Fucking beans, even.

I just ate dinner and I'm hungry again

Beans are a little overdone though

What are you drinking with that? Better be something good

Looks good. What are those things at the back of the plate? They look like garlic, if I had to guess.

>>4118934
I had a bottle of, Fat Tire. I'm sure there are better choices but I have to drink what I have at the moment and they don't sell good beer in this town.

>>4118939
They're mushrooms. Also overcooked. I had to use a shitty wok I had and cover them, but since it's thin I misjudged the time.

good job, I like mine just like that.

I wish I knew you, OP so I could force you to make that for me

the meat is just a bit rare for me, but other than that it looks amazing. great job op. i'd pay money for that in a restaurant

>>4118955
I would gladly share the recipe if I had measured the shit I put into it, lol.

Only thing I know is that I marinated in red wine, a little olive oil, worchestershire, some thyme. Fridge for 7 hours. Cooked about 5-6 minutes per side, 15 seconds on the sides that didnt touch the pan just to give it some color. Cooked with some rosemary, butter, and olive oil in pan.

It was a 6 1/2 year old whitetail buck shot in the middle of the rut, but somehow didn't taste gamey at all. I now feel like going and shooting a young deer to see if it tastes any better.

Also, patted dry and let sit for 20 minutes at room temp and salt/pepper to taste before cooking. Tented with foil and let rest for 5 minutes after it came out.

blanch yo greenbeans mofucka

>>4118928
looks nice but the venison could use some sort of sauce

>>4118973

I agree. Pic related. Yuuuuummy

It's burnt. And raw.

>>4119011
Fuck off, black and blue is master steak.

>>4119052
If youre a female, sure.

>>4118977
sriracha top tier sauce
>fuck a ketchup bottle

3 things that stick out for me are

1) Chunk of rosemary on the plate, it doesn't look good, and its inedible
2) You have beans sticking over the edge of the plate
3) Uniform plating, now I'm not saying be pretentious, but that plate could be so much more interesting with a few plating adjustments

nice pretentious presenetation op

>>4119100
>placing food on a plate is pretentious
Wut.

>>4119098
Fried rosemary is edible.

I don't understand the whole, "everything must be edible on the plate" nonsense. I get it, they say that on Chopped or whatever a lot.

>>4119079
>chili sauce
I forget it fucking says CHILI on it. Anyone actually use this shit for CHILI?

Not to be a Gordon Ramsay, but that meat is fucking raw

>>4119111
fuck no, that shit doesn't belong on food, let alone in chili

>>4119118
Jealous fag

>>4118928
Honestly, the beans are atrocious.

Make sure you remove the two ends of the bean and remove that string that is down the sides of the bean.

The meal itself already looks heavy, so maybe just blanch the beans and give a quick sautee of them in some garlic and butter.

I bet you can't really taste that fresh, vegtable taste in those beans, damn shame.

>>4119195

Both ends. wut? The stem end yes, but not the tip.

Be a little positive, say what is good with the dish. Why is everyone gotta be so HIV negative all the time

Tip for beans, buy them then blanch them for about a minute and shock em in cold water. You can keep these in the fridge for a few days, so anytime you want beans, just heat up a pan, add in some butter and garlic add in beans and then some salt and pepper. Just so you don't have to take out a pot and cook off some beans everytime you want beans.

Venison looks well cooked, and potatoes look... potatoey.

Good job op

>>4119195
>the meal itself already looks heavy
>fry the beans in butter

>>4119195
>remove the two ends of the bean and remove that string that is down the sides of the bean.
No.

>>4119115
I prefer it on the blue side, but it was still warm throughout and not too chewy.

Why did you leave that rosemary on the plate, your not going to eat it

>>4119518

if it were fresh, i would say aroma.

cooked like that, nothing.

>>4119518
I actually did eat the rosemary leaves with my potatoes.

I like the flavor.

Pretty much the only thing I've seen I really need to work on are my fucking green beans, but to be honest that's the first time I cook them from fresh. I didn't realize you had to take off the stems, etc. I just ate it like that. Taste was good, but lacked the crunch of a nicely cooked vegetable.

>>4119521
I can see why he used rosemary because rosemary and potatoes work well together, but your telling me you would put fresh rosemary on a plate of food for aroma...?

