The dollar (breakfast) steaks are what made me want to hunt deer this year. I have very fond memories of deer steak for breakfast on Christmas morning. My mother would make biscuits and gravy and dollar steaks so that we could spend the rest of the day just hanging out as a family. We never had a big Christmas dinner, but we ate like kings for breakfast.
I am considering tanning the deer hides but am a little intimidated. I tried tanning a coyote hide once and I think I could have done it but Hubby got tired of it hanging around in the garage and tossed it. I think the buckskin would be a little easier than trying to tan a fur. Am I crazy for trying this?
My favorite way to cook venison is to cut it in pieces the size of one or two fingers (much like chicken fingers) and soak it in zesty Italian dressing overnight. Then roll in flower and deep fry.
ReplyDeleteAs far as tanning, I have tried it a few times but with little success. I have a hard time making it supple.
Worchestershire is basically a spicy soy sauce. So, you might substitute that if you like the salty soy flavor without the spice. Bourbon is always good in a marinade too. I tend to prefer olive oil with dry spices including salt, pepper, garlic powder and either basil or oregano depending on my mood.
