Instead, sprinkle the meat with salt, pepper, garlic powder or other spices you normally would use on beef. Then place the steaks on the grill and cook them until the meat is seared on both sides — no longer.Beside above, why does deer taste gamey? The ‘wild’ flavor of venison is directly related to what the animal eats. Corn fed deer will have a milder flavor than those that eat acorns or sage. The ‘gamey’ flavor is more noticeable in the fat. Removing the fat, connective tissue, silver skin, bone and hair during processing lessens the ‘gamey’ taste. Also question is, what is best to soak deer meat in before cooking? Soak the venison in white vinegar for one hour after you have finished soaking it in the saltwater. This will help tenderize the deer meat and remove any leftover “gamey” flavor.Why is my deer meat tough?”Freshly butchered venison — especially when it is in rigor mortis — will be super tough,” Cihelka said.
