Venison, or deer meat, is a healthy, lean game meat that has a low fat and cholesterol content compared to other meats. This healthier option doesn't compromise on taste though! Venison has an excellent flavour and consistency that is achieved by the length of time it is left to 'hang'. Game meat can be either slow cooked at a low temperature to tenderise the meat or it can also be cooked just like beef - as a roast or steak.
