Venison jaeger schnitzel hunters cutlets is a classic German dish that combines venison, mushrooms, and a creamy sauce. It is a flavorful and hearty meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. The venison is first tenderized with a mallet, then dredged in flour and eggs. It is then fried in a hot pan until it is browned and cooked through. The schnitzel is then topped with a creamy mushroom sauce and served with a side of mashed potatoes or spaetzle.

VENISON SCHNITZEL
I don't have a clue where my Dad got this particular recipe, but he used to build it during hunting season when we had fresh venison (elk, antelope, mule or whitetail deer), 'hanging and aging'. I still make it when the opportunity presents itself.

Steps:
- Cut tenderloin into 1/2 inch steaks. Slice each steak in half horizontally, from the smallest toward the largest side, until there is only a very small section keeping the two halves connected. Slice a few small scores on the outer edges of each steak to prevent them from curling up when frying.
- Preheat oil and bacon drippings in a large heavy skillet over medium high heat. In a large shallow dish, combine flour, salt and pepper. In a separate shallow bowl, beat together egg and milk. In another shallow dish, combine bread crumbs and cracker crumbs.
- Dredge the steaks in the seasoned flour, and using a meat mallet, pound them down to just slightly less than their 1/4 inch thickness. Dip the steaks in the egg mixture, then coat each steak on both sides with the crumbs. Set aside on a clean plate. When all steaks are evenly coated, place prepared steaks gently in a single layer into the hot oil.
- Fry steaks for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle each steak lightly with lemon juice.

JAGERSCHNITZEL
This is a delicious dish I ordered again and again when I was stationed in Germany with the Army. It is best served with French fries to clean up the remaining gravy and a nice garden salad.

Steps:
- In a shallow dish, mix together the bread crumbs and flour. Season with salt and pepper. Place the egg in a separate dish. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dip pork steaks in egg, then coat with the bread crumb mixture. Fry in the hot oil until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
- Remove the pork to a platter and keep warm. Add onion and mushrooms to the skillet and cook until lightly browned. Pour in water and dissolve the bouillon cube. Simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir together the cornstarch and sour cream; stir into the skillet. Cook over low heat until thickened but do not boil. Spoon over the pork cutlets and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use a good quality venison steak: The better the quality of the venison, the better the schnitzel will be. Look for venison that is lean and has a good amount of marbling.
- Tenderize the venison: Venison can be tough, so it's important to tenderize it before cooking. You can do this by pounding it with a meat mallet or marinating it in a mixture of buttermilk and spices.
- Use a light breading: A heavy breading will weigh down the schnitzel and make it greasy. Use a light breading made with flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs.
- Cook the schnitzel over medium heat: Cooking the schnitzel over medium heat will help to prevent it from burning. Cook the schnitzel for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the schnitzel with a creamy sauce: A creamy sauce is the perfect complement to venison schnitzel. You can make a simple creamy sauce by combining heavy cream, butter, and flour.
Conclusion:
Venison schnitzel is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your venison schnitzel turns out perfect every time. Serve the schnitzel with a creamy sauce, mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
