I do like venison as a goat/beef substitute in curries.
I’ve eaten quite a bit of venison but without heavy sauces and seasoning, it doesn’t rate 2nd best to store bought beef.
It hasnt been properly cooked if thats the case. Most cuts should be seasoned lightly and seared over high heat to a max of medium rare. Tougher cuts should be braised or slow roasted.
I put up 3 gallon of canned venison stew this year and Ill take it over beef stew any day. Then theres the venison jerky...
