CI Deer Steaks!!

[Rafter H BBQ]

Hey all, my daughter asked the other day.. "Dad, can we cook up some of my deer steaks?" I said sure, how do you want em seasoned & cooked? She went into deep thought... then said. "How about that SPOG seasoning in the Cast Iron." I said, that sounds like a plan to me!

So, she got 2 packages out of the freezer to thaw! Next day, we seasoned em up with SPOG!

Put a bit of bacon grease in the CI skillet & we were in business!

Took these to 132* IT, let rest for a few.. Final IT, 134* which is perfect for us!

Plated these up with some fried taters & a salad!

Had to thank my daughter for a good idea. These were tasty, nice meal all in all. Thanks for lookin all!

Ya know a lot of people (well in my opinion) over cook venison. Medium rare leaning towards the rare for me. Bear you nailed it.
Richie I miss hunting too!

Growing up I hated venison. My mother was of the idea that wild game had to be cooked to death or we would die of some woodland disease. Wasn't until I started hunting with some buddies and they cooked some that I realized I really liked venison. Sometimes moms are weird.

Sounds like Your Mom could be my long lost Aunt, on my Mother's side!!!

Oh yes, you did it nice. Deer steaks well done on a grill or in a pan is like old chewing gum. Dry, lost its flavor and chewy as hell. It's just the wrong use of a fine lean meat. Fatty meats need to go in pans or on a grill for well done. No more than medium ever, for wild meats, on a grill and a pan, but can be well done in a crock, soup or stew as its a wet environment cooking style.

People need to learn you can't cook wild meat like you do corn feed farm meat. We eat goose and duck too and I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard "I don't like duck, its so fatty." Well, you never eat a wild one then, becuase its so lean normally its shoe leather if you cook it to 160° like chicken!

Thanks, sorry for the delayed response! I agree, nothing like meat from the wild! We love elk & deer meat! Duck & goose are very tasty as well!
