Tips For Cooking Farm-Raised Venison

Farm-raised venison is easy to prepare and gives consistently delicious results provided some simple guidelines are followed:

• Always preheat the oven, skillet, grill or barbecue before cooking farm-raised venison.
• Brush with oil before pan-frying or grilling to allow it to brown more readily and retain its natural juices.
• Cook it quickly, at high heat to prevent it from drying out.
• After roasting, pan-frying or grilling farm-raised venison, cover it with foil and rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
• By its nature, farm-raised venison is tender and delicately flavored. Marinate prime cuts only for the sake of variety -- it is not necessary.
• Venison is a dense meat: there is lots of goodness in a small portion.
