<p><a href="/glossary/venison-glossary">Venison</a> is the rich and flavourful meat obtained from deer. You can buy farmed venison and wild venison; the latter may have a stronger flavour. Wild venison often comes from local fallow, muntjac or Chinese water deer. You can buy venison in a range of cuts including loin fillet, haunch and loin cuts for roasting, steaks, chops, mince, burgers and sausages making it suitable for a variety of dishes.</p>

<h2>Is venison sustainable?</h2>
<p>Deer for wild venison in the UK tends to be culled for environmental reasons (deer populations are high and they have no natural predators) which makes this low-carbon meat. It is not only highly sustainable but also free-range.</p>
<h2>How to choose the best cut of venison</h2>
<p><strong>For roasting:</strong> choose whole fillet; saddle (bone in); loin (boneless saddle); haunch (back leg, either on the bone or boned and rolled); or shoulder (boned and rolled).</p>
<p><strong>For grilling, barbecuing, or frying:</strong> choose loin steaks (either medallions or filet mignon); shoulder steaks; or haunch steaks (topside and silverside).</p>
<p><strong>For braising and pot-roasting:</strong> choose haunch (on the bone or boned and rolled); shoulder (on the bone or boned and rolled); or shank (foreleg).</p>
<p><strong>For stews and casseroles:</strong> choose shin or boneless shoulder.</p>
<h2>How to fry venison</h2>
<p>Frying venison, particularly steaks or loin cuts, is a quick and straightforward method to bring out the meat’s natural flavours.</p>
<ol>
<li>Start by allowing the meat to reach room temperature before cooking. This makes sure the meat cooks evenly. Season the venison with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like, juniper is a classic pairing.</li>
<li>Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Rub the steak with a little oil.</li>
<li>Once hot, place the venison in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of the meat for a medium finish. Add a little butter to the pan for the last minute of cooking. Venison is leaner than beef so try not to overcook it, or it may dry out.</li>
<li>Let the meat rest for five minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.</li>
</ol>
<h2>How to roast venison</h2>
<ol>
<li>Roasting is ideal for larger cuts of venison, such as a haunch or saddle, and is a showstopper centre piece for special occasions. Calculate on 200g per person.</li>
<li>Heat your oven to 200°C/190°C fan/gas 6. Season the venison well with salt, pepper, and any herbs or spices you like (rosemary, thyme and juniper work well).</li>
<li>Brown the venison in a hot frying pan in a little oil and butter to start the cooking process and add some fat to the exterior of the meat.</li>
<li>Then, transfer to the oven to roast. A general guideline for cooking time is 20 minutes per kg for medium-rare, plus an additional 20 minutes.</li>
<li>Let the venison rest, covered loosely with foil, for at least 15 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.</li>
</ol>

<h2>How to BBQ venison steaks, burgers and sausages</h2>
<ol>
<li>Grilling over charcoal or wood imparts a smoky flavour to venison, making it perfect for summer barbecues.</li>
<li>Heat your BBQ until the coals are glowing white.</li>
<li>Oil the meat to stop it sticking.</li>
<li>Place the venison steaks, burgers or sausages on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for steaks (depending on thickness) or until the burgers are cooked as you like them. Cook sausages through. Avoid overcooking, as the lean meat can become dry.</li>
</ol>
<h2>How to BBQ venison joints</h2>
<ol>
<li>Barbecuing venison joints often involves slower cooking over indirect heat, which is great for larger cuts.</li>
<li>Marinade your venison for several hours before cooking to tenderise and infuse it with flavour.</li>
<li>When ready to barbecue, ensure your coals are hot and create an area of indirect heat by moving them to one side.</li>
<li>Place the venison on the grill away from the direct heat. Cover and cook, turning occasionally. Cooking times will vary based on the cut and size of the meat, so use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.</li>
<li>Rest the meat before serving to keep it juicy and flavourful.</li>
</ol>
