How to Make Venison Stir Fry
Remove silverskin
Venison will have a silver skin (the white connective tissue)that should be removed before cooking. Removing the this will aid in preventing that gamey taste in the meat.
Thinly slice steak
Because the meat should cook quickly, you should slice the steak into very thin slices. If your slices are too thick, the meat will be tougher because you will tend to cook it longer.
Prepare veggies
Slice and dice broccoli, red bell pepper, green onions, and jalapeno.
Step 4
Once the venison steak slices are in the hot oil, use a flat head wooden spoon to separate the slices and get each piece on the hot oiled surface. Then, let the steak sizzle and brown a few minutes before stirring.
Remove steak from wok
After the meat is cooked, it should be removed from the wok and set aside while you cook the aromatics, broccoli and red pepper for the recipe.
Cook aromatics and vegetables
Add the jalapeno and red pepper with the onion, jalapeno, and fresh ginger). Cook for 3-4 minutes, then add broccoli and cook another 3-4 minutes.
Add venison back to wok
Return the cooked venison along with any accumulated juices back to the pan and cook 2 minutes longer, until steak is warmed through.
Substitutions
Sweet and savory stir-fry: substitute ½ a green bell pepper for the jalapeno pepper.
Sauce substitute: regular soy sauce can be substituted for the coconut aminos.
Veggie variety: use a combination of your favorite veggies. Cauliflower, broccoli, peppers, and carrots all work well in this stir fry recipe.
Top Tips
- Use a very sharp knife (affiliate link) when slicing the steak. If you have difficulty slicing thawed meat, you can slice the steak while it is still slightly frozen.
- When cleaning the broccoli, use cold salt water. This will draw out any worms or bugs that may be hiding in the florets.
- Cooking the steak in batches will allow it to brown rather than steam. With too much steak in the pan, the meat sweats and juices release causing it to not brown.
Equipment
- Wok
- Cutting board
- Wooden spoon
- Sharp knife
