Do you cook venison?

Well here in cajun country they boil it in vingar to make it tender they thay cutit into strips and smother it ya smother it by browing the meat first and then ya add onions garlic and seasoning and cook tha down then ya add the meat back in the pot and add just enough water to cover it and let it cook down it will make it's own gravy that way

When I have cooked them before it was in the crockpot and I used barbecue sauce, simmered all day, and it was tender from the slow cooking and the sauce.

Karen I have tried a couple of times to cook a venison roast, they always come out so stringy and tough for me. I do like ground venison, I mix in a pound of breakfast sausage to 2 pounds of ground venison and the burgers come out wonderful. Venison has very little fat, and is very very lean meat so you have to add a bit of fat to tenderize it. I just have had no luck with roasts.

I have never tried venison, or any out-of-the-norm meats [I'm not very fond of red meat in general], but I have seen people make burgers out of it. I have also often seen people cook it on the grill like steak.

I haven't had any venison for a while but when I have cooked it I put it in the crock pot just like a beef roast, and it comes out really tender. I just throw in some potatoes and carrots, maybe an onion depending who I am cooking it for. I just love it that way!

Mmmm...venison! The very mention of it makes my mouth water! Yum! I have to admit, I've never cooked it myself, but I remember my mom making it in the oven like a roast, along with potatoes and carrots and onions. Here is a website that features southern food. Maybe there is a recipe there that can help? http://southerfood.about.com/library/crock/blgame/htm Best wishes! Susan
