What to do with Venison?

[Twitchin Kitten]

So, slow cooking it will make a well done steak if you're making steaks. Same for roasts.

I don't make venison, I think I made it once a long time ago.
Soaking in cold salted water I see how it could remove the gamey flavor. You wouldn't really need to trim the fat either because the salt will leech out that flavor from the fat and it will also reduce some of it with the leeching.

Is it ever eaten rare or must it be cooked well?

I like my steaks practically screaming on my plate and found that cooking meat on a hot flat pan instead of the grill gives me the best steak on the planet. (I'll have to get my steak recipe on here)

Roasts too - If I make a roast beef, I make it rare.
