If you are afraid of the gamey taste, just soak the steak pieces in milk or buttermilk overnight and it will take that away. If you are using a crock pot and a cream soup, you do not have to do this.

If you process your own deer, venison can be cut into roasts, back strap, steaks, stew meat and then you ground the rest. You can get it processed into summer sausage, landjaegers, ring bologna or anything that you wish – but you must try my venison recipes and even save some money. Personally, I think it’s much better.

How to Remove “wild gamey” taste
It isvery importantto trim the visible fat – this removes the gamey taste that turns people off.
Marinating venison is simple and really adds to the flavor. Some marinate it in milk, but I use apple cider (not vinegar). Try this – it’s wonderful.
Take a knife and stick through the meat. Pull the meat back on one side and stuff with bacon or some other kind of fat; repeat on the other side. This is calledlarding.
You can also top a venison roast with bacon slices when it is cooking. If you make sausage, be sure to add some pork fat for flavor.
NOTE: I find that folks cook their venison two ways. The first is medium-rare, and the second is when it’s fully cooked and falling off the bone. Anything in between is inedible. All of these venison recipes are interchangeable with any wild game meat or beef.
This venison recipe is an easy and tasty meal.

CANNED VENISON RECIPE
Servings
This recipe makes 5 to 7 quarts.
Ingredients
10 lbs raw cubed venison
5 to 7 beef bouillon cubes
2 large onions, ringed or cut into strips
beef suet
PER QUART JAR ADD:
1 teaspoon canning salt
1/2 of a beef bouillon cube
Directions
Now pack with cubed meat and add 7 to 10 pieces of onion per jar (or personal preference). I use a wooden spoon to pack it in tightly. Add a chunk of suet (fat) on top. Remove air bubbles and leave 1 inch head space; affix the two-part lids.
Process in a presser cooker at 10 pounds for approximately for 1-1/2 hours (quart jars).
One of our favorite ways is to open and drain. Mix a can of cream of chicken soup, a pack of onion soup mix and stir into the meat. put in a baking dish and bake for about 30 minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice. Delicious and easy! I also use it with soups or stews.
Make easy and quick meals with canned venison in stews, soups, sandwiches, or just heat and serve with rice, potatoes, or noodles and vegetable. The meat can be warmed and eaten as is or used in stews, chili or hot dishes or in sandwiches.
