Ok, I need some help with recipes specific to cooking venison and elk meat.

My husband got his buck over the weekend and is on his elk hunting this week.

We have 200 pounds of venison.....sigh

I am not a fan of venison! (never have been) Do not like the gamey taste AT ALL.

Elk however I do really like. So I have never cooked either. My husband fries them in butter and season.

"YIKES"

So my question is there anyone who can help me out by sharing recipe's that are sleeve friendly

Any replies are a huge help!!!

marianade portions cubed in an acid marianade (lemon juice or orange juice (cut with H2O and spices) for 25 or 48 hours and make a slow cooker stew. The marianage will cut the gaminess. These meats are very lean, so you CAN add some good fat.

Oh thank you!!! I'll be trying that soon!!! I have a freezer full of 5 point Buck

My mom does elk in the crock pot with red wine and beef bouillon, I think pretty similar to this recipe. It is so good!

I just checked it out and.....yum!! This looks so doable and freaking just down right good! On my list for sure!! Added the site to my favorites Thank you

I'm jealous. I looovvveeee venison and elk.

If you grill it, be sure to not overcook it. It makes a huge difference in the taste and texture.

marinading these meats are important....They are very lean and dry out fast...Cook as you would a roast but not as long....there are many marinades out there for beef...You can use onion Soup mix, yogurt garlic and thyme....The sauce makes a great gravy!

My son bagged a moose 2 years ago and we ate a lot of moose meat.....using the slow cooker was a life saver....

Thank you all. I now have somewhere to start! I know next to nothing about cooking either but I'm willing to learn and try.

Miss Lady you can gladly have my portion but I reserve the right to change my mind if I like anything I cook!! HA HA HA

Elk at the butcher now!!

More ideas please.....

Have your butcher mix in some ground pork sausage and make you a ground meat. You can use this for tacos (wonderful) and meat loaf (also wonderful). No gaminess!

I use tomato, garlic and onion to flavor venison. Also, steak seasoning is great on hamburgers. Next time, tell him to go for a nice, plump doe. The meat always tastes better!

K so I tryd this tonight for dinner. Got the main recipe somewhere. I think on here but not positive.

I'm saying 2 mini muffins is one serving.

Recipe made 30 mini muffins

15 serving per patch

Venison Mini Meatloaf Muffins

1 Pound Deer hamburger

1 C Parmesan cheese (grated)

1 C Tomato Sauce (low sodium) Save half (4 oz) for topping

1/2 tsp Garlic powder

1/2 tsp Onion Powder

1/4 Diced Onion (optional)

1 Package Instant mash Potatoes (I tbsp per muffin)

Mix first 6 items together well. Fill mini muffin pan with meat mix.

Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes

About 10 minutes in I added the potatoes on top. Finished cooking then drizzle remaining tomato sauce over each mini meatloaf. and EAT.

I'm pleased to say it was Devine. Which is saying something because I used to puke each time I tried venison.

Let me know if anyone trys it.

We lived in Wyoming for 7 years and ate Elk, and antelope. Loved the crockpot. Now we eat venison if my husband hunts and gets one. We have it ground and add ground beef to it. I use it just like ground sirloin. Used some canned venison in a stuffed pepper Soup instead of ground sirloin and loved it.
