Venison Parmesan

This is a standard recipe meant for chicken breast or veal, both naturally quite tender. Venison or any tough cut should be tenderized first unless you have an exceptionally tender cut.

One good way to tenderize a steak is to place it between sheets of plastic wrap lubed with a little cooking oil, and use a meat mallet to pound it into the desired thickness.

I use an LEM brand meat tenderizer attachment on my meat grinder and it works like a dream. It’s an expensive tool but really well built ­ should outlast the owner. I have no relationship with LEM, just a happy customer.
