About Deer (venison), sitka, raw (Alaska Native)

Venison is the meat of deer, lean game prized for its deep, rich, savory flavor and dark red color. Once strictly wild-hunted, much venison is now farmed, giving a milder, more consistent taste than wild deer, whose flavor reflects its forage. Venison is exceptionally lean, very high in protein and iron, with vitamin B12, zinc, niacin, and riboflavin, and far less fat than beef, making it a heart-smart red meat.

Its leanness is also its challenge: tender cuts like loin, backstrap, and tenderloin are best cooked quickly to a rosy rare or medium-rare and rested, since overcooking turns them dry and livery, while tougher shoulder and leg are braised or stewed low and slow, and trim is ground for burgers, sausage, and chili or cured into jerky. A little added fat keeps it moist. Choose firm, deep-red meat with a clean smell, and store venison well chilled, using fresh cuts within a few days or freezing them, where it keeps for months.
