Deer-ly Delicious • Cooking tips from Tim Love

  • Venison’s a very lean meat, so primal cuts such as the loin/tenderloin are best cooked over a fire for a very short time.
  • When processing venison, it’s always good to age it for at least 21 days to allow the meat to relax.
  • The flavor of the venison will improve dramatically if the animal is processed as quickly as possible after it’s harvested.
  • Venison likes really bold flavors: cumin, chilies and garlic, and pungent finishes like citrus.
