How to Cook Venison

Cooking venison is much easier than most people think. Just because it is a wild animal does not make it difficult to cook.

Venison is a very versatile meat than can be used for cooking breakfast, soups, dinner, sandwiches, and best of all.....preparing deer jerkey. There is one main key to remember when cooking venison. You must make sure that you remove all of the white membrane from the meat.

Leaving it on the meat will make the meat tough and leave a "wild" taste in the mouth. The backstrip, also known as the tenderloin, is the most tender piece of meat on the deer. I would recommend using that cut of meat with these recipes.
