I guess it pulls the fat outta the meat?

There's not much fat to get out of venison. I like to tenderize strips and put in milk for a few hours. I fry them up and they melt in your mouth and taste great. I don't always put them in milk for this long though, but I always use milk for my batter. The key to having tender meat is to tenderize it.

Never heard of milk before but you could use 1 cup olive oil and 1 cup teriyaky sauce. Taste great!!! Walt

The acid in coke helps break down the proteins in the meat and makes it more tender...

My grandmother would soak meat in buttermilk (sour milk for all of y'all north of the mason dixon) if it had not bled out well. She said it helped soak the blood out of the meat and would cut the liver flavor.
