Venison

-->
  • Venison mainly refers to meat from deer, but can also be used to describe meat from other wild game, such as moose. Venison is eaten as steaks, sausages, ground meat, and roasts. It can be used to replace beef in almost any recipe, though its lack of fat will alter cooking times. Adding fats like butter may be needed to prevent the venison from becoming dry. Another popular way to enjoy venison is by making venison jerky. Venison has a deeper flavor than beef, described by some as woody or berry-like.
