    It's nice to see someone stressing the importance of removing ALL the silver skin from venison before cooking! I always say that people who think deer meat tastes gamey just haven't had it processed properly. I'm thankful hubby (and now our oldest son) know how to properly process the deer they harvest so it always tastes great without me having to go through a million extra steps when I'm cooking it trying to get the gamey taste out.

I'll be doing the methods here to get the venison tender, moist and less gamey. Also, THANKS TO THOSE GONE FROM US for passing down and paying forward the many HOW-TO'S our families still enjoy.

    Matt makes that look so easy and the cooking is the easiest part, but you should see him when he's cleaning the deer meat. When I say cleaning, I mean when he is preparing the meat for the freezer. He is miraculous in cleaning the meat and removing all connective tissue and the film that covers the muscles and that is why his end product is so good!

    Hi, this year I finally learned to love deer meat by trying new recipes from the deer my husband harvested and I butchered. I also learned silver skin can break down through long braising and makes the meat feel less lean. I've slow braised stew cuts and shanks by making venison bourguignon in the dutch oven with beef broth and merlot wine. Braising is a wonderful method and made the meat taste like beef.

    Last week a friend gifted us a huge portion of venison. It's been 50 years since I cooked any and then I just floured and fried it. It was stored over ice in an ice chest for a week to tenderize and remove gaminess. I stuck large 3-4 pound chunks of meat into gallon freezer bags to store until I had time to cook them. I opened my laptop to search out some recipes just now and at the top of the YT videos was this one. Talk about great timing. Your recipe looks wonderful, the resulting meat looked delicious, and it will be the first recipe I try. Thanks so much!

    I do something very similar, including the Old Bay. Suggestion: try adding some apricot preserves on top in place of the honey (or whatever tart fruit you have...I know you all grow and can a lot of your own stuff). I'd love to see more wild game recipes of yours. I've been looking for more and more old world/old American game recipes and have started exploring some of the recipes from Germany, Austria, Hungary etc. Any of the mountainous countries with hunting traditions have similar deer recipes. I probably turn half of my deer into goulasch. So good. Just add onions and paprika to what you did here, then remove the meat and reduce the liquid, and you've pretty much got yourself some goulasch. You might also enjoy watching Scott Rea on youtube. He's a traditional style butcher in northern England -- much of the same cuisine as Appalachian cooking. He has a few cookbooks out now. He's all about eating and enjoying the whole game animal -- everything from deer to opossoms to crows to pheasants and rabbits.
