I just got a ton of deer meat from my gramps. Are there any special

Its pretty lean, so I cook it with other fats typically. Imo it cooks faster than beef so watch for that. Pairs really well with fruits but nobody does it for some reason.

Depending on your venison, it can taste gamey. The mule deer around here kinda taste like sagebrush, since that's what they tend to eat. I usually add it to heavily seasoned dishes, like curry or chili in place of beef.

Fruit like apples and pears? Citrus? Acidic berries? What do you recommend?

Don't overcook it. I know a lot of people are concerned about getting sick from wild game and they tend to overcook it.

If you have backstraps my favorite is to just eat them with salt and pepper cooked medium rare.

I hope grandpa isn't this wasteful with his meat. If anything, OP probably got some ground deer meat to make burgers with.

Anything non acidic really. You can't marinade it in acid because it will start to cook in it, so yeah I use things like pears, apples, kiwi, and grapes. Grapes make a great compote for venison but are a bitch to cook properly without turning them into mush, but I've gotten pretty good at it after a few tries.

It's cubesteak and tenderloin. I'm a pretty experienced cook I just have never used deer before.

Thaw it and make a fleshlight

just don't overcook it
and don't serve it with anything too strong flavoured, it would be just fine with a red wine jus from the pan, some steamed broccoli, creamy potatoes and baby carrots

Unffff
I love juniper berries if I end up with a cut of it that I have to stew.

Just for fun, no matter how you cook it, always serve one plate with a maraschino cherry.

Oh, you got Rudolph!

I do know that deer makes for better jerky than beef.

My dad does it with a marinade and an oven dry.
