Venison, which usually refers to deer meat, is low in calories, lean, and nutrient-rich. Packed with vitamin B12, phosphorus, and iron, this meat will provide all the great unseen extras to your dishes. It’s also low in fat and cholesterol.
Normally, because of how lean it is, this meat has a tendency to cook very fast and dry out. Kitchen Kneads recommends lowering the temperature when cooking on the stove. One of the best ways to cook venison is to grill it! Don’t forget to use oil, the lean meat has a tendency to stick.
Venison normally has a deeper flavor, the meat absorbs and distributes very well needing fewer seasonings and less marinade time. Utilizing an oil-based marinade can help avoid drying the meat out too much when cooking. Venison is great for steaks, burgers, ground up, and added to any dish you would normally use beef.
Because of the lower fat content, the venison is a little tougher in texture, especially after cooking. We came about and tweaked to perfection this amazing chili recipe. When slow-cooked in chili juices version comes out savory and tender. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
