COOKING TIPS

In the kitchen.

1Due to its leanness, venison cooks quickly and can dry out. Cook to rare or medium-rare (130-135°F / 54-57°C) for the best texture.
2Marinating the steaks for at least 30 minutes in an acidic base like wine, buttermilk, or vinegar can help tenderize the meat and add moisture.
3Sear the steaks over high heat to create a flavorful crust, then reduce the heat to finish cooking without overdoing it.
4Always let cooked venison rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh.

Refrigerate fresh venison steaks immediately at 40°F (4°C) or below and cook within 2-3 days.
For longer storage, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freezer paper or vacuum-seal, and freeze at 0°F (-18°C) for up to 12 months for optimal quality.
