Delicious Venison Recipes

Venison Cooking Tips
Succulent Results, Every Time
Duncan Venison is exceptionally lean and tender, and is best served medium rare. It requires very little preparation and minimal cooking time - generally speaking you want to sear it hot and fast to begin with, then roast to ensure even cooking. Always remember to rest the meat before serving - it may be hard to resist cutting into your venison straight away, but it's crucial to allow those delicious juices to distribute throughout the meat.
