Indoor BBQ Deer Recipes - Sent to me by Devo...
One hind quarter or shoulder roast
1 lb of bacon
Garlic or Garlic Salt
Bottle of favorite BBQ Sauce
Salt & Pepper

Remove as much of the viscera as possible from the roast. Coat her roast well in pepper, garlic, and Salt. Line a deep baking pan 3-4 times in aluminum foil, alternating the layers so that the foil is laying in a different direction each time. Line the bottom of the foil pan with bacon strips. Lay the Roast on top of the bacon and then cover the remainder of the roast in a layer of bacon. Wrap all of the layers of foil tightly around the roast being careful to completely cover the roast several times. Bake the roast on 300 degrees for one hour. Lower the oven to 200 degrees or less at let the roast cook overnight or at least 6 hours. In the morning, remove the roast and carefuuly open the foil. Do not tear the foil if at all possible. The meat should literally fall off the bone when a bone is pulled or shook. With a heavy fork, stir up all of the meat and bacon together. Pour most of the BBQ sauce into the meat, continuing to stir the sauce in and the meat into small strands. Prior to serving, re-heat the meat in an oven for 1 hour at 300 degrees. Serve with Hamburger Buns. Serves 20.

Venison Parmagaina - Sent by Bluebonnet
List of ingredents:
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 lbs deer (backstrap best but regular steaks work)
Bread crumbs
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
Italian seasoning
Thyme
Eggs
Olive or vege oil
Morzarella
Parmesean
Butter
Sauce

For the sauce you can used jarred marinara sauce for convenience or make a sauce.
Here's my sauce:
2 tblspoons olive oil
2 minced garlic cloves
1 small onion chopped
1 16ounce can stewed tomatoes
1 tablspoon sugar
2 teaspoons basil
1 tsp. oreganeo
1 1/2 tsp. salt and italian seasoning.
Saute' onion and garlic in hot oil till tender (don't burn the garlic). add remaining ingredents and simmer 20 min till thickened or till ready to use.
Of course, you have to taste test and adjust to your liking. Okay. Now, take the deer and pound thin with flat of meat mallet. ( if you don't have one use the bottom of a strong glass, beer mugs work great.) Sprinkle with some garlic powder and fresh ground pepper. Set aside.

1). Combine 2 cups bread crumbs, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. fresh ground pepper, 1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. italian seasoning, and 1/2 tsp. thyme in a flat plate ( pie pans are good for this).
2). Beat 2 eggs in another pie pan.
3). Dip steaks in egg then bread crumbs. repeat. ( you may have to make up more bread crumbs and egg mixture to do it all...I never seem to have enough)
4). In large skillet heat 3 tblspoons butter and 2 tblspoon olive oil ( vege oil will work).
5). Fry deer steaks till browned to desired color on both sides. While doing this heat broiler.
6). Place steaks in baking pan(lightly oiled) big enough to set steaks in single layer.
7). Spoon a small amount of the sauce over each steak (enough to cover).
8). Place a slice of mozzerella on each piece and sprinkle with parmesean cheese.
9). Place under broiler till cheese melts and is lightly browned.
Heat the remaining sauce ( if any) to serve wsith it.
Well, if/and/or when you try this..have a glass of chianta with it and ENJOY!!

Take butterfly steak and put them in a bag with flour. Fry them in butter at low to medium heat and use garlic, salt and pepper. Put a cover on em too. When you see the juices coming up to the top, flip em over and put more garlic on em. When the juices start to come thru the top again, take them off and put them in tin foil and seal it. The will stay warm and you can eat them in about 15 minutes. Most people over cook venison an it get tough as hell. Try the garlic though! It's kick ass on venison!

Another thing I like to do is when I make baked potatos, I make bunch extra and through them in the frig. In the morning (or whenever), they make great fried potatos. They are already cooked so just slice them and fry em with onions in butter. When you bake them, wrap each one in tin foil.

Greek Tenderloin
Got this from a chef in Binghamton NY - I experimented and of course have no precise measurements ( that's how my grandmother from Sicily taught me)
need:
venison tenderloin - Whole ( cut in half , third depends on size)
butter
raw onion
garlic
lemon juice
lemon
parsley

Grill or broil tenderloin to taste ( recommend if you like medium cook medium rare, well cook medium well). Take stick of butter and melt over low heat. Slice onion thin and cook in butter with garlic
(To taste!!- experimentation is key with this). Add lemon juice (to taste) when onions and garlic are cooked well and remove heat Slice lemon thin.
Preheat oven to 350. When tenderloin is done being grilled put in a covered dish and pour butter mixture over meat. Cook to desired level. Serve sliced. With butter mixture.
I recommend that you ensure that the lemon can be tasted in that butter base, and start out real light on the garlic, I've found that I cook it on the grill till it's medium rare and cook to medium ( pink in center).

This recipe sent in by Tom Bartolone
I make a venison stew that is simple to make and tastes great. I go to my local grocery store and buy a packet of McCormick Beef Stew mix. It's a package of stew seasonings. Follow the directions on the back of the package using venison instead of beef. I add the vegetables listed on the back plus include some other favorites. (mushrooms, string beans, etc.) I add just a touch of Red and White pepper for a hotter flavor. The meal takes about 2 hours.
 
