Red Deer Venison Striploin

Our Venison/Deer meat is from delicate young animal and should be treated in accordance to that. Below are few cooking tips:

It’s lean, don’t over cook it

​Venison is very low in fat and is best served medium-rare. This equates to an internal temperature of 57°C/135°F if you’re using a meat thermometer.

​Don’t cook cold

​Bring the meat to room temperature before cooking it.

​Oil the meat, not the pan

​When grilling, barbecuing or pan-frying steaks, first brush each side of the meat with a little oil, before searing for one minute each side per cm thickness.

​Roasting — salt plus heat equals crispy & delicious

​When roasting larger cuts, first sear all sides of the meat to seal in the juices. To achieve a medium-rare roast, cook at 180°C/350°F for 15 minutes per 500g.

​Keep stir-fry moving

​Venison stir-fry only takes a couple of minutes cooking on a high heat — just remember to keep the meat moving in the pan or wok to avoid over-cooking.

​

​Rest it

​After cooking, let your venison rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to evenly disperse.

​Venisons best friends are…

​Venison works well with lots of interesting ingredients including anchovies, bacon, celeriac, mushrooms, thyme and tomatoes. But possibly not all in the one dish.
