Sweet and Sour Venison Stew- Deer Meat Recipes

Venison is a lean, dark red meat that is very high in iron and zinc, giving it a distinct flavor and texture. Wild venison, such as the White Tail deer, tends to have a stronger, slightly “gamey” flavor, while most domesticated breeds are much milder. Venison is considered a healthful meat with much less saturated fat than beef. Because it lacks fat, venison should be cooked as you would veal; quick grilling, sautéing, and broiling are typical methods.

Venison tends to have a finer texture and is leaner than comparable cuts of beef. However, like beef, leaner cuts can be tougher as well.

Venison is higher in moisture, similar in protein and lower in calories, cholesterol and fat than most cuts of grain-fed beef, pork, or lamb. Venison has enjoyed a rise in popularity in recent years, owing to the meat's lower fat content. It can often be obtained at less cost than beef by hunting (in some areas a doe license can cost as little as a few dollars); many families use it as a one to one substitute for beef, especially in the United States mid-south, Midwest, Mississippi Valley and Appalachia. In many areas, this increased demand has led to a rise in the number of deer farms.