 
Taco Soup - Sent in by Dale Connally
2 lbs. ground beef (venison ;-); salt, pepper, and garlic to taste
1 onion, chopped
1 pkg. frozen corn
2 cans (14 oz.) stewed tomatoes
2 cans pinto beans
1 can hominy
1 can Rotel tomatoes/chilis
1 pkg. taco seasoning
1 pkg. ranch dressing mix
Brown meat and saute onions and garlic with salt and pepper added. Drain. Meanwhile, put remaining ingredients in crock pot turned to high. Add meat mixture. Stir. When soup mixture is hot, turn crock pot control to automatic setting (low) Cook for several hours. Ingredients and seasonings may be varied to taste. Different kinds of beans especially fun. Dipping flour tortillas or corn chips or adding cheese on top are also tasty options.
 
Another special from Dale
Take a chilled backstrap left in large (I just cut a full backstrap into 4 pieces) filets. Poke a hole down longways to create a hollow cavity in the meat. Cook some chorizo (Mexican sausage) and sauteed chopped onions. Stuff this mix into the holes of the venison. Salt and pepper the outside (I used Cajun salt) and roll in the chorizo crumbs. Grill until medium/med rare.
Yummy!!

From: Mike N.D
 Having worked under a couple of some fine chefs, Ive come to some pretty good recipes for venison.
# one pound of venison loin backstrap.
# One whole apple.
# Half an onion.
# Quarter cup of apple juice.
# Salt and Pepper.
First Brown the loin in margin or butter. The cut apple into wedges. Slice the onion. Make a slit lenght of the loin about hlf an inch. Insert apple and onion into the slit of the loin. Wrap with some string so all tthe flavor is sealed in. Bake in a 225 degree oven tell desired tenderness. About half way through cooking process pour your apple juice over your loin. Serve over pasta or whatever you like. This recipe still has a few flaws to it. I am working on it to make it better. If you have an idea send me the info. GOOD COOKIN... SEE YA!!
 
 
From: MisShot
I do a Campbell's soup special where I wrap venison steaks layered with 4 bacon slices
Covered in cream of mushroom soup
Worchester
Garlic powder
A little wine (or wine vinegar)
Pepper and what ever else in tin foil.
Then bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hours. I serve over rice or noodles. The meat is tender and the compliments are many. I also uses my lasagna recipe with ground venison instead of beef and the taste is like mild sausage. Meatloaf the same. We have a gas smoker at the camp so I can take a well salted/peppered ham and put it on high for 2-3 hours, putting whole garlic cloves and onions in the water pan below. The fellows always carve this one down to the bone - and so easy! Sorry I can't provide any structured recipes...
 
 
From: Lex from Maryland
I have only done this with Muskrat but it would work with a deer roast I bet.
Take four muskrats and cut them in half.
This gives you eight pieces of muskrat which you salt and pepper and place in a crock pot.
Slice one large onion and one apple and spread out on top the meat.
Put about 1/4 inch of water in the pot,set it on high, put on the lid and let it cook. Don't take off the lid too much or the heat escapes. In about 6-7 hours the muskrat meat is falling off the bones. I have a pot full cooking right now!
 
 
From: TennBow
Here's another great recipe for camp.
This one combines squirrel and venison.
4 cleaned squirrel
1 venison ham
3 whole onions (large white ones)
Dry Mustard
Brown Sugar
Salt & Pepper
Butter
Worstershire Sauce
Wash and dry the squirrel, salt and pepper the cavity well. Core the onion and fill the cavity of the onion with butter and worstershire. Wrap the onion in aluminum foil. Combine Dry mustard, Brown Sugar, Salt& Pepper and coat the venison ham well. Put the venison on the bottom rack of your smoker and the onion and squirell on the top. Fill the water pan and smoke on medhigh for 3 Hrs. My father always made this in our camp after the first kill. I'll never forget the taste of the meat and the smell of the onion when you open the foil. Serve with a pot of beans and take in the accolades.

From: Norm Johnson
 A favorite camp meal for us is to take an elk loin or deer loin.
Brown some bacon to about 1/2 - 3/4 done.
Amount depends on size of loins.
Slice the loin down the side, almost to the other side. Spread open. Lay your bacon strips on one side and then close and pin together with toothpicks. While you were preparing this, start the coals on the barby Place the loin and the bacon on the grill, and grill to desred taste. Medium to Medium rare is my preference... just don't make it too well done. A good combination with this, is to take some cooked rice, sliced almonds and some mushrooms and fry in some of the left over bacon grease.... Finish with a great dessert and you will get a great night's sleep!!
God Bless, Norm Johnson
 
 
From: Steve Borst btire@global2000.net
 Smoked Venison Jerky Slice venison into strips about 1/8 inch thick(easiest when partially frozen)across the grain.
Marinate in brown sugar(1 cup/2pounds meat)
1/2 cup soy sauce,and 1/2 cup of worcester sauce.
The meat should be rotated and mixed every 2 hours and you should marinate for a total of about 6-8 hours.
Before smoking the meat should be seasoned.
I use a mix of 1 tbls. black pepper
1tbls. seasoning salt
1 tbls. cayenne pepper(more or less for desired HEAT)
1/2 tbls. of garlic powder.
Seasoning is best applied from a salt shaker.
Once the meat is layed out on the smoking tray the meat should be smoke cooked with low heat and plenty of Hickory or Apple chips(well soaked in water).Be sure the meat is dried out well, that way you are sure it has cured proper- ly and the jerky spoiling will not be a problem. Of course it usually get eaton up before then.  ENJOY!!!
