For all you hunters out there can you give me any really good venison steaks recipes. really tired of making teriyakki venison. thanks to all that post
 
If you say sorry one more time I'm gonna move it to different forums for every time you do :mrgreen: that almost sounds like fun!!!
 
well all i know is that my hubby brings it home and i just cook it. we get steaks, chops, ground meat
 
Try this with the steaks or chops. What doneness do you make it? Venison is usually best when it's done rare to medium rare, so I hope that's how you serve it.

Rosemary and Port Wine Demi-Glace

Ingredients:

2 Cups Veal or Beef Stock
1 Cup Port Wine (Ruby, not Tawny Port)
2 Sprigs (about 5"-6" ea.) of Fresh Rosemary
3 Shallots, finely minced
2 tsp. Canola Oil
2 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
Kosher salt to taste

Method:

Sauté shallots in oil until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add stock, bring to a boil, and then simmer until reduced by half. Meanwhile, reduce port wine in a separate saucepan until thickened—approx ¼ cup. Keep Warm. When the stock is reduced, whisk in the port. Add the rosemary, and reduce liquid by 1/3. Remove rosemary and off the heat, add the butter and whisk in until incorporated and smooth. Season to taste with kosher salt, strain with a fine sieve or cheesecloth, and serve.

Just use the sauce portion of this recipe:

Pan Roasted Double Cut Veal Chop with Chantrelle Jus and Caper Vinaigrette

Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients:

4 each, Double cut bone-in Veal or Pork Chops
4 Slices Montasio, Fontina, or similar semi-soft cheese
8 Slices Prociutto, Serrano, or similar thinly sliced ham
8 Fresh Sage Leaves
1/4 c. All-Purpose Flour
4 Medium Shallots; two finely chopped, two rough chopped
1/4 c. dry white wine
1/4 c. chicken stock
1/2 c. unsalted butter, cut into 1" cubes and kept cold
1/2 oz. Dried Chantrelle musrooms (you can substitute Morrell or Porcini)
1/2 c. hot water
1/4 c. Cognac
3 Tbsp. Frying Oil
3/4 c. Corn or Sunflower Oil
1/4 c. Sherry Vinegar
3 Tbsp. Capers, rinsed and patted dry
1 Tbsp. Italian Parsley, chopped
2 tsp. Fresh Thyme
1/2 tsp. Anchovy Paste
Kosher Salt and Pepper to taste

Method:

For the Veal:

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F. On the side of the chop opposite the bone, cut a pocket into the chop, but be sure not to pierce any othe side of the meat. In the cavity, stuff two slices of ham, one slice of cheese, and two sage leaves. Season the both sides of the chops with kosher salt and pepper, and lightly dust with flour. In a heavy saucepan, heat the 3 Tbsp. of oil on high until lightly smoking. Add the chops and sear until golden brown on the two sides, approximately 1 minutes for each side. Transfer to the oven, and cook until the internal temp. reaches about 140 F for Veal, and 155 F degrees for Pork, about 20-30 minutes. Rehydrate the chantrelle mushrooms in the hot water for approx. 15 minutes. Drain the mushooms, but save the liquid! Slice the mushrooms into a thin julienne.

For the Caper Vinaigrette:

In a food processor or blender, combine the vinegar, capers, rough chopped shallots, parsley, thyme, and anchovy paste. Blend together while slowly adding in the Corn or Sunflower oil until the dressing is emulsified. Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper and reserve.

For the Chantrelle Jus:

When the chops are done, remove them from the pan, and place the pan back on the stove on medium-high. Add the finely chopped shallots, and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock, white wine, cognac, and the liquid reserved from the mushrooms, and deglaze the bottom of the pan. Reduce the liquid until approx. 1/4 cup remains. Off the heat, stir in the butter until it is emulsfied together with the liquid.
 
Cranberry Balsamic Demi-Glace

Ingredients:

4 c. Veal or Beef Stock
1 c. Balsamic Vinegar
2/3 c. Dried Cranberries
2 Shallots, finely minced
2 tsp. Canola Oil
Kosher Salt to taste
2 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
2-3 Fresh or Dried Bay Leaves

Method:

Sauté shallots in oil until they are translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the stock and the bay leaves. Bring stock to boil, and then simmer until reduced by approx. ½. Meanwhile, soak cranberries in the balsamic vinegar for 15 minutes. Strain vinegar into a saucepan and reduce vinegar until syrupy—keep warm. When the stock is reduced, whisk in the balsamic syrup. Reduce remaining liquid by about 1/3. Add cranberries and warm through, about 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with kosher salt.
 
Ok, here's the ones I have on file on my HDD. I don't usually get much venison other than ground. Ironchef is right, though, steaks/roasts need to be cooked on the rare side, otherwise they get tough. Braising, or some other moist-heat, long-term cooking method, is your only other option.

Braised Venison

Venison steaks
Flour
2 T shortening
1 T vinegar
½ c chopped celery
½ c chopped apple
½ c chopped carrot
¼ c chopped onion

Dredge steaks in flour and sear on all sides in shortening preheated in a heavy cast iron skillet. Once browned, remove and place steaks in ovenproof dish. Add enough water to cover the bottom of dish; add vinegar and stir gently into the water. Cover tightly with heavy-duty foil and bake in 300°F oven for about 2 hours, adding a little more liquid as necessary.
When the meat is becoming tender (usually after about an hour and a half in the oven), add celery, apple, carrot and onion. Recover with foil and cook another 30 minutes. This mixture will flavor the gravy and add flavor to the meat.

Glazed Saddle of Venison

One 12 - 15# venison saddle
Dry Rub for Game
2 c unsalted game or beef stock
¼ c vegetable oil
¼ c brandy
Juice of 1 orange
1 c ginger preserves
1 c jalapeño jelly

The night before you plan to serve the venison, massage it well with Dry Rub for Game. Save a tablespoon or two of the rub for mopping the meat the next day. Transfer the meat to a large plastic bag, and refrigerate it.
Take the venison from the refrigerator about 1 hour before you plan to begin cooking it. Preheat oven to 450°F.
Combine stock, oil, brandy and reserved Dry Rub for Game in a small bowl. This mixture is for mopping the meat. In another bowl, mix the orange juice, preserves and jelly for the glaze.
Transfer the venison to a large roasting pan. Bake for 20 minutes, mopping once.
Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking, mopping frequently, until an instant-read thermometer measures about 125°F (plan on a total baking time of 15 - 17 minutes per pound). The meat should be rare to medium rare; be sure not to overcook. Brush on the glaze twice during the last 10 minutes of baking. Remove the roasting pan from the oven, and transfer the venison to a platter. Tent the saddle with foil, and let the meat sit for 15 minutes before carving it. Spoon some of the pan drippings over the meat before serving.
