What Is Venison?

Originally referred to as all edible game, venison now means the meat of any kind of elk, deer, or bison. This ultra-lean, protein-packed meat is rich in earthy taste and pairs well with multiple seasonal flavors.

What Is the Difference Between Beef & Venison?

Venison isn’t too different from beef, but a few qualities set it apart from your typical sirloin steak. Venison is full of protein, low in saturated fats, and isn’t jammed with harmful antibiotics or steroids.

Is Venison Healthy?

Yes! Since it’s rich in protein, venison helps promote healthy muscle growth and keeps you full. Venison is also a heart-healthy choice since it’s low in fat and cholesterol, making this wild game a great option for health-conscious eaters.

Another benefit? Venison is full of essential nutrients like Vitamin B and iron. However, since venison has more protein than other meats, it will take longer to digest.

How to Cook Venison

If you know how to cook beef, you’ll know how to cook venison. You won’t want to overcook venison, so take special care in following cook times. When roasting venison, a good rule of thumb to follow per every two pounds of venison is:

• Oven set to 400ºF
• 12-15 minutes for rare-to-medium venison
• 15-20 minutes for medium-to-well venison

When your timer goes off, let your venison rest between 10 and 20 minutes after cooking.
