Remember when meat had to fight for its freedom before ending up on your plate? Yeah, those were the days when “gamey” wasn't a hipster beard style, but a mandatory descriptor for venison. Today's palate, however, raised on supermarket-swaddled steaks, might find that wild tang a bit too, well, feral. But fear not, fellow foodies, for with a little know-how, you can transform this once-feared protein into a delicacy fit for a feast (and maybe even impress your farm-raised friends).
So, you snagged yourself a Bambi-less Bambi. Now what? The real hunt begins after the bullet sings its final song. A single, well-placed shot is the first commandment of venison nirvana. Why?
