I'm not a chef, never even cooked venison before until now. Thanks for sharing the great tips and your recipe, I ended up using Italian dressing and using your cooking advice, came out perfect. Especially cooking the meat when its at room temperature and not cold. What lovely color. Thanks and best regards.
A tiny bit overcooked for me Scott, but spot on. I usually sneak a little garlic in with the backstraps and make a pan sauce. Absolutely best with fresh venison. Fresh like shot it at 8 AM and eating backstrap or true tenderloin for an early lunch. YUM!!!!
Scott, I love this recipe. In the States, juniper is not used a lot. This is the first and only dish I've used it in. What a wonderful new taste treat, and as you say, perfect for venison. I use a bit more mashed juniper than shown by you. On my electric cook top stove I move the pan off the heat all together once I have the proper char and baste with butter so that the butter does not go brown or burn. I go to Texas and use this for the Axis deer I harvest there. This also works for the local Pennsylvania whitetail. I have your books and enjoy them much also. Always enjoy your shows, thank you.
John Smith yet another stupid comment “waste of meat”. Bullshit I did this and it was some of the best steaks I’ve had. Just because you do it on the grill doesn’t make it the best.
I just stumbled across your channel and absolutely loved this video. Here in the USA, at least in the south we pan fry and pan sear our venison. I look forward to checking out your other videos.
Really looking delicious. As a hunter myself, will try this definitely. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. Hans Strydom. Sandton. South Africa
Great channel and great vids. We kill 4-6 whitetail per year here in the U.S. and the butchering and cooking vids for venison will be particularly helpful. Thank you for all your time. Regards, Vincent.
I love this guy. Greeting from the American northwest!!! I've got some whitetail backstrap medallions we cook just like this except with creole seasoning instead of juniper.Always love his videos plus we're probably distant cousins. My last name is Rea( pronounced Ray)
I truly appreciate this video. To be honest I had given up on making anything but sausage out of wild game. It is typical hard and chewy. After watching this video i'm looking forward to cooking some venison.
Hie Scott! Love your game themed videos and look forward to every new video you upload! I also find your butchery videos very interesting!! Keep up the good work!! I love game meat, so keep them game recipie videos rolling! Greetings from Austria and have a good one👏👏
Hi Scott I’ve only just now put two venison fillets in the fridge for dinner and scored your recipe first up for the cooking, so here goes tonight Geoff 🇦🇺OZ
I like my meat about medium rare, not too bloody but still kinda pink in the center. is there a good way to tell when it's at that level without a thermometer?
I envy you. I know all about fish but when it comes to venison and other wild life I am lost. If i can get my hands on some venison i will try this thx for educating us.
Hi Scott from here in the USA.I have cook a few of your dishes and all have been great! A friend just gave me 2 hind quarters and a back strap off a white tail so I will be trying this and the ground deer one too.Thanks for the vids
Stop excusing your deer. Here in Texas we have plenty about the size of large dogs due to limited forage. Too many people exaggerate the size, but they are getting bigger every year as we actively manage the population. Now you get up into Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Illinois, Iowa and you do get big deer since they have a rich and abundant forage. So your deer are as good as any!
Obviously bernando you don't know how to handle a rutting bucks meat properly. I'm eating a thick juicy tasty steak off a buck in rut right this very moment. Remove all the glands inside the meat. Let it age. Trim all that fat off. Remove the silver skin. And it's no different then any other meat. Getting the blood out is the most essential and crucial part. And no I don't live in an apartment and I've butchered over a couple hundred or more deer in my life.
Hi Scott. First time for me cooking venison and it turned out perfect! Thanks for the detailed info and the pan juices were mopped up with a piece of bread. Thanks again!!!
Shot a Roe deer last saturday on my first hunt ever. Gonna try butchering it according to your guide and i am definitely gonna try this venison steak method when the meat is ready!
Thanks! ive been shooting in a military surplus club for some years before and i got a small collection going on. I actually got my hunting licence( In Denmark) several years ago but i didnt really use it until now.
Hi Scott, I'm cooking a fillet from a fallow deer, but don't see any instructions here. I'm told it can be eaten raw, just like sushi. I'm guessing they say that to mean don't overcook it. It's so small, it would be easy to overdo. Any helpful hints on either pan frying it or cooking it in the oven? I like it rare. Thanks.
Old vid but this season my partner scored a total of 3 deer and one elk so im cooking a lot of meat . 1 deer in Calif. and a doe and buck plus the elk out of state. Once i mix up the maranade with the oil, i use olive, i bag up the meat and leave it over night in the fridge. The meat is so lean it needs the oil. Other then that i fry it about the same. Of course ive got seasoned cast iron pans. I also sear it then use the BBQ. Im now rethinking the over night maranade?
Here in NY we have a delicacy called 'speides' (pron. speedys), which originated in Binghamton. These can be made with venison but it has to be marinated in red wine for 5-7 days to tenderize if you use stew meat. use a cheap red like Boone's Farm or Thunderbird.
Scott, man I love your videos, I'm one of your American cousins, I either cut my backstraps like this, or cross ways like a filet mignon, you keep referring to your back straps as tiny, but this is a case where size really doesn't matter lol thank you so much, P.s. I also cook them either on a grill, or in cast iron. On the grill, I bacon wrap them
Love your vids Scott. I'm inspired to try a few of your recipes this xmas. I reckon there's a TV deal in there somewhere. You certainly knock some celebrity chefs into a cocked hat.
superb Scott, there is no better meat than Muntjac, we eat loads of it, the kids love it, loin steaks, whole saddle roasted or rolled haunch, and all the tatty bits go into sausages and burgers, the only thing I don't like about munty is the bloody skin takes some getting off compared to the other deer species, love all your videos, keep up the good work Scott
my friend gave me a bunch of fresh deer meat including half of a back strap. I watched several videos on cooking venison and tonight I'm going to try your way
I have never in my life had steak and mustard! Steak and onions, steak and mushrooms, steak and potatoes, steak and ketchup even, but never mustard - I didn't even know that was a thing LOL, I'll have to give it a go, thanks for the video!
I know the whole mustard with steak thing is getting a lot of Americans here a little grossed out, but I tried some homemade mustard with beef steak and it actually goes together really well.
Scott. Dude, I've watched pretty much all your vids and I have to tell you, you got it wrong in this vid.......when you said you're "almost" a pro. I'm here to tell us, you are! Just cooked pretty much the same cuts, pretty much the same way, and......friggen DAMN!! That was by far the best dish I've had in a month or so. I butchered your way and cooked it your way. You, my friend, are a g damn pro!
As before my mouth continues to water while watching your videos. I agree with the other poster about the TV deal. I'm hooked... Keep up the good work. By the way don't let 'em fool ya, not all deer in the USA are large. My greyhound 's size equals many of the does here in the deep southeast of the USA. Best
Hi 👋 Scott..Love your show.Thanking you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us . I have ordered the Juniper berries for my venison steaks and was wondering if it is compatible with Rosemary with or without. I’m going to try your rack of venison this fall and could you share please your recipe for the dressing? T U👍🦌🦌
I just cooked my first venison steak, was worried I'd have to cook it the whole way through like with wild boar so I slapped it in the George Foreman for like 8 minutes and it was dry and shit. Definitely gonna try this method next time.
I'm not a chef, never even cooked venison before until now. Thanks for sharing the great tips and your recipe, I ended up using Italian dressing and using your cooking advice, came out perfect.

