Hey guys, we just had a venison roast, ribs and steak given to us. My question is this, How do we go about removing the gamie taste? I know the tricks of soaking in buttermilk and read in a post about removing the fat.
But money is tight at the moment so can’t soak in buttermilk and it is already frozen so removing the fat before freezing is not an option.
Thanks

Yummmmm! I’m envious – I miss venison – haven’t had any since we left WV six years ago.
As far as the question of whether the meat was left out too long – I don’t know, beyond the sniff/look tests.

Hmm, well I know of the buttermilk trick. Or what if you were to soak it in a marinade overnight. Wonder if that would help any?
On site that I like to look up things on is Cooks.com. You can find almost anything on there. Might try it and see if you can find anything on there.
Good Luck.

Quote:well i would think that you could tell by the smell or look of it if it was bad or notand the texture — does it have a sticky feeling ? (when it’s thawed out of course). i would only acccept something like this from someone i knew, as well.
not knowing who’s hands this meat has been in, is another story (hunting & proccessing) ect.. to many unanwsered questions here..

Anyway, back to your question…. To make the most delicious, melt in your mouth roast that you’ve ever had, take a Lg Can of V8 juice, 1 pkg of Lipton Onion Soup Mix and 1 roast and 2 onions quartered.
Rinse the roast under cool water, place the roast and the other 2 ingredients in the crockpot, cook on medium all day. Late in the afternoon add washed/chunked potatoes & carrots.This is SO Good even my picky-ass mother loved it, (well, until I made the mistake of telling her what it was).
Hugs!

I almost forgot, you can tell whether venison is safe the same way you tell if beef is safe, color, smell, texture.
Good meats have very little odor. Smell the meat. It should not have a thin slimy coat and color should be rich and natural (not dark,) it should be firm to the touch and not soft mushy. -

oh man goood eats .. never freeze ribs because its going to be harder to get the bone taste from it
so since you had nothing to do with it .. rinse down in vinegar (its close to skin and this helps get off any hair that might have gotten left on) .. cut off any fat once thawed ..
roasts & steaks: rinse with vinegar .. you can marinade in milk .. cook in crockpot with potatoes & veg
misc: if the deer ran, and they had to track it – it will have an adreneline rush which does change the taste and smell of the meat (even after freezing)
if you thaw in water or milk it will help with the taste if its too wild ..
personally i wash down meat with vinegar first, rinse well.

We have friends who hunt and process their own and will generously give us some of the deerburger and sausage they make with it. Have also given us a roast some time ago and I never detected a gamey taste. I always thought it has something to do with the way they processed it and Hslinks just confirmed my theory.
(years ago DH brougt some home that the guys cooked at work and I didn’t care for it at all, definite gamey taste)
you are so right, not something you can just buy at your local store,
do you made jerky with it???? I tasted some this couple made and it was sooooo good.
They also hunt hog and just gave us some hog ribs and suggested we cook them in the smoker. I can hardly wait to try that.
