The best venison marinade : I grew up in a family where venison(deer meat) was a regular staple. My father was a amazing hunter and cook. So venison in all forms had a regular place a our table. From Roast to chilli to steaks. In college my roommates and I lived on a steady stream of deer meat that my father would provide us, it was meat we could always afford because it was well free. My son actually gets excited when Pa provides Venison
For my entire life I never understood why people tell me they don’t like the taste of deer meat. It is a lean cut of meat deer do not have the fat of a cow. From what I have been told that deer can be tough if not cooks properly. After watching my father for years I have learned his trick for making the best venison marinade you will ever make and eat. This simple venison steak recipes and time will make the most tender venison steaks you will every bite amazing.

You got it – I never liked it as a kid because it was tough, but it likely was not prepared in the best way.
You would like it if you tried mine..
Sounds and looks delicious! I could never make myself eat “Bambi” growing up (my parents BFF’s lived in CT and were avid hunters). 5 years ago i finally tried a Venison Burger and it seriously was crazy good! Just about the best burger of my life…I am a convert!
That surprise me you have not tried it. You should try it!
Oh I pinned this for when we have venison again in the fall. My husband harvested a pretty small buck this year and we have been out of meat for awhile now. After 5 yrs of eating venison, eating beef is so nasty to us!
