Pluckit - you must not be making it right if you don't like venison steak. Tell you what. Take a steak and dry it with a paper towel. Trim off all fat. (that's where the rancid or bitter taste comes from) Then rub a bit of vegtable oil and season it with seasoning salt and fresh ground pepper on both sides. Now get a cast iron fry pan hot. Now, throw that steak on the hot pan and it will sear all the juices inside. Leave it on that side for 2 1/2- 3 minutes then flip it over and sear the other side for another 2 1/2 to 3 mins. I guarantee you that you will enjoy it. It will be tasty, tender an juicy.
