Deer Flank with Asparagus
Venison flank steaks are cut from the abdominal section. They’re thin and tender, but often discarded by processors. Before cooking, remove the thin membrane that surrounds the flank. On flank steaks from larger animals, it helps to gently pound them until the meat is about 1/4-inch thick throughout.
