Venison Schnitzel image

I don't have a clue where my Dad got this particular recipe, but he used to build it during hunting season when we had fresh venison (elk, antelope, mule or whitetail deer), 'hanging and aging'. I still make it when the opportunity presents itself.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds venison tenderloin
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons bacon drippings
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup dry bread crumbs
½ cup crushed buttery round cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Cut tenderloin into 1/2 inch steaks. Slice each steak in half horizontally, from the smallest toward the largest side, until there is only a very small section keeping the two halves connected. Slice a few small scores on the outer edges of each steak to prevent them from curling up when frying.
  • Preheat oil and bacon drippings in a large heavy skillet over medium high heat. In a large shallow dish, combine flour, salt and pepper. In a separate shallow bowl, beat together egg and milk. In another shallow dish, combine bread crumbs and cracker crumbs.
  • Dredge the steaks in the seasoned flour, and using a meat mallet, pound them down to just slightly less than their 1/4 inch thickness. Dip the steaks in the egg mixture, then coat each steak on both sides with the crumbs. Set aside on a clean plate. When all steaks are evenly coated, place prepared steaks gently in a single layer into the hot oil.
  • Fry steaks for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle each steak lightly with lemon juice.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The venison schnitzel is always tender and juicy, and the breading is crispy and flavorful. I love serving it with mashed potatoes and green beans.

This recipe is a great starting point for venison schnitzel. I made a few changes to the recipe, such as using a different type of breading and cooking the schnitzel in a different way. The results were delicious!

I would give this recipe a 3 out of 5 stars. It was easy to make, but the results were not as good as I had hoped.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The schnitzel was a bit bland and the breading was not very flavorful.

The schnitzel was a bit dry. I think I should have cooked it for less time.

This schnitzel was a bit too gamey for my taste. I think I would prefer to use a different type of meat next time.

I love that this recipe uses venison, which is a healthier alternative to traditional schnitzel. The schnitzel was also very easy to make, and it turned out perfectly.
