Zak!! What a great comment. I can picture your family sitting at the table with you. Thank you for letting us be a part of your family dinner.

I don’t have any venison recipes but I can pass along a tip. Marinate the meat, any game meat, in buttermilk overnight to eliminate the gamey flavor. The same is true for catfish which can have a muddy flavor that buttermilk will eliminate. Catfish fillet only needs 30 minutes to an hour in the marinade.

I wish you the best for you and your family. Hope to hear from you again.

The meat was so tender it literally fell off the fork. I improvised the 4-1-1 though, added more garlic powder since were garlic fans here and don’t have vampire problems either :D.. Served it up to my Yankee family (I’m from Texas) with some fried okra, mashed potatoes (all fresh) and a side of my all time favorite,,,butter beans 😛 with corn bread for swabbing. Not to hard to teach a yankee to eat southern cuisine when ya come around the corner and everyone is sitting down, napkins tucked in with forks in hand lol :). Some of my fondest memories of growing up in Arkansas after the divorce was waking up in the morning to the smell of Grandma cooking away in the kitchen , getting everything put together for supper. If you happen to have some deer steak recipes along with the onion &/or mushroom gravy, please post it :P. I’m sold on these recipes, easy to make, very few ingredients, tastes great, even the ltl kids ate everything, which is a miracle since they’re so finicky.

Kathie,

I’ve use this same method for pork roasts, too. So glad you found something you like! 🙂

May,

I use chuck roasts. Sometimes they are packaged as California roasts.

Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

Sandra,
I can only imagine how stressful things must be for you dealing with all the weather related stuff. I hope things get straightened out soon. Take care.

It’s hot here right now to us and also we dont have AC, most of us don’t living right here near the ocean… I like this recipe because it’s simple and not many ingredients!! yay! I will cook this tonite when I get home from work, that is if I get to leave on time tonite. This east coast weather is hard on the flying public and it’s my job to help them get home as quickly and seamless as possible.

Sandra,

I hope it turns out for you! I like braising on top of the stove this time of year. It doesn’t heat up the kitchen as much as having the oven turned on. Of course, with your perfect weather, that might not be an issue for you!

Linda,

I bet you treasure that magic pot! I know I sure would. Thank you so much for reading and commenting!

I always go for Chuck and cook it in Grandma’s magic pot, a very old hammered-metal Dutch oven that’s perfect for stovetop. The pot has never, ever ruined a roast!
Love your blog, Jackie!

Michele,

I keep the 4-1-1 seasoning on my work space and use it ALL the time. I use it on every type of protein except dairy, eggs and seafood. it’s also the best seasoning for roasting vegetables. Thank you so much for reading and commenting!

I really love a good braised roast and haven’t had one for a long time! And I’ll definitely make up a batch of your 4-1-1 seasoning today! Thanks 🙂

Terri,

It’s my blend of 4 parts kosher salt/ 1 part ground black pepper/ 1 part garlic powder (not garlic salt)
