Venison steak, medium rare

Myself being a minimalist (some call it lazy), a personal favorite of mine for almost any venison, including waterfowl meat, is to simply fry it in bacon grease until almost but not quite medium rare.
Place it on a room temperature or slightly warmer plate, cover it ( foil or a small stew pot lid works well) and let it rest for about 2 minutes.
It will continue to cook a bit, while resting under its tent.
If all the planets line up perfectly, when the tent is removed, the meat is medium rare.
Then enjoy it with a decent red wine.
Malbec is my preference with game meat.
But other grapes yield proper red wine for paring with game meat as well.
Cheers.

PS:
This is not a good recipe for hare / rabbit or upland birds.
Ducks, geese, swans and cranes however are quite good this way, as are deer, elk, moose, pronghorn, etc.

WARNING:
Bear and boar need to be well done, in order to kill dangerous parasites.

Good morning,
Did you hunt w Leeuwkop at their ranch or in Zimbabwe? The ranch looks awesome, but I'll be in Zimbabwe for buffalo and whatever else we dig up.
What did you hunt for?
Vaccines?
What rifle did you use?
I feel like I need a good cotton safari shirt and an ammo belt to make the hunt feel right!
How often did you shoot prior to going?
Did you use sticks for shooting practice?



Tedd
