    Default Venison / Roe Deer

    Hi,
    Recently bought a whole Roe Deer and looking for suggestions for marinade / sauce / cooking etc.
    Had planned slow roasting the legs but not sure what I should throw in with it.
    Also any suggestions for the steaks??

    Cheers

    Cook it like coq au vin ish.
    Brown whatever meat you choose.
    Bacon onions fried off, add bit of flour to cook thro then red wine. Cook til tender then thicken slightly with butter and flour (nice but fattening and bit fiddly) or cornflour and water. Herbs like thyme would be good in this too. I like to cook mushrooms separately in a bit of butter then add them at the end.

    Yummy

    I have a neighbour who raises meat goats and he passed on this method for a roast - I've only tried it with small ones. You just coat the whole thing with salt, I just used regular table salt, and cook it really low for several hours. I do mine around 250 deg F. It comes out so tender and not salty at all. Must hold the juices in or something- the kids absolutely love it! Haven't tried it on goat tho...think I'll skip that one.

    People who think they know it all....are especially annoying to those of us that do.
