Description

A mouth-watering fried venison backstrap recipe that combines tender slices with a crispy, seasoned coating. Perfect for a hearty meal that showcases the best of venison.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (2 pound) venison backstrap, cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
  • 2 ½ cups milk, divided
  • 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
  • 3 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  • Marinate the venison slices in 1 cup of milk and hot pepper sauce for 1 hour. This tenderizes the meat and adds flavor.
  • In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying.
  • In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. This mixture will create the crispy coating.
  • In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining 1 ½ cups of milk. This helps the coating adhere to the venison.
  • Dredge the venison slices in the flour mixture, dip in the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture again for an extra crispy layer.
  • Fry the coated venison slices in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. This ensures a perfect, crunchy texture.
  • Drain on paper towels and serve hot. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a larger meal.

Notes

Ensure the oil is hot enough to avoid a soggy coating. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
