**Country Fried Venison: A Southern Classic with a Twist**

Country fried venison is a delectable dish that combines the rich flavors of venison with a crispy, golden-brown coating. This Southern classic is a versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or even a sandwich. In this article, we'll share two mouthwatering recipes for country fried venison: a traditional recipe and a healthier version made with almond flour. Both recipes are easy to follow and guarantee a delicious and satisfying meal. So, whether you're a seasoned cook or just starting out, get ready to tantalize your taste buds with this Southern comfort food.

**Traditional Country Fried Venison:**

1. Venison Tenderloins or Steaks: The star of the show! Tender venison meat is cut into bite-sized pieces, ensuring a juicy and flavorful experience in every bite.

2. Buttermilk Marinade: This marinade infuses the venison with a tangy, savory flavor. It helps tenderize the meat and keeps it moist during the frying process.

3. Seasoned Flour Mixture: A combination of flour, salt, pepper, and other spices creates a flavorful coating for the venison. This mixture adds a crispy texture and enhances the natural taste of the meat.

4. Frying: The venison pieces are coated in the seasoned flour mixture and then fried until golden brown. This process creates a crispy exterior while maintaining the tenderness of the venison inside.

**Healthier Country Fried Venison with Almond Flour:**

1. Venison Tenderloins or Steaks: Similar to the traditional recipe, tender venison is sliced into bite-sized pieces.

2. Almond Flour Coating: Instead of traditional flour, this recipe uses almond flour, a gluten-free and low-carb alternative. Almond flour provides a nutty flavor and a crispy texture.

3. Seasonings: A blend of spices, including salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, adds flavor to the almond flour coating.

4. Egg Wash: The venison pieces are dipped into an egg wash before being coated in the almond flour mixture. This helps the coating adhere to the meat and ensures an even golden-brown color.

5. Baking: Unlike the traditional recipe, this healthier version is baked in the oven instead of fried. Baking provides a crispy coating while reducing the amount of oil used.

Both the traditional and healthier country fried venison recipes offer unique flavor profiles and textures. Whether you prefer the classic Southern comfort food or a healthier alternative, these recipes guarantee a delicious and satisfying meal.

Bubba's Country-Fried Venison Steak image

Categories     Side     Fry     Steak     Venison     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups, plus 2 tablespoons allpurpose flour
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Eight 4-ounce venison steaks, cubed
1 teaspoon The Lady's House
Seasoning
1 teaspoon The Lady's Seasoned
Salt
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 cups hot water
1/2 teaspoon Accent (optional)
1 bunch green onions, or 1 medium yellow onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Combine 1 1/2 cups flour and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper. Sprinkle one side of meat with the House Seasoning and the other side with the Seasoned Salt. Dredge the meat in the flour mixture. Heat 1/2 cup oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, add two of the venison steaks, and fry until nice and brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining steaks, adding up to 1/4 cup oil, as needed.
  • When all the steaks are cooked, make the gravy: Add the 2 tablespoons of flour to the pan drippings; stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the salt. Stir until the flour is medium brown and the mixture is bubbly. Slowly add the water and the Accent (if using), stirring constantly. Return the steaks to the skillet and bring to a boil; reduce the heat, place the onions on top of the steaks, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • To tenderize the venison, soak it in buttermilk or a vinegar-based marinade for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Use a light touch when breading the venison; too much breading will make the meat tough.
  • Fry the venison in hot oil until it is golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the venison will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the venison with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw.

Conclusion:

Country-fried venison is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your venison is tender, juicy, and flavorful. So next time you have some venison, give this recipe a try!
