I like how your steaks were cut thicker. I am going to ask my butcher to do that next year.Thanks!!
The girlfriend really liked it.
I took 3 chunks over to the neighbor. After the first one he said "I am really liking your new hobby."
After the second one I asked him what he though it was. He replied "roast beef. Damn good roast beef"
As he finished the last one I told him it was venison.
He just looked at me and said that he never ever had venison that tasted like that.
I marinade my wild game for as long as possible, usually 3 days before cooking. Really takes any undesired taste out of the meat. And cooking rare to medium rare makes a big difference too.
