I like fried anything from deer........back straps any way you and cook them, same with tenderloins..........I dont care for GRILLED hams (steaks)....fried yes.
From now on, I will save the tenderloins and back straps, whole, to grill or fry......and the rest gets cut into 1" cubes, and pressure canned. 10lb for 90min 1tblsp salt (garlic. black pepper, whatever else you want to add. After that, chili, tacos, fried, favorite is just open a jar, heat it in a sauce pan, make some white rice, and spoon it over top of it like stewed beef....philly cheese steaks, BBQ..............best thing about pressure canning is not only does it taste good, it is INSTANT....just open it up, heat it up however you want and serve. and like you said. TENDER. I'll take canned deer anyday. I guess what I should have said earlier is I prefer a grilled beef steak over grilled deer steak.....same with burger, even with beef fat mixed. Otherwise Im good with deer any other way.
