Description

A heartwarming dish featuring tender venison cubes smothered in a rich cream of mushroom sauce, perfect for gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs venison cut into 2″ cubes
  • 1 large can cream of mushroom
  • Flour
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Seasoned salt
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1-2 eggs


Instructions

  1. Heat your choice of oil in a skillet (medium-high) or deep fryer (365 degrees).
  2. Create a battering station by placing flour on one plate, beaten eggs in a bowl, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and flour on another plate at a ratio of roughly 80/20.
  3. Season both the flour and breadcrumb plates with seasoned salt and pepper.
  4. Roll the venison cubes in flour first, then dip them in the egg mixture, and finally coat them with the breadcrumb/flour mixture.
  5. Fry the battered venison cubes until golden brown, aiming for medium-rare (approximately 130 degrees internal temperature).
  6. Place the fried venison in a baking dish and cover it with the cream of mushroom. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

Notes

Allow the venison to rest after frying for optimal tenderness. Ensure oil temperature is maintained for a perfect crust.
