Description

A comforting dish featuring crispy fried venison cubes smothered in creamy mushroom sauce, perfect for family gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs venison, cut into 2″ cubes
  • 1 large can cream of mushroom
  • Flour
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Seasoned salt
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1-2 eggs


Instructions

  1. Start by rolling the venison cubes in the seasoned flour, ensuring each piece is coated well.
  2. Next, dip the floured meat into the beaten egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
  3. Coat the cubes with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even covering.
  4. Carefully place the coated venison cubes into the heated oil. Fry until they turn golden brown, aiming for a medium-rare internal temperature of around 130 degrees.
  5. Once fried, transfer the venison to a baking dish. Pour the cream of mushroom over the top and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes, allowing the dish to heat through entirely, enhancing the flavors.

Notes

For a crunchier coating, use fresh breadcrumbs. You can double-dip the venison for a thicker layer or add spices to the breadcrumbs for extra flavor.
