Best cut of Venison?

bbqgeekess · 03-02-2014, 09:33 PM

I'd like to cook something at home with Venison -- I've had venison sausage before and liked it fine.

I know of a butcher that has venison.

What cut should I start with? What is the best tasting cut?

Should I start with some ground venison and make a burger? Should I make sausage first? How about a venison steak?

(I have an LEM #5 grinder, so I grind the meat myself in need be.)

Thanks.

Hands down the backstrap is the best...

Hind quarter. Cheese steaks, burger, dried venison, jerkey, roast, steak.

Yeah, backstrap cut into filets. Wrap bacon around each filet and season with cracked black pepper, sea salt and some garlic. Grill it hot and fast!

hey bbqgeekss go look at my vension thread I just posted

I realize that it's not smoking/BBqing but the finest thing you can do to venison backstrap and tenderloins is to make chicken-fried steak and cover it with gravy.

My wife makes incredible venison CFS and it is one of my family's favorite meals.

I want to shoot a deer lol. Just to save money.

I dunno, I never terminated an animal before. Bugs yes.

I'd probably feel sad.
