Does anyone have a good deer recipe?

My brother-in-law wants me to cook some deer meat for him for Thanksgiving. I’m having Turkey and other traditional foods,but he asked me because he has always enjoyed my cooking. I cooked duck for him once and he loved it, so I think he assumes I’ll do a good job with the deer. I’ve never cooked deer before and need some suggestions. Thanks!

    Deer meat is known as Venison . It can be dry and tough so it is best cooked after it has been marinated and left in the fridge over night.

    treat your venison like a really lean cut of beef,u can make it just like any other cut of meat. I find cooking it slow is best so it doesn’t dry out.it’s wonderful.

    What kind of deer do you have? steaks, tenderloin, roast, ground?

    Remember to soak in salt water beforehand.

    Brown Sugar venison
    thin strips of venison
    oil
    salt and pepper, to your taste.
    brown sugar
    butter

    For a good tasting venison, slice of some thin strips of venison. Heat a little oil in a frying pan. Very little.put in strips of venison. Do not season yet.. Brown on one side. Turn over and add a little butter. Turn fire down..sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, to your taste. Now a little brown sugar. And let it melt on meat, turn and do the same on the other side with little brown sugar.. Do not let it cook to long, or the brown sugar will turn the meat like candy.
