Crispy Venison Spring Rolls

There isn’t what you might call a “basic” spring roll. Some are fried, some are wrapped in softened rice paper, and the filling varies considerably. Here’s a recipe for a crispy appetizer that’s an unconventional use for venison, but it sure is good. Try it on your friends who long ago decided that they just…

Grilled Venison with Beerbecue Sauce

I know, the name “Beerbecue Sauce” is stupid, but, I do stupid things. Once you get past the cutesy name, I think you will enjoy the recipe. I’ve also used the barbecue sauce on grilled fish, upland game and just about any thing else that works on the ‘cue. I often grill any cut of…

Venison Stroganoff

Most stroganoffs call for mushrooms, so use fresh ones for the best taste. And if you don’t like mushrooms, leave ’em out. I add parsley and blue cheese to the top of mine not only as a garnish, but the blue cheese adds that ‘kick.’ PrintVenison Stroganoff Ingredients2 lbs venison, carefully trimmed and sliced thinly…

Venistrone Soup

Venison (deer, elk, antelope, moose) Shoulder Roast

Here’s my take on cooking antlered game shoulder and neck roasts. It’s not an exact method and do keep in mind if the meat doesn’t fall off the bone, keep cooking and make sure you’ve got some liquid, bbq sauce, etc. keep it moist during the last phase of cooking. For a link of a video…

Easy Meat Sauce Recipe For Venision

Whenever I make a meaty red sauce, I make a giant batch. I’ll use some of it for a few days on pasta, chicken, over burgers, with meatballs or spread over pizza dough. The rest is divided into smaller batches, cooled and packed for the freezer. When I’m short on prep time, I can quick-thaw…
