How To Prepare Venison So It Doesn’t Have A Gamey Taste

By Derrick R. Stallings

To make venison taste less gamey, the most effective method is to marinate the meat in an acidic solution like vinegar, citrus juice, or buttermilk, which helps break down the muscle fibers and reduce the strong wild flavor; you can also try soaking the meat in milk overnight to further mitigate the gamey taste. 

Key points to remember:

• Acidic marinades:Use marinades containing vinegar, lemon juice, or orange juice to neutralize the gamey taste. 
• Soaking in milk:Soaking venison in milk for several hours or overnight can also help remove some of the strong flavor. 
• Proper field dressing:To minimize gamey taste from the start, ensure a clean kill and quickly remove the organs after hunting in cold weather. 
• Trim excess fat:Remove any visible fat and silver skin as these can contribute to a stronger gamey flavor. 
• Cooking method:Consider cooking venison to a medium-rare doneness to prevent overcooking which can exacerbate the gamey taste.
