I think if i made this again then I would add some kind of seasoning to it. It reminded me of a fish fry on its own.

I made this using our venison tenderloin strips which I soaked in salt water all day. I was out of saltines so, I used Keebler Club Crackers which have a buttery flavor and I also subtituted veggie oil for the canola oil. WOW! It turned out delicious, I could eat this for nearly every meal.

growing up in the mid-west we had this very same thing only we called them tenderloins. i am going to make these using the tenderloin or thin boneless pork chops to bring back a little mid-west.

My husband & I are both avid hunters and my daughter will be soon also. We also have something wild to eat. You can use deer, elk or antelope in place of any beef in a recipe. If you have a real wild tasting piece of steak you can soak it in buttermilk to help calm the flavor also.

My Husband and son hunt alot of deer and I was not very fond of eating all that deer meat.But this is a very good recipe!

I'd never had vennison until I met my husband who loves to hunt. He always cooks his deer meat the same way and I have never liked it. I tried this recipe hoping to make eating all the deer meat from this hunting season more bearable. I couldn't believe how good it was. I actually went back for seconds. This is a fantastic recipe. I will definitely make it over and over again. My husband loves it also.
