Yep. Been cooking venison for 35 years. I like that you included the "high heat" comment. I like to get my cast iron skillet to the smoking point, place the venison into the pan to get a hard sear, and then reduce the heat for the rest of the cooking time. I'm not a fan of rosemary or thyme, but the butter and garlic are essential! Excellent video.

I've always pan fried with onions but would try this. Mine usually turns out with a great gravy coating which appears after the sear , and reducing heat. I just adopted "resting" in the last year or so. I think it was chef Ramsy? A buddy of mine pointed out I was cooking it to long. I was doing fresh tender loins and I thought he was going to have kittens when I didn't remove them after a two minute sear!

This is how I cook mine at home, minus the rosemary (don't care for it). My son hunts so we have a freezer full of venison and elk. I also have learned over the years that the venison and elk he gets in the mountains will have a slightly gamier flavor because they eat sagebrush, where as when he hunts out on the plains where they eat grass, it will taste more like beef. We are in Colorado and hunting is just a way of life for us here.

I have found that leaving the silver skin on gives a gamey flavor, and turns most people away from venison. I have also found, that leaving it to "rest" is not favorable. The longer it sits after coming off the grill, the less desirable the texture gets. Some factors at play, could make a difference. I don't do steaks in a pan...wood/charcoal grill only. "Venison" covers a wide variety of species from a wide variety of places and diets. All my experience is with wild whitetails.

@thewestcountrykitchen6843 4 ай бұрын

It should for a while but to sear a steak, Venison or most other meats you want a very high temp which basically turns the buter into a buerre noisette, which is definately what you want 👍 froffy for basting but by the end of cooking you want golden browned butter ☺

My wife has cooked venison to perfection for 30 yrs and you’re all wrong. She says low and slow. Brown it in a fryin pan then into the oven in a roast pan, onions garlic and all the trimmings cook slow all afternoon. It took you that long to kill it, it should take you that long to cook it too. Remember good venison starts as soon as you pull the trigger. From the time it expires you must be absolutely anal about how you skin it , clean and wash it, let it age properly for at least 48 hrs, in the right temperature. Then you will have good venison with no gamey taste my friends.
