ground venison

[stymie]

we always use 50% beef with 50% venison. I tried a small batch of Pork with venison for some burgers and it came out pretty good.

I have a motorized meat grinder. After about 10 years of hand cranking, it was time for a change.

When I used to grind for burgers I added beef fat to make it hold together. Worked great.

Deer/Bacon burger is great. Use the Bacon Ends & Pieces. I tried 70/30 and it turned out great.

I got a question. My wife says she can taste the gamey taste when i grind deer hamburger. I use beef talon and straight deer. I mix it at 80% deer 20% talon. Could someone tell me how to get raid of the gamey taste so she will eat it? It doesnt bug me but it does her. Thanks.

Sit that deer on ice about 4 or 5 days and drain the water, add ice.
When you tirm it out get rid of any fat on the deer.A lot of gamey taste comes from the fat.

Been mixing brisket and venison for my ground for years. I go 2/3 venison and 1/3 lean brisket. Once weighed, I add 8% fat that was trimmed from the brisket.

For those wanting to cut down on the gamey taste, let your cubed venison sit in a cold cold cooler for a day or two with towels in the bottom. That will soak up a ton of blood, which is where the gamey comes from.

x4 or the grind (deer brisket 50/50 vs 60/40), both are ok, you just have to look at the meat coming out to see the fat content. We like our's lean so no more than 60 deer/ 40 beef. Depends a lot on the briskets too, so look at the grinded meat coming out.

Grinder is a 1 hp through a gearbox and number 32 shoot. Don't get a knife blade down in it, Haha.

we had some Nilgai and brisket ground it up and it was some of the best burgers I have had. we did 50/50.

I had some Nilgai once from the king ranch. It does make good burgers and steaks.
