The fall of the year in the mid west is a beautiful place to live. The seasonal changes paint Mother Earth with a spectacular array of color and for the outdoor enthusiast it is always a favorite time to get outside and enjoy what nature offers.
October to late November is also a special time for those who enjoy hunting and there can be no greater anticipation than the opening of deer season. Arguably, hunting for white tail deer is one of the most challenging of the hunting experience and harvesting a deer is not only rewarding but also provides a hunters family with a freezer full of great meat. Venison is much leaner than beef and has a much finer texture. It is very similar in protein count but has fewer calories, fat and cholesterol than similar cuts of beef, pork or lamb. The down side is that, because of its low fat percentage, it can be tough and take on a game flavor if it is over cooked.
When processing the animal have the butcher focus on the choice cuts and process the balance into ground hamburger. I like to take the back straps and tenderloins, have three or four roasts set aside and have the balance of the meat ground. The other option is to have the steaks and chops cut, using the tenderloin. Either way, about seventy percent of the meat can be used to make up the ground and packed into 1 or 2 lb. sizes. The ground venison is wonderful for chili, spaghetti sauce, Sheppard’s pie or goulash. If you want to use it for making hamburgers you should add some pork fat to the mix. Five percent will do the trick and your venison burgers will grill and taste great.
With the loin (steaks or chops) Try this for a great plate.
2 lb. tenderloin
1 cup of Burgundy or Marcela Wine
1 Tbs. of Organic All Spice

Remove tenderloin from the pan and set aside. De glaze the cooking pan with ΒΌ cup of sherry. Add one cup of beef stock, some minced shallots and let it come to a boil. Strain the marinate from the bag and add it to the pan along with 2 Tbs of currant jelly. Stir and allow the mixture to reduce.
