    came off this young stag.
    around his ar$e somewhere?
    ah it was thick like a fillet steak from a butchers which a also cut so they cook threw :D
    id say it could have just been me fussy and making sue it was cooked well.
    might have been better if i left it pinky?

    From the look of him, if handled any way decent, rump cuts from this should melt in your mouth.

    Everyone to their own taste but worth remembering that venison is so much redder than farm grown beef thay in order to have no pink you have to cremate it. Even well done will still be a little pink.

    Touch your thumb to your forefinger. Now feel the big muscle in your palm at the bottom of your thumb with the forefinger of your other hand; that muscle will feel how meat cooked rare should feel. Touch your thumb to your middle finger to see what medium rare feels like; ring finger for medium; and little finger for medium well. Touch the countertop to see what well done feels like :D

    Just get your frying pan rocket-hot with nothing (not even oil) in it (and this works a lot better with a cast iron frying pan - and you shouldn't really do it with a teflon pan); put oil on the meat not the pan, put the meat into the pan, turn it once after 60 seconds; and now start poking the meat while it's in the pan and see how it feels. Check it first about 30 seconds after the turn; then check it every 10-15 seconds. When it feels right, take it out of the pan and put it into a fold of tinfoil and leave it sit for twice as long as it was in the pan and then another two minutes on top of that (if you don't do this, when you cut into the meat, all the juices run out onto the plate instead of staying in the meat).

    That's pretty much all there is to cooking steaks in a pan regardless of what animal they're cut from (well, except for tuna steaks) so long as they're less than an inch and a half thick. If they're any thicker than that, you do it by time (90 seconds each side then put the entire pan in a 250C oven for two or three minutes and then take it out and rest it in the tin-foil, but to be honest, a steak that thick isn't as much fun as it sounds).

    i must do that with my next bit of steak.

    Last couple of pheasants I shot were old tough cocks. Cooked them in a slow cooker for a few hours, tasty and tender, even the legs.

    I used a half bottle of Cab Sav with some basil and herbs on the last joint I marinaded.

    Was quite tasty.

    I might try the last of my Venison steaks out on the Barbie tomorrow if the weather holds up

    This is all very intresting as I love food ( I eat nothing else). Last week one of my lecturers in collage discovered I was into shooting and wondered could I get few rabbits for her sometime (could be handy around exam time):rolleyes:. I imginne to get it to dublin from home it would have to be frozen, would this harm the flavour? And would I have to salt water cure it before I freeze it or is that the cooks job?

    Shoot bunny leave in fridge overnight in Zip lock bag, next day put in coolbag and give it to her fresh.

    Only giver her a 3/4 sized rabbit as they are the nicest.
    I roast bunnies whole so I do not use salt water healthier heart ;)

    'Shoot bunny leave in fridge overnight in Zip lock bag, next day put in coolbag and give it to her fresh''
    Thanks Tack, just the bunny would be shot on say a saturday evening lastest and it would be nine on a monday moring before she gets it and then she has to go home and cook it. Would that be to long just to have it in the fridge? I may get the boom stick out and do a few experiments as the neighbour has a notion of eating rabbit to:) happy days.See if theres any diffrence between fresh and frozen.
    As for the salt, down here in the deep south we like to have all our foods in a 'dacent batter';)

    Made quare use of the bbq lately. Take your meat, in this case pork ribs and a rabbit. Rub this on it. Leave it in a Zip lock bag overnight in the fridge. Then wrap individual racks of ribs or whole rabbit in cling film then wrap that again in tin foil to create a water tight seal. Roast in the oven at 150 degrees C or equivalent for 3 1/2 hrs. Time it that the when they come out the bbq is just coming ready. Open them up but allow the meat 15 mins to soak up the juices again. Then onto the bbq and start brushing this on, the sticky hickory one. Mmmmmmmmmm! wash down with cold beer. :pac:

    that sticky hickory marinate is gorgeous with any kind of meat even when you just cut up the meet and stick it in a bowl of marinate in the fridge for a few hours.

    no bbq should be had without it

    Stuffed Deers Heart
    A delicious part of the animal which never should go to waste.
    I blended 3 slices of bread, scallions, garlic, sea salt and black pepper corns.
    Hollowed out the hearts and stuffed then. Used a wooden BBQ stick to seal the hearts.
    Placed on the top shelf of the BBQ which was at it's lowest setting for approx 30 min, turned once.
    Lovely with a spud and a bottle of Stella:)

    I know!

    I was really looking forward to having some Venison Jerky.
    I have some in my freezer now, might try it on one of my days off.

    I'd love to be able to bring some with me out stalking.
    As I always give up stalking and head for the Chipper, no wonder I'm a fat cnut :o

    On a hot pan with a little oil and 2 minutes max each side, no longer as you'll ruin them and they're then taste like just any other meat. They need to still be pink inside, the only way to eat venison off the pan.

    A few nice Fallow chops.......
