Stuffed Venison Steaks with Homemade Chimichurri

  Text and Photos By Justin Townsend    This venison steak recipe is inspired by the Argentine rolled and stuffed flank steak recipe called Matambre. I substituted the eggs for cheese curds out of personal preference. Cheese curds have a higher melting point and can withstand the heat on the grill. My chimichurri recipe is also modified for what I had available and is a variation on the traditional recipe. Serves: 4 people Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 20 Minutes Special equipment: ...

Venison and Ramp Sandwiches

By Sam Dhaliwal and Oliver Classen This recipe is a new take on an old favorite. This steak sandwich highlights two of the tastiest ingredients in the woods--deer and ramps. Savory venison is complemented by the tangy, sweet, and slightly spicy pickled ramps in a combination that is simple, fresh, and delicious. Hopefully, the venison ramp sandwich will give you a break from the monotony of sauteing your ramps and turning every big hunk of deer meat in the freezer into a pot ...

Walleye-Stuffed Mushrooms   Ingredients: 8 ounces (about 12) white or portabella mushrooms 1/3 cup fish fillets (about 2 ounces), coarsely chopped 1/2 tsp lemon juice 2 tbsp each of butter, finely chopped yellow onion, ...

Crispy 5-Spice Wild Duck

Author: Jenny Ly
In Chinese-Vietnamese cooking, 5-spice and duck is a classic flavor combo. And in this particular recipe, the finishing salt and pepper mix is the star of the show. It is super simple and makes the duck breasts, and many other game animals for that matter, taste incredible. This recipe will likely make extra of the salt and pepper mix, and so I recommend keeping any excess in a tightly sealed jar. Sprinkle it on steak, deep-fried small game and even crispy pork chops. There are two areas ...

Deer Heart Tacos

Author: Simon Tiedge
After having the opportunity to try venison heart on my first white-tailed deer hunting trip, I was quite surprised by how much I liked it. If I rated the cuts on a deer by my personal preference, I would say it is in the prime cut category, with backstrap and tenderloins. It’s not quite as tender, and it has a distinct flavor, but it’s delicious and a sizable amount of meat.  The heart for this particular dish came from a friend of mine. He and his dad invited me to hunt their land in ...

Wild Game Blue Cheese Burger

As summer comes into view and the meat selection in the freezer gets a little sparse, we love to utilize ingredients we have on hand to create a recipe perfect for the warmer weather and some outdoor grilling. I learned of this burger recipe from a Vermonter I was guiding with in north Idaho. Here’s to you Matt Majoros. The combination of sweetness from the maple syrup, spiciness of the pepper and savoriness from the blue cheese comes together to create a perfect burger. Wild Game Blue ...
