Favorite venison dish/recipe.

Found a recipe for a Cuban dish called Ropa Vieja that I've been using deer in, pretty tasty. But my favorite is still cubed and fried with homemade gravy, collard greens and rice.
LOVE some fried cube steak and gravy Probably my favorite. However, I have a shoulder roast cooking in a Dutch oven as we speak and it sure smells good.
 
It's kind of boring but I like a plain old burger with kosher salt, coarse ground pepper and garlic powder topped with white American cheese and grilled Vidalia onions on a toasted / buttered brioche bun. My processor packs about 2 lbs of ground per package so I usually have several burgers left over. The next day I warm one up in a cast iron skillet in the oven with a couple of big spoonfuls of jalapeno queso on top. When the queso melts down good, it's time to eat!

Another favorite is a recipe for backstrap shotgun 01 shotgun 01 shared with me a few years ago. I'm not sure if it's a family recipe so he can share it if he wants to : )

One of the four brothers I grew up with here in Virginia makes the best deer jerky I have ever had. Not only the best deer jerky but the best jerky I have ever had. I have already put in a order for his next batch. That stuff is addictive it's so good. Next year I am going deer hunting and I am going to pay him to make deer jerky out of the whole thing. Put in the freezer in vacuum pack bags and eat on it for the year. That and deer sausage is my favorite way to the eat meat. Stew is always a favorite as well.
 
I have several favorites, but if I had to pick it would be a Mississippi Pot Roast.

My second favorite is simple:
I cut down the length of a backstrap, unrolling it as I go, until it is a 3/8” thick slab. I paste on some jalapeno cream cheese and roll it back up into its original shape. Wrap it with bacon, then smoke it low and slow.
 
Andrew Zimmern's wild game cooking show is awesome. Here's a great recipe that I'm going to try.

 
I like making a stew of sorts out of sliced bsckstraps and seving over rice or biscuits. W sauce, onions, garlic, a little bit of beef broth, and cook it like a stir fry but add the liquid to it and pour over rice. It's pretty good. Either that of ol trusty bacon wrapped backstraps.

Get a nice char on the tenderloin and veggies before putting them into the broth. :hungry:
