Simple recipe, BUT not the best way to make gravy. Cook flour in fat first, then slowly add milk. Grrr.

Just fried some deer steaks as per the recipe. Steaks turned out great. The gravy was ok, maybe I need to practice that part. Overall I recommend highly.

I always add ground ginger to the venison meat just as I would salt and pepper and there is no wild taste but just wonderful flavor. I've done this for years and always get rave reviews on it.

I simply added some Creole to the flour and boom best chicken fried ever. I'll try that ginger thing. But I love the wild taste.
