Phillipgr last night I just had the first of the Fallow that I shot a 9 days back. It had spent all that time in the chill of an old fridge. The back steaks were "melt in your mouth" tender. The secret to cooking venison is to never take it past medium rare and as VC says know that it does continue to cook some as you rest it after cooking. You can get a good judgement of how cooked a piece of steak is by pressing your finger into it and comparing it to the muscle that is on the palm of your hand just under your thumb. Holding your thumb to your first finger = rare, thumb to middle finger = medium rare, thumb to third finger = medium and thumb to little finger = well done.
