Cut each mushroom into 3 pieces, add to onions, cook for 1 minute. Add tomato paste, stirring until smooth. Add beef broth and 1/2 cup red wine. Add browned meat and herbs, cook slowly until tender. About 2 hours.
Add remaining red wine while cooking. Boil the potatoes and cut them up, add to the stew about 20 minutes before serving.

Answer 2

Venison is a very lean meat but needs a lot of cooking.
Try this.
BRAISED VENISON

Venison, round rump
Chuck or heel or round, 4-5 lbs.
Seasoned flour, 1/4 c.
Venison drippings or chopped suet, 1/4 c.
1 onion, sliced
1 c. water or tomato juice

Choose a compact piece of venison, either solid or rolled. Rub on all sides with seasoned flour. Heat the fat in a heavy skillet or Dutch oven; brown the meat evenly on all sides; slip a rack under the meat, add onion and liquid. Cover and simmer gently 3 to 4 hours, or until very tender. If a rack is not used, turn the meat occasionally to insure even cooking. Add more liquid during cooking if necessary.

Depending on what part of the meat. If your cooking steaks(I soak mine in cold water to remove the gamey taste so my Daughter will eat it.). We eat deer meat mostly. Since I do the deer hunting! Personally I like deer meat in many different ways. I cook it as if it is any other type of meat. We have lots of sausage made. Its so much better than store bought. I thought I would offer you a recipe for meatloaf.
***********VENISON LOAF WITH MUSHROOMS
4 slices soft bread, crumbled
1/2 c. milk
2 eggs
1 c. mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1/2 c. tomato sauce
2 lbs. ground venison
1 lb. sage sausage
1/2 c. chives or onions
Water
Salt
Crumble the bread into a large bowl and dampen with milk. Beat eggs and add to softened crumbs together with tomato sauce, chives or onions, mushrooms, salt and pepper as desired. Mix ground venison and sage sausage together then work into mixture evenly. Add as much water as is needed to make a good substantial loaf. Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour or until done and well browned.
If you have enough mushrooms, saute an extra quantity quickly, in butter and pour over the loaf.

Answer 4

Marinate the meat in some buttermilk for up to 12 hours. That also helps to remove the gamey taste.

A friend of mine once cut the meat up into thin slivers and cooked it on the grill. Very tasty.

Answer 5

in a crock pot add your deer meat, a bottle of ketchup, and a can of peaches or two (puree if desired). let it cook on low for at least 5 hours. the ketchup and peaches creates a barbecue sauce that is amazing, and the deer doesn't taste gamey at all. if you want sometimes i add some potatoes and carrots in to make a stew. low and slow is the key to deer. good luck, i could eat some now.

Answer 6

For tenderloin:
Slice whole tenderloin into thin pieces (best done partially frozen).
Lay out in strips then sprinkle seasoning on pieces. Use your favorite all-purpose seasoning product such as Cavender's, Tony's Cajun Seasoning, Emeril essence, etc..
Next lay a stip of bacon on top of each piece the same size as the tenderloin. Roll up and stick in a toothpick to secure.
These are great cooked on the grill!

Answer 7

Sorry Todd there is no good way to cook deer meat - I tried everything under the sun still tastes like shi*

Maybe its just my tastes - opinion I guess..

Answer 8

Cheryl has it right about removing the tallow. If it is not cleaned properly it has too much of a "gamey" flavor.
You can use it the same as beef. Roasts, stews and chilis are really good.
enjoy!

Answer 9

Depends on how it has been cut...is it in a roast or like steaks? All of that really matter on how you going to cook it. If they are like steaks they are so good in a smoker...if not a crock pot is a good way.

Answer 10

Either stewed or in a roast.
If you have any back straps or sweet bread, then fry both of them for a breakfast sandwich
