About Game meat, deer, raw

Venison is the meat of deer, one of the oldest foods humans have eaten and still a favorite among hunters and game-lovers. It has a deep, slightly earthy flavor that reflects the animal's wild, varied diet, and a dark color that signals just how lean and iron-rich it is.

At around 120 calories per 100 grams, venison is exceptionally lean — far lower in fat than beef — yet packed with protein, iron, zinc, B12 and niacin. That same leanness is its main cooking challenge: with almost no marbling, it dries out and toughens quickly over high heat.

Cooks get the best from venison by searing the tender cuts to no more than medium-rare and braising the tougher ones low and slow, often with added fat. Its bold flavor stands up well to juniper, red wine and robust herbs.
