That elk is gorgeous!! I'd love for hubby to get to go elk hunting and get one!

I made venison stroganoff and venison vegetable noodle soup yesterday, both in the slow cookers to break down any remaining silverskin. I like venison, but I also like to cover the gameyness of it with sauces. I'm not too into the gameyness like others are. The venison stroganoff was delicious! I was worried it wouldn't be tender, but DH said "It's at LEAST as tender as the noodles!" man he was right. Nothing worse than tough meat! Blech! Once we eat up this, I want to make bbq pulled venison

Here is my stroganoff recipe!

1 to 1/2 pounds of cubed venison meat
salt and pepper to taste
mushrooms (either fresh or a small can, I like fresh but didn't have em last night)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 8oz container of sour cream
1/2 cup red wine
2 tablespoons of chopped chives
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 diced onion (I liked using a red onion)
1 tablespoon worchterishire sauce (sorry If i spelt that wrong)
1 beef boullian cube
Couple teaspoons of flour to thicken the sauce
Additional seasonings to taste(we use a mix called English prime rib rub from Penzeys..)
1 package egg noodles

Throw everything but the egg noodles in the crock pot and put on low for 6-8 hours. You are suppossed to wait to the last hour before putting in the sour cream, and if you are home, do that. Also if using fresh mushrooms do that. Otherwise if you're leaving for work, throw it all in. It will still come out just fine. The sour cream just tends to seperate from the wine and you just have to mix it back together. Boil noodles and serve! Venison comes out very tender, and that was using random cubed meat that he cut from the carcass.

I have also made this using dried perchini mushrooms, which I would highly recommend ANY dried mushroom. Rehydrate in hot water, and dump both the mushrooms and stewing water in the pot! You get a lot more earthy flavor than you do using canned or fresh. You will have to add more flour to thicken it accordingly, but you can figure it out

Enjoy!

That recipe looks yummy..Id love to see others or if not recipes, at least cooking tips. I know with the lower fat content that it might have a tendency to be tough. Would love to see ideas on how to keep it tender and not dry it out.

Nice... I think it's weird that states allow two bucks or multiple buck tags. We are only allowed one in Ohio but can take pretty much as many does as you can shoot.

I wonder why that is...

Nice deer though!
