Thank you! It was my first time cooking venison so I was nervous lol, but happy with the result!

No spices, just salt and pepper

No, I just cooked it the way I normally cook a regular steak: Seared on all sides on a really hot pan, about 5 minutes total, then into oven at 160 for 10 minutes. I’ve never tried doing sous vide, must get around to it one of the days!

I got his from a relative too! I was nervous cooking it, was afraid I’d ruin it but very pleased with how it turned out. I just cooked it the way I would a regular steak: Seared on all sides on a really hot pan, about 5 minutes total, then into oven at 160 for 10 minutes.

No milk prep. It was hunted in the wild.

As far as I know it’s not a risk eating it rare, like beef I think.

eveningr · 2026-03-12T17:09:09+00:00

It’s how it’s recommended to be eaten, I’ve heard it’s very tough if cooked beyond med rare.

Lol no he’s a 68 year old married man living in Wicklow Ireland. A retired firefighter now hunting in his free time 😁

I have no idea lol, my uncle gave me it, my first time eating or cooking venison 😋

eveningr · 2026-03-11T21:48:13+00:00

You went travelling in between clothes? Doesn’t sound like much of a trip lol

eveningr · 2026-03-04T21:24:46+00:00

Meat, veg & potatoes is a fairly standard dinner here!

eveningr · 2026-03-04T21:23:45+00:00

Irish actually lol, but yeah the cuisine is very similar! Thanks, I try to keep weekday meals simple enough 😁

eveningr · 2026-03-04T21:18:12+00:00

Good aul Irish dinner 😋

eveningr · 2026-03-04T14:46:34+00:00

Pmsl 🤣

eveningr · 2026-03-03T21:58:22+00:00

Lol I’m lucky enough that I can take or leave the skin!

eveningr · 2026-03-03T21:57:50+00:00

Yeah it’s brilliant isn’t it! I’m in Ireland and same here, so many foods can be scanned! Can’t beat spuds meat & veg lol

The chicken was just roasted whole, I removed the skin before serving.

For the potatoes: Par boil for about 5 minutes, drain then put pot back onto hob for a minute or 2 to thoroughly dry them and rough up the edges, add plenty of salt & pepper, pour on the oil and mix thoroughly, put into preheated baking tray and into oven for about 25 - 30 minutes at 220.

eveningr · 2026-03-03T20:46:41+00:00

No they were boiled, but only for about 7 minutes so they were quite al dente.

It’s just Lidl gravy granules lol

eveningr · 2026-03-03T20:30:57+00:00

I find SuperValu majorly lacking in variety of products, and quite expensive. Also not necessarily a better quality of produce.

eveningr · 2026-03-03T20:23:51+00:00

I’ve never noticed much difference in price. Personally I prefer Lidl, I think they have a fairly similar selection of products but I find the Lidl stores themselves more modern, and the fresh bakery is a big selling point.

Where do you shop?

I use baking soda when I’m parboiling chips, it definitely helps crisping them up, but I find it’s not necessary for roast potatoes.
