ground deer recipe

Looking for a quick meal before you hop back in the stand this afternoon? Look no further than Salisbury steak, or what I like to call the Midwest meatball. Laced with classic flavors, topped with a thick mushroom gravy, and served with mashed potatoes, it’s the perfect pick-me-up before a hike into...

Venison Salisbury Steak

Salisbury Steak

venison

yellow onion, pureed

ketchup

Worcestershire sauce

soy sauce

garlic powder

smoked paprika

mustard

salt

black pepper

tbsp. vegetable or canola oil

Mushroom Gravy

wild game stock

cremini mushrooms, sliced

yellow onion, diced

garlic cloves, diced

unsalted butter

Dijon mustard

all-purpose flour

Salt and pepper

Whipped Potatoes

lbs. gold potatoes, peeled and halved

cheese,

milk

In a large pot, add the peeled potatoes and cover with cold water. Season with a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Combine the milk and butter in a small pot and heat until the butter melts.

Boil the potatoes until soft in the center. Drain and place the potatoes back into the pot. Add the milk, butter, and parmesan. Season with salt. With a large spoon, mix the potatoes vigorously until well combined. Pour the whipped potatoes into a baking dish and set aside.

While the potatoes are boiling, combine all of the Salisbury steak ingredients in a mixing bowl, except the oil and parsley. Mix with your hands until well combined. Separate the meat into four portions. Form the meat mixture into oval patties about 1/2-inch thick. Slice the mushrooms, dice the onion and garlic, and set aside.

Add the vegetable oil to a large cast iron skillet. Bring the pan to medium-high heat. Place the steaks in the pan, making sure to leave some space between each patty. Sear each side until nicely browned and remove from the pan. Add the butter, onion, and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender.

Next, whisk in the flour and cook the mixture until the flour becomes golden brown. Whisk in the wild game stock, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire until the gravy is well combined and smooth. Reduce the heat to low, season with salt and pepper, place the patties back into the gravy, and simmer until cooked through, probably about 15 minutes.

Broil the potatoes until browned on the top (optional). Serve the Salisbury steak with the whipped potatoes, mushroom gravy, and your favorite vegetables. Garnish with parsley.

This Spanish-inspired stew was designed for busy weeknights when you need a healthy dinner on the table in 30 minutes. The recipe is pretty versatile, as it works with your choice of ground meat and a shelf-stable starch such as couscous. It’s a different approach to incorporating ground meat into...

Ground Venison and Red Pepper Soup

kosher salt

tbsp. smoked paprika

rosemary leaves (use 1 tsp. if ground)

chicken stock*

red peppers,

kale

Israeli couscous, orzo pasta, brown rice, diced potatoes, or pre-cooked chickpeas

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add roughly a tablespoon of olive oil to the pot, or enough to coat it in a thin layer. Once the oil shimmers, add the ground venison and brown. Sprinkle in the salt, paprika, and rosemary, and stir to combine. Remove the venison and set aside.

Add another tablespoon of oil if needed and sauté the diced onion until brown and soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook an additional minute, or until fragrant.

Deglaze the pan with chicken stock (see note below). Return the venison and add the strips of red peppers. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes to reduce the liquid and intensify flavors.

Add the pasta or beans and kale to the pot. Cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender.

Taste and season with extra salt or black pepper if desired. Serve hot.

*Grains and pastas can absorb up to twice their weight in liquid; if using this type of starch you will need about 8 cups of chicken stock. If using beans or potatoes, you may only need about 6 cups of liquid.

*Many grocery stores carry roasted red bell peppers in a jar. Look in the pasta aisle near the canned tomatoes, artichokes, and capers.