agree, wonderful on fresh harvest deer

...I TRIED THIS METHOD, MY VENISON STEAK TURNED OUT ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, THANKS SCOTT... ;) 2 THUMBS UP..!
Brother if I ever bump into you I getting you a well seasoned cast iron pan.
Damn right. And a lot more butter!
Yeah or a fuckn grill. What a waste of meat.
mosey1980 stupid comment I did it like this and they turned out fantastic
John Smith yet another stupid comment “waste of meat”. Bullshit I did this and it was some of the best steaks I’ve had. Just because you do it on the grill doesn’t make it the best.
Give him a break he's from uk
OMG!!! I cooked venison steak for the first time and went step by step and it turn out AMAZING!!! I wish I could post my pics on here. THANK YOU SCOTT
I just stumbled across your channel and absolutely loved this video. Here in the USA, at least in the south we pan fry and pan sear our venison. I look forward to checking out your other videos.
What state are you in? NC here.
Really looking delicious. As a hunter myself, will try this definitely. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. Hans Strydom. Sandton. South Africa
From the butcher block to the frying pan, This guy is an artist...
Followed all your instructions today, for the first time ever I had perfect venison steak. Thanks.
I’ve done this to your instructions once. Brilliant so I’m on my way today for my next try. Thank you.
Great channel and great vids. We kill 4-6 whitetail per year here in the U.S. and the butchering and cooking vids for venison will be particularly helpful. Thank you for all your time. Regards, Vincent.
There lots of videos about how to cook venison steak but yours is the best one by far, especially with absolute funny speech :)
That looks so good I was ready to wrestle the dog for that last piece. Nice work Scott,
That is one lucky pooch,believe me,she eats like a queen,cheers.Scott
Thank you this was really helpful it cooking venison later today and I’m really excited
Well, you damn well got the butter right. Scott, I must ask why you use a teflon pan instead of cast iron.
This is trully a master at work....I can watch this all night long. Thank you ....
I love this guy. Greeting from the American northwest!!! I've got some whitetail backstrap medallions we cook just like this except with creole seasoning instead of
juniper.Always love his videos plus we're probably distant cousins. My last name

