Recently, I had a friend over for dinner. It was impromptu and she brought along some venison that her dad had hunted. We whipped up something that was quick and delicious, so I thought I'd share it with you since we're all always looking for quick weekday meals. The best part is that this sauce…
On Sunday I went to watch an Australian car race at the shiny new track in Austin, but that is for another day. Then I made Venison Tacos!
They were tangy and full of crunchy colorful bits.
I highly recommend making a big batch of this and having a taco party. If you don't have venison try…
A roast is often times made from a tougher cut of meat, a portion of the leg, for example.
But I recently decided to turn two aged venison backstraps into a roast, which produced wonderful results in a much shorter time. If you don't have venison, I highly recommend beef as well.
The idea is to fold…
This is one of my favorite simple preparations for tender cuts of meat. I use it often on lamb chops and it is ready in less than 20 minutes. I had some purty venison backstraps from my Girl Hunter Weekend in Arkansas, aged 20 days, so I tried my magic rub on them and it…
I brought a nice venison haunch back from my Girl Hunter Weekend in Arkansas. Ain't it a beauty?
It was aged for about 20 days. And since I was having a gathering of a large group of people I decided to put it to good use. I've made many stews before so I decided to think…
When Lewis and Clark set out on their Corps of Discovery they struggled to find fresh meat, especially during the coldest winter months. The meat they obtained came from hunting and fishing, through trade, or through the kindness of American Indians. The Corps ate everything from dog, to whale, to horse, and because fresh meat…
There something about campfire eating.
Maybe it's the coziness or the color. Maybe it's the flavor the wood and smoke impart on the food.
I just took a trip to Arkansas and we did quite a lot of campfire eating.
The very first thing I ate when I arrived were those things in the shovel. Can you see…
Tenderloin. Is there anything better?
Please name it.
Go ahead... I'll wait...
.... .... ....
That's what I thought.
Tenderloin...the stuff of Gods.
There were dozens of deer aging in Paul Michael's snazzy cement hanging room at deer camp. And he let me go in and pull the tenderloins from as many as I wanted. Christmas come early, I say! I…
In a few weeks I'll be deer hunting. Someone recently told me that squirrel is the best meat in the woods. And while I plan on testing that theory and presenting you with a squirrel recipe one of these days, until then I'm clinging on to the notion that venison is the best meat in the woods.
The key…
