Fallow hind quarter meat shot by my daughter.

This animal has been fantastic so I had no hesitation in slicing into thick steaks.
Attachment 172932
Seasoned and well at room temp I turned my attention to some mushrooms, bacon,spuds and cabbage.
Attachment 172933
Attachment 172933
Spuds nearly cooked got the steak in the pan to sear and a nto the (warm) oven to rest with the plates( pet hate of mine hot food on a cold plate)
As the steak went into the oven to rest the cabagge pre seasoned and sitting on a knob of butter was turned on high while I drained the spuds and buttered them.
Just a touch of crunch to the cabbage is key.
My plateing is shit but I can cook what I can cook bloody good and get it all on the plate hot rested and cooked all at the same time :thumbsup:

Bloody nice mate! Perfect hearty meal for this shitty weather!
shite that looks AWESOME... really tidy presentation,and I can almost smell the aroma.....hope it tasted as good as it looks.
Looks bloody good VC.
Went fishing and no one else wanted these so smoked them in my do it all cooker. It's big enough that I can light a fire at one end and almost cold smoke them at the other end. Attachment 173407

I keep forgetting to take photos. I made a really weird soup made of a combination of animals. Rabbit frames, pork bones, chicken bones, deer liver, and fish balls. Added cabbage, garlic cloves and white pepper to the mix as well. Kinda ended up tasting like a singaporean pig organ soup, or a meat-heavy chinese hot pot which is pleasant.
With hopefully chilli.... :)Quote:

Sambar back steaks do not taste like a horse,very tender and primo!

Chilli shrooms rub.
Doesn't look hot but this is dried jhut bolokia, cayenne, lemon, orange and mushrooms. 7.62x39 for scale.
Brutal. Even for me as a lover of hot things.

Thanks. The pate is just some red onion and mushroom sweated down with some fresh thyme and ground black pepper. Some whole grain mustard spread on top of meat after searing but I'd probably leave that out next time. Tender and tasty. My kids don't realise how spoilt they are for quality meat.
Very lucky to have access to a private property 1/2 an Hour away from the farm that has good numbers of Fallow & one of my favorite Venison dishes is Apple cider wood,smoked Fallow. Melt in the mouth with a few roast veg from the garden :pacman:
We have a busy food preparation time ahead as our extended hunting expedition means we now have 4 Chest Freezers between us, full of various Game after we helped out local families hit hard by the floods & storm damage & emptied ours ,so it will be a busy time making Salami & Sausages,Vac packing etc for the summer BBQ season .

@Hewie that Wellington looks bloody good mate! Bet it tasted even better.
A nice and basic one… cheese & bacon omelette. Bacon homemade from a wild pig I got in the Hawke’s Bay.

How did you get that so perfect without being able to 'press' or feel the meat ?Quote:

@Pixie Z Nothing wrong with basic when it is delicious & wholesome food like that. You have the Bacon down to a fine art ,that is just how l like it .:thumbsup:
I did use a cheap non-digital meat thermometer I was given by the kids at Christmas to help. Oh and the meat was taken straight from the fridge, seared, then back into fridge to chill before wrapping in pastry. Gives the pastry time to cook properly without overcooking the meat insideQuote:

The kids have been calling in to see the dogs & l suspect get a feed since,which the missus & dogs enjoy ,so the missus agreed we are going to have the family over again & watch Blazing Saddles as they would never have seen anything like it before .So l did a bit of a cook up along the cowboy lines of a "Texas Smoked BBQ" since our freezers are now crammed full after finally getting away for a few hunting trips .
So to keep it simple feeding the tribe l did a "Texas Smoked BBQ" roast wild pork for pulled pork & roast rump of Venison & coleslaw rolls .

Kids had a ball & laughed their little hearts out & ate the lot . Let the Fart Jokes begin at their place for the next few months :P
Looks very nice but you seem to be missing the beans (-:
Ah Ha ! I am pleased I asked, wouldn't have thought of searing it first.Quote:

So bait and lamb ribs for dinner.
