Venison Galore
I had a lot of fun, this year, harvesting some venison at Cedarmore. My daughters have even helped out a bit. So far, we have processed 4 does for the season. This will probably be it for me--unless I happen to take one bow hunting later on.If you process venison correctly and use good recipes, then it can be a wonderful treat. Many people have had bad experiences with venison because of it's "gaminess". This could be for many reasons, but probably because the right recipe wasn't used.
I have a few interesting stories to tell this hunting season. One involves an angry momma doe and the other involves a very tired momma doe. More on that later.

I didn't fire the first round this year. I'm such a slacker! But I had a friend give me a deer that he shot so I cut out the loins and ground most of it up. Do you have a recommendation for cooking the tenderloins?
I like to cut mine into 2 inch sections and then butter-fly them out into 1 inch steaks. I then marinade them in Italian Dressing for 3 days (you can also use beer or whiskey to marinade). That both flavors them and breaks down the meat and tenderizes them a bit. I also put in fresh garlic. I actually make slits in the meat and insert pieces of fresh garlic. You can never have too much garlic!
I then bacon wrap them (use toothpicks) and grill them to medium.
I like to then sprinkle blue cheese on top--you can also put on some mushrooms and onions if you like. Sometimes, I'll make up some garlic butter to dip them in while I am eating.
Serve and eat while it is still hot--yummy, yummy, yummy!
I'd like to know when either of you are fixing this recipe so I can invite myself over! My only experience with deer was that it tasted gamey. This sounds great!
Shane, the last comment was from Dwayne Cook. It may have shown up as Marsha. I couldn't find your email address, so thought I'd send this this way. Dwayne - dcook@clssp.com
Marsha, give Kari a call and set up a date and time. We would love to treat you guys to a steak dinner.
