Unstuffed Cabbage Soup – Ohio

It is important to note that white-tailed deer meat can and is easily substituted for beef in recipes using tomatoes or tomato juice. Ground white-tailed deer meat makes for a tasty burger, but most people in our area like white-tailed deer meat either in a sausage form or in a stew.

White-tailed deer meat is lean and tends to be a chewier, tougher red meat than a finely fat-marbled red meat such as beef or pork. To tenderize white-tailed deer meat (also known as venison) tomato sauce or tomato juice is often used.

Slow cooking white-tailed deer meat (venison) in a slow cooker is an ideal solution for tenderizing and cooking this meat at the same time. The process of slow cooking breaks down the toughness of meat; thus a slow cooker recipe using tomatoes, salsa or tomato juice are ideal!
