Thaw frozen game meat completely in the refrigerator. Thawing at room temperature enhances bacterial growth.

Trim away fat before cooking. Wild game fat tends to become rancid and this contributes to gamey flavor.

Do not over cook steaks, venison is very lean and over cooking will make the venison dry and tough.

Have your venison steaks tenderized, this will change the texture of the meat. It makes a great minute steak and a awesome chicken fried steak.
