“Gaminess” comes from Miss handling. Period. B eef lamb chicken can all get it too! Heck fish... If it smells like fish IT AINT FRESH!! FRESH fish has no fishy smells.
Fresh properly handled meat has no gaminess.
BUT, sometimes its Inevitable. When I have someone who dosent eat venison regularly or Im worried they might not like it Ill marinate in Teriyaki.
You can cook up like liver n onions. You can bread and fry. You can cook with onions and peppers over rice with gravy.
MOST IMPORTANT. DO NOT OVER COOK! To heck with your preferred here, Med Rare is how you cook lean meats like Venison. Rare ok too if you like but well done is shoe leather.
Also it smokes very very well.
Im doing a smoked loin for our thanks giving dinner.
