THE DEER :- OTHER MEAT

the hunter managed to down a deer, performed some field dressing and loaded it in the back of the truck straight to his home, now what? Remembering a joke from Larry the Cable Guy, I guess it can be marinated for 6 months, tough as hell them deer jerky.

But there are numerous deer recipes to choose from, and it's not only just roasting it over a pit, but the process takes several hours since deer meat is indeed tough. So what does the hunter/chef do?

Roasting a deer takes a bit of preparation and lots of patience since it requires at least 12 to 16 hours of cooking. It's going to kill your electric or gas bill in a day, but it's well worth it or risk losing your dentures. Deer meat, once soft and tender, is like eating beef only better, or at least depending on what sort of seasonings used. One way to save up on paying those bills is to cook it over an open fire and use a poker to regulate the flames. It's crude but effective and a great excuse to drink beer outside while waiting for the meat to tenderize.

Among the deer dishes most people have tasted is the roast venison. Scrumptious, not to overbearing when it comes to the meat. It involves setting the meat in room temperature for 8 hours before storing it in the refrigerator. This way, the pores will open up, allowing the marinade to enter until cooled. After the ingredients such as stewed tomatoes, sliced red onions, brown sugar and garlic are added in a crock pot and cooked on low for 10 to 12 hours. It takes time, but the wait is well worth it. Different States offer their own version of the venison roast and some add a little twist of their own, but it would be too many to even include in this articles so it's best to do a search for deer recipes on the internet.

There are other types of recipes but the cooking time can kill anyone's patience. It would have been interesting to just let it cook for like 30 minutes and come out laughing when they couldn't cut the meat with a chainsaw. Since most of the recipes involve having natural tenderizers like ginger and garlic to eliminate the smell, it will be up to the hunter whether to be brave and patient enough to start cooking the deer.
