Diva, if you think that fried deer steak is awesome, I need to take you out to eat somewhere. You have got to get out of your sheltered life.

I am not knocking venison and I eat it often.. .but awesome steaks?

[Guest Diva]

Well, tvc you need to get out of Mid and South county more often and experience some good East Texas cookin'. If the right person prepares it, a fried deer steak can be extremely yummy! It's kinda like a chicken fried steak that is normally made with beef, but with deer in this case. But, like I said, it's all in the preparation that makes it yummy.

I understand that you can cover a piece of meat with breading and then smother it in cream gravy and make it edible. I love chicken fried steak of either veal or venison. I wouldn't put it in the category of awesome however. I guess if chicken fried steak is all that you have.......

It must be nice to have the money.....

[CATS80]

Im a poorboy. Most of those years I hunted public land and cheep leases.Working as a wal-mart greeter. Then I quit smoking and drinking And I use that money to Go on better hunts.....

[tvc184]

I need to retire anyway. Can you find me that job being a door greeter that pays enough to travel far and wide hunting on great ranches? Between a job like that and my retirement pay, I think I can do pretty well.

Cut the backstrap thin and add garlic and lemon pepper to your flower. Fry it in hot grease (but don't overcook). It is truely awesome .

You don't know what you are missing. Fried to a light golden brown

( batter) Add a little cream gravy and chow down.

I heard of another concoction that is really good. Take the backstrap before you slice it up. Slice it down one side about 3/4 of the way through it. Then on the inside of it slice it again down the length of it...kinda make an envelope of it. Then lay some pepper jack cheese in the middle of it. Then you stuff the inside with your favorite brand of boudain. Then you fold the sides back over it all and wrap it with bacon slices. Wrap it in foil and cook slow over coals on the grill. A couple of hours later, slice it up and chow down.

That sounds way yummy!

I've taken deer steaks before and cut them into nugget size pieces, wrapped each piece in bacon and seasoned them with TexJoy steak seasoning and garlic powder and grilled them on a charcoal grill. Those turned out really good too. The bacon keeps the steak moist and adds flavor.

Maybe we should start a "Favorite Deer Recipe" thread.

[tvc184]

Thanks to everyone for making my point so eloquently. Deer is great, as long as you cover it with breading and gravy, stuff it full of boudain, smother it in cheese, roll it in bacon, etc.

You would not cover a great piece of rib eye with breading. You would not take a t-bone and stuff it with boudain and cover it with cheese. Why? Because those are great pieces of meat and you don't need to cover them up with spices, breading, cheese, etc in order to give it some semblance of flavor.

I love to eat and cook deer. I make it into chicken fried steak. I have marinated it in mustard and then cubed it into a gravy. I can cook a great stew with a venison roast. I take the ground meat and make it into almost anything. I still think that any piece of meat that you have to cover with breading and then smother it in gravy or stuff it with boudain and cover it with cheese in order to say that it is awesome, is not awesome. The breading, bacon, cheese, boudain, garlic, gravy, etc are awesome. The piece of deer that you have to lavish the stuff on however is not. It could just as well be veal, venison, chicken and probably even dog for that matter. As long as you cover it with enough flavors, it is good.

So, do I like chicken fried backstrap? You bet. Do I enjoy a deer roast with potatoes, carrots and brown gravy. Sure I do. Deer chili is great. So is deer sausage in either link or pan. Is whitetail deer an awesome piece of meat however? Not hardly.

Now Diva, when are you going to cook me some deer?

:shock: Man your making me hungry!!

[tvc184]

:shock: Man your making me hungry!!

Me too. I think I am going to my freezer and get some backstrap.

I am going to slice it and then stuff it with boudain (and maybe some jalepenos) and some cheese. I will then wrap it in several slices of bacon. After that, I am going to double bread it in Japanese Panko style bread crumbs and cover it with Texjoy Steak Seasoning. I will then deep fry it and cover it in a thick cream gravy. Yum yum, what a tasty piece of deer that will be!! Nothing else like it.... no need for a prime rib when you have that available...