reakeith Never,thats brilliant,we may well be ,do me a favour,post me a whitetail deer o cousin of mine,all the best.Scott
I truly appreciate this video. To be honest I had given up on making anything but sausage out of wild game. It is typical hard and chewy. After watching this video i'm looking forward to cooking some venison.
Well? It's been five years, tried it yet? Lol
😮You have one of the best TH-cam channels. 👍🏻🇦🇺
I just followed your instructions on cooking venison steaks and all I can say is THANK YOU!!! They came out delicious, juicy and tender. Great job!
+Boobalopbop uo have a nice nose.
Hie Scott! Love your game themed videos and look forward to every new video you upload! I also find your butchery videos very interesting!! Keep up the good work!! I love game meat, so keep them game recipie videos rolling! Greetings from Austria and have a good one👏👏
same to you my friend. All the best. Scott
Nicely done. Pan drippings with fall mushrooms? Hen of the woods? Yes.
Some of the best deer steak ever! I’ve used this recipe 3 times and each time it’s delicious
Hi Scott
I’ve only just now put two venison fillets in the fridge for dinner and scored your recipe first up for the cooking, so here goes tonight Geoff 🇦🇺OZ
Brilliant, always come back to this video before cooking Venison, taste buds already salivating in anticipation Scott.
Another great video. Keep up the great work buddy!
Cheers Adam,all the best,Scott
Cheers Scott will be using this method tomorrow night
Just got through eating white tail from this recipe. It was excellent. Thanks for the video. It is going into my favorites for future reference.
This looks mouth watering! I'm gonna try it. Very intrigued that you used juniper berries.
Scott, got to get yourself some cast iron pans. Stick them in the oven, barby, fantastic. Love your genious
+pfaffman100 genius

Screw the delicate haters (see below). You have restored the culinary heart of Western Civilization. Thank you my friend!
I like my meat about medium rare, not too bloody but still kinda pink in the center. is there a good way to tell when it's at that level without a thermometer?
Great video, Scott. Personally, I like my venison a tad rarer, but I'd love to have been there with you, sharing the venison sandwich.
I envy you. I know all about fish but when it comes to venison and other wild life I am lost. If i can get my hands on some venison i will try this thx for educating us.
Greetings from Vankleek Hill, Ontario, Canada...Love your videos..very informative and down to earth info......keep up the great work...cheers !!!
Hi Scott from here in the USA.I have cook a few of your dishes and all have been great! A friend just gave me 2 hind quarters and a back strap off a white tail so I will be trying this and the ground deer one too.Thanks for the vids
looks delicious! we usually grill our venison here in pennsylvania but i am going to give this method a try.
I'm cooking some very thick pork chops tonight and I'm going to use this technique.
God, that looks scrumptious!
Stop excusing your deer. Here in Texas we have plenty about the size of large dogs due to limited forage. Too many people exaggerate the size, but they are getting bigger every year as we actively manage the population. Now you get up into Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Illinois, Iowa and you do get big deer since they have a rich and abundant forage. So your deer are as good as any!
It's not the size of the deer it's how you treat your meat
Bernando Turner dude it’s a fucking joke lol
Obviously bernando you don't know how to handle a rutting bucks meat properly. I'm eating a thick juicy tasty steak off a buck in rut right this very moment. Remove all the glands inside the meat.

Though this has been awhile,.you really did a good job,.u made my mouth water,.
Hi Scott. First time for me cooking venison and it turned out perfect! Thanks for the detailed info and the pan juices were mopped up with a piece of bread. Thanks again!!!
Looks great. I do most of that but I picked up a few great ideas from your video. I have a few you might like too.
Shot a Roe deer last saturday on my first hunt ever. Gonna try butchering it according to your guide and i am definitely gonna try this venison steak method when the meat is ready!
+Christian Sternsdorf Its lots of fun yes?
Yes it is! im definitely hooked and im very prepared for the buck season already.
+Christian Sternsdorf have fun! Do you have your own rifle?
Thanks! ive been shooting in a military surplus club for some years before and i got a small collection going on. I actually got my hunting licence( In Denmark) several years ago but i didnt really use it until now.

Im now rethinking the over night maranade?
TheScottProgect, That looks LICIOUS!!!! Has anyone had BlackBerry marinade lamb?
Beautiful, delicious and a healthy meal. I will definitely try this
Just liked #3k. Love when you cook wild meats! I wish you the best year brother.
looks lovely. thanks so much for your efforts on this channel.
I followed this step by step last night on a roe filet i was worried I would not do justice, came out top notch thanks scott
Bro, I just cooked a wild game venison steak as you directed and it's legit the juiciest steak I've ever eaten. Unbelievable. Thank you !

