Essential Grilled Venison Steaks
For a classic grilled venison steak, season the meat with salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika. Grill over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F for medium-rare. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Pan-Seared Rabbit with Mushrooms
To pan-sear rabbit, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Sear the rabbit breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Serve with sautéed mushrooms and a sprinkle of thyme.
Hearty Wild Game Stew
For a hearty wild game stew, brown 1-2 pounds of game meat (such as deer or elk) in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 2 cups of liquid (such as stock or wine) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the meat is tender. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of herbs.
