    I've been trying to move your "Basic Bannock" recipe over here without any luck, sorry. Could you just re-post it here? Also think about the parameters of who would be using your recipes. Keeping things simple is sometimes the best, maybe.

    Default Good Deer Steaks!!!

    Beowulf's Deer venison Steaks with Mushroom Game Sauce

    Steaks:
    4 Deer venison steaks cut from loin
    Juniper berries; ground
    2 ts Salt
    1/3 c Butter; melted
    2 c Wild mushroom game sauce
    Sauce:
    1 oz Dried boletus edulis
    2 c Water
    2 oz Fresh onions; chopped
    3 tb Butter; melted
    3 tb Flour
    1 c Rich Deer venison stock; * see note
    1/2 c Dry red wine
    Salt and pepper; to taste
    6 Juniper berries; crushed fine
    2 Allspice berries; crushed fine
    1 ts Dijon mustard
    1/4 ts Paprika
    2 oz Dill pickles; diced

    Pound the steaks to 1/2-inch thickness. Sprinkle lightly with the juniper berries and salt. Saute the steaks with the butter for about 3 minutes on each side. The Deer venison should be done no more than medium rare. Heat the wild mushroom game sauce, adjust for salt, pour over the steaks, and serve.
    Sauce:
    Clean mushrooms thoroughly under brisk running water.
    Combine the mushrooms and about 2 cups of water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat, and let simmer for 30 minutes. Remove reconstituted mushrooms from broth, and set aside for later addition to sauce. Prepare a roux: Saute the onions in the butter until they are almost traansparent; add the flour, and stir for 1 minute. Add the simmered mushroom extract, strained Deer venison stock, and red wine to the roux mixture, and stir till blended and slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Add juniper berries, allspice, mustard, paprika, reconstituted mushrooms, and dill pickles. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper. The sauce is now ready to use.

    Default Beowulf's Wilderness Deer Chunks

    20 to 30 chunks of deer meat
    1 long a** stick or several sticks about pencil thin
    Open fire

    Spit the meat on the sticks and cook over open fire at your camp site
    until meat is cooked all the way through (or to your liking) and pull off as you wanna eat.
    My favorite way to eat it
