Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound boneless venison roast, thinly sliced across the grain
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon grill seasoning
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 cups beef broth
¼ cup butter
¼ cup flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Season the venison with garlic, grill seasoning, and chili powder. Place into a casserole dish, and pour in the beef broth. Cover the dish with a lid, and bake in preheated oven until the venison is tender, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter begins to bubble, whisk in the flour. Cook while whisking constantly until the flour turns a golden yellow, and the bubbling slows, about 10 minutes.
  • When the venison has finished cooking, whisk 1 1/2 cups of the broth from the venison roast into the flour roux, and simmer for 15 minutes, whisking frequently. Add the venison to the gravy and serve.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Game Meats     Venison

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup self-rising flour
½ tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
¾ cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 pound boneless venison steak, cubed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon maple syrup
¼ cup all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • To make biscuits, mix the self-rising flour and sugar together in a bowl, and stir in the melted butter and 3/4 cup of milk. Knead the dough very lightly for 5 to 7 times, until it barely hangs together, and roll out to 1/2 inch thick on a floured surface. Cut biscuits with a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass dipped in flour.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and place the deer meat into the hot butter. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper, and pan-fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the meat to a platter.
  • Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits off of the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Stir in 1 cup of milk and the maple syrup, and whisk in all-purpose flour until smooth. Bring the gravy back to a simmer, add salt and pepper to taste, and allow to thicken, whisking to avoid lumps. Return the deer meat to the gravy, and simmer until the gravy is thick, 5-10 minutes. Serve over biscuits.

VENISON STEAKS WITH GRAVY



Venison Steaks With Gravy image

With a man in the family that hunts deer for 2 weeks each year I had to start trying to find ways to cook it all up. This is one of the better recipes I have found and use it often. Came from a Google search and then I tweaked it a little.

Provided by Tiggrr

Categories     Deer

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 venison steak
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce (I used low salt)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 -3 juniper berries, crushed
1/2 cup water
beef gravy granules, as needed

Steps:

  • Mix together garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil, juniper berries and water.
  • Pour over venison steaks and marinade at least 4-6 hours or overnight. Venison is not very fatty so the longer you marinade the better.
  • Preheat barbecue to 500°F making sure to season the grill well with oil of your choice. Remove steaks from marinade and reserve sauce for gravy.
  • Sear each side of the steak, approximately 3 min each side. Turn down grill to low and allow to cook for another 10-15min depending on your preference. I prefer mine medium rare.
  • Meanwhile take the reserved marinade and pour into small sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Add enough beef gravy granules( I use Bistro) to thicken sauce. Add a bit at a time so as not to over thicken. (If you do just add a bit of water to thin).
  • Remove steaks from grill, serve with prepared gravy.

VENISON WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY ROAST



Venison With Mushroom Gravy Roast image

After growing up in a hunting heritage type of family, this recipe was adopted as a family favorite. While just about any cut of venison can be utilized, I usually choose the tenderloin, as that is easily the tastiest, and most desired piece of venison ever available. This is an easy dish as there are no special seasoning or marinating steps required. This recipe is for the natural venison lover! This dish can be served alone, or accompanied with sides of wild rice, potatoes of any kind (including mashed utilizing some of the already available gravy, baked, twice baked, or hash browns), corn, green beans, or anything else you would like. This is a very accommodating recipe that goes well with just about anything. You can dress this meal up for special occasions, or simply make this an everyday family affair. This dish will fit well into whatever type of event you would like, depending on what else accompanies it, and how it is presented. It is truly a great American heritage type of dish! Enjoy, and try to stay out of the way from those who will certainly be diving in for a refill of this dish (at the very least, they will want the recipe for it)!!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 -7 venison tenderloins (I use 4-6 tenderloin steaks approx. 6-8 oz. per steak... can be varied)
butter or margarine
1 yellow onion (cut into 1-inch sections)
1 large green pepper (cut into 1-inch sections)
1 large sweet red pepper (cut into 1-inch sections)
mushroom (thinly sliced, quartered, and halved)
1/2 cup green onion (chopped and separated)
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup

Steps:

  • Pan fry the venison (slowly with a low flame) in a lightly buttered pan until well browned. (I thoroughly cook my venison, and apply butter coatings to top sides to prevent drying the meat as it cooks. However, you can cook to your own preferences -- keep in mind this is a wild dish, hence my thorough initial cooking).
  • Add 1 tablespoons butter to separate pan to sauté following 4 ingredients (yellow onions through mushrooms). Sauté yellow onions in pan first, this will allow caramelization, and a full rich flavour of onions. After onions become tender, add the green pepper, red pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté all ingredients above until tender, and onions are slightly caramelized. Add 1/4 cup chopped green onions to sauté pan and simmer 1-2 more minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • After all ingredients are sautéed, remove from heat and place 1/2 evenly into a casserole dish creating a layer across the bottom of the dish. After tenderloins are cooked, remove from pan, and place on top of the bed of sautéed vegetables. Cover tenderloin with the remaining sautéed vegetables. Finally cover everything evenly with 2 cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup. The soups will create a wonderful gravy as it is cooked in the oven. Cover casserole dish with foil, and place into preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes, or until gravy is slightly golden brown.
  • Remove from oven when finished and garnish with remaining 1/4 cup chopped green onions. Serve immediately to awaiting guests and family members!

Tips:

  • Tenderize the venison: Marinating the venison in a mixture of buttermilk, garlic, and herbs overnight helps tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Sear the venison: Searing the venison over high heat creates a caramelized crust that locks in the juices and adds flavor.
  • Cook the venison slowly: Braising or stewing the venison over low heat for several hours allows the meat to become fall-apart tender.
  • Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid you use will add flavor to the venison. Try using red wine, beef broth, or a combination of both.
  • Add vegetables and herbs: Vegetables and herbs can add flavor and complexity to the venison dish. Common additions include onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and thyme.
  • Thicken the gravy: If you want a thicker gravy, you can add a cornstarch or flour slurry to the cooking liquid. Be sure to whisk constantly to avoid lumps.

Conclusion:

Venison is a delicious and versatile meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you're braising it, stewing it, or grilling it, there are endless possibilities for creating delicious venison dishes. With a little planning and effort, you can easily prepare a venison meal that your family and friends will love.
