How do you cook Fallow Deer?
Since Fallow deer meat is naturally low in fat content, it will dry out quickly. Grilling, broiling or sautéing quickly at high heat will allow the meat to stay tender and juicy. These methods work well for venison or tender cuts because deer meat is most tender when cooked to no more than medium rare.
For roasts, since they are initially less tender, you will want to cook in a way that adds moisture. By stewing or braising the meat over a relatively low heat for a longer period of time, you will end up with a fall-off-the-fork tender piece of meat.
What is Fallow Deer?
