not have backstraps.
However those backstraps are delicious on the barbeque.
Your dish makes the mouth water as well.

hey wabi those tough old "other" parts of a deer can be separated out by section to get just the meat, then 20 min. in a pressure cooker and then cooked just like in your picture and is somekinda good with either cornbread or those biscuits. throw in a pot of pinto beans, and/or collard greens . but be sure to have enough time to "sleep it off" you are making me hungry

Great minds think alike, Wabi!

Here's a guaranteed winner! Take hog or deer tenderloins and whack them into 1-1.5" chunks across the grain. Beat them into a shape about like a saucer, or a little larger.

Dip in egg batter [3 eggs, 1.5 cups milk] roll them in Fish Fry, re dip in egg/milk thingy, then dip/roll them in bread crumbs.

Next, separate w/ wax paper and freeze. They need to hit the hot oil frozen, which keeps the batter on and makes it Goooood!!!

This is an Illinois pork tenderloin sandwich.

Acceptable variations: A little 'Worst Chester' sauce in milk/egg bath and a little garlic salt/onion powder in Fish Fry.

Canuck version: Add any damn thing you want.......

when i was 17 my friends mother,(who was born ,raised in canada,cooked up a batch of deer like you made.was the best deer i ever ate,she also taught me let no meat man do my deer,so she taught us boys to cut up and debone all meat.

i brown it just like you do,a cast iron skillet is a must,three onions cut up,a can of mushrooms,and a can of cream mushroom soup.three hours at 300 and if you want it stew style just add potatoes,and some cut up carrots.this is both my daughters favorite dish.

for the turkey breast,cubed and throw on some ranch dressing for a hour.batter as you want,and deep fry,oh so good.we cook this at the wild game dinners,and you can do goose,duck pheasant this way too.

MMMMM Wabi, that looks goooood.

I love deer meat - anyway you slice it.

I told my kids if they made a cereal out of venison, I would eat it for breakfast....

DEER-I-O's anyone???

Cheers,
