A kind fellow I was doing a job for recently, asked me (out of the blue) if I liked venison. I said 'sure, I've had it before'. He asked me to wait a sec and brought out a bag with several venison steaks, a roast and some ground venison for me. Great! But I've never cooked it before.
Is there anything special I need to do when cooking venison? I think I've read about soaking it in salt water or something... but I don't see why that would be necessary? Does it really taste that funky if you don't do something to 'get the wild flavor out' or whatever the complaint is supposed to be?
Any ideas for preparing a venison roast? I guess it would be the same as beef? I'm pretty clueless here. Thanks for feedback.