Love your vids Scott. I'm inspired to try a few of your recipes this xmas.
I reckon there's a TV deal in there somewhere. You certainly knock some celebrity chefs into a cocked hat.
Thanks for your kind words,im waiting for the call,if it ever comes ill let you know,all the best.Scott

Nice job cooking up the venison. Looks great thanks Ron.
Did it. Loved it. Thanks for the lesson.
Cheers mate, subbed, this is my xmas meal today, done your way! Many thanks
Looks yummy! What should serve to go with it to have a full dinner?
superb Scott, there is no better meat than Muntjac, we eat loads of it, the kids love it, loin steaks, whole saddle roasted or rolled haunch, and all the tatty bits go into sausages and burgers, the only thing I don't like about munty is the bloody skin takes some getting off compared to the other deer species, love all your videos, keep up the good work Scott
Great videos, love the wild game. If you're ever on my side of the pond you'll have to come hunt and butcher up a back country elk. Good eats.
What brand of salt is that, nice traveling case for camping
Thanks never knew how to do a proper pan fry always did BBQ so thanks for the lesson.
Bloody brilliant video. Following your instructions I got it perfect
my friend gave me a bunch of fresh deer meat including half of a back strap. I watched several videos on cooking venison and tonight I'm going to try your way
How thick do you cut your steaks from blackstrap?
Cutting some when I get home.
That was great. I watched you butcher it then cook it. Made me hungry. Good job
my mouth was watering. nicely done
I have never in my life had steak and mustard! Steak and onions, steak and mushrooms, steak and potatoes, steak and ketchup even, but never mustard - I didn't even know that was a thing LOL, I'll have to give it a go, thanks for the video!
You are such a Pro. My go-to from the states on anything Meat... Thank you so much.
Nice one .No silly zig zag camera work.Very educational.....
Awesome vid as usual scott, wish we had some muntjak here in deepest darkest west wales, keep up the good work mate!
Thanks for the vid Scott. Going to try that on some black tail steaks. Hi from Vancouver Island Canada
beautifully done! hope one day to try this on my own catch. thanks for the video
jesse martone *kill
Awesome mate great video on steak... so many people stuff this up. Everything you did here works so well on a rump steak too
made it tonight absoloutly amasing cheers , made mine with pepper salt and red chilli with some stornoway black pudding and haggis 😎😎😎
I love cooking back strap it is like fillet Mignon. Looks yummy.
Scott, great video! You are making me hungry sir!
I know the whole mustard with steak thing is getting a lot of Americans here a little grossed out, but I tried some homemade mustard with beef steak and it actually goes together really well.
Scott.
Dude, I've watched pretty much all your vids and I have to tell you, you got it wrong in this vid.......when you said you're "almost" a pro. I'm here to tell us, you are!
Just cooked pretty much the same cuts, pretty much the same way, and......friggen DAMN!! That was by far the best dish I've had in a month or so.
I butchered your way and cooked it your way. You, my friend, are a g damn pro!
I damn near spit my beer, "I'm almost a professional". 😆😎🤙
Just cooked this recipe! Great job, thanks brother
RedEyed Jack Cheers dude,its nice to have feed back like this,all the best .Scott
Is it possible for you to get a white tail at all? Is it even logistically possible for a fan to send you one for a video?
Idk why this came up on my feed, but now i've gotta try some venison. What can u compare the taste to? And would Tapatio sauce ruin the experience?
Looks really good. I would love to taste it. Some of it is overcooked, but I would love to taste the medium rare pieces.
My next culinary project is to try your Toad In The Hole recipe using venison sausage and bacon grease instead of traditional British Drippings.
perfectly cooked per directions...yummmy
As before my mouth continues to water while watching your videos. I agree with the other poster about the TV deal. I'm hooked... Keep up the good work. By the way don't let 'em fool ya, not all deer in the USA are large. My greyhound 's size equals many of the does here in the deep southeast of the USA. Best

Sauteed onions mushrooms garlic goes well with venison in the am.
I'm going to be doing this in the next day or two. Looking forward to it.
Another great video! Well done friend.
Thanks Drew,what a corker,many thanks.Scott
Tried this tonight on some backstraps from a whitetail doe I killed. Awesome! love your channel!
Very nice lesson, thanks.
I just cooked my first venison steak, was worried I'd have to cook it the whole way through like with wild boar so I slapped it in the George Foreman for like 8 minutes and it was dry and shit. Definitely gonna try this method next time.
Bloody marvellous. Thanks for your effort .
