Venison roast with potatoes
Like any red meat, venison can be prepared a variety of ways. The cut of the meat, roast, steaks or burger, will determine the best way to cook venison for eating. In most cases, venison can be prepared the same way as any lean beef. For burgers or sausage, the addition of pork shoulder of beef suet will make for a better tasting burger. Like beef, venison should be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