>>4119534

Yeah, I would. A big, fat sprig like that, bruised with the blunt side of the knife.

I have more venison, green beans, and potatoes uncooked. I might just make it again tomorrow to try and improve the things people pointed out. I for sure need to learn how to cook the beans.

>>4119538
but its not doing anything. its just there, useless. your not going to eat raw rosemary... I prefer to smell what I have cooked or what someone else has cooked for me because smell plays a large factor in taste.

>>4119545

It's sitting there, doing exactly what it should, smelling like rosemary. As you put it, smell plays a large factor in taste.

>>4119553
Yeah and smelling venison while eating venison is better that eating venison and smelling rosemary. just like drinking wine and tasting wine, same concept applies.

same as last thread

deep fry herbs like rosemary

recipe 4 success

>>4119560

No, that's stupid. Try it before you spout off your opinion. Great pains are take in the finest restaurants in the world to produce a smell that complements the main dish.

Next time you have a porkchop or something, hold a sprig of rosemary directly under your nose while you eat it. You'll shit bricks.

>>4119383
Why woulden't you remove the ends of the bean and the string? Even if the beans are quite tender you still want to do this. Why the fuck would you want the stem still on there? So you can spit it out later?

>>4119567
I cook proteins at a zagat rated 28 restaurant, adding herbs to food is constant, but if I were to add raw rosemary to dish I would probably be fired, There is a reason great chefs like Mike Anthony, and Thomas Keller don't do that, because it distracts from the ingredients and the cooking.

>>4118928
>2013
>still doing plebian cooking methods like pan frying

OP, why not sous vide it (use a slow cooker or even a thick pot with thermometer), then blowtorch it.

The surface doesnt even look that browned, the grey band is way too large, and the interior is undercooked.

>>4119578

You'd get fired because it's out of style, not because it's bad technique. Also,

>namedropping Thomas Keller

>>4119589
Tell me when was it in style? also bad technique.

>>4119594

All the way up to the 80's. You clearly don't know your shit.

and its 2013. there's a reason no chef does that in their establishment.

Cooking is not a fucking fashion show, and its treatment as such has lead to some of the worst trends, national habits, and even idiot-targeted cookware history has ever seen.

Not to decry anyone inparticular, even a lowly dishwasher, but when you insist upon something for the sole fact that someone else is doing it, you hurt everyone from the ignorant housewife to the actual industry workers.

>>4119615
But we're not talking about "cooking." We're talking culinary arts.

>>4119672
"We're" criticizing a picture of food without being able to determine flavor or aroma.

So fuck that.

How about from now on you fucking pieces of shit provide a recipe to what you fucking made before HURR DURR HOWD I DO

It's looks pretty, that's pretty much all I can say based on that image

>>4119686
>>4118967
Reading is fun.

I don't own a crock pot or the like. I grilled it in the pan because I thought it would be best out of what I have available.

I thought it tasted good, and believe me when I say I won't eat shit even if I made it. I'm self taught for the most part, so I've had plenty of failed experiments.

>>4118967
Can you explain to me how you know the deer was 6 1/2 years old? I've hunted for 20 years and I've never heard somebody judge a deer down the the half month.

>>4119722
*down to the half month.

>>4119722
They're born in the late spring to early fall, so based off that, currently they are half a year into their age in winter more or less.

So 6 years based on teeth, then the 1/2 year give or take. It's a pretty common thing in, Texas. Idk?

>>4119738
How many points did it have? Big spread or tall tined?

>>4119747
Scored 145 1/8 on a typical 8 frame. Mostly tine length and a lot of mass.

>raw deer
is that safe?

>>4119771
People eat raw beef don't they?

>>4119771
No, actually. All deer are immune to, but nevertheless carry anthrax. If just one person should eat improperly prepared venison, they risk creating an epidemic, killing millions.

Based on the details provided by the OP. I speculate that you have maybe a week to live. God save you.

How long did this rest for?

>>4118928
Damn it OP
I just passed up some venison steak in the supermarket earlier
That looks fantastic
Fuck!

I take shit for this but I like my steaks medium well. Aside from that, your plates are square. That makes me sigh.

that looks fucking amazing but try making a cranberry or lingon sauce to go with it! tastes good even with the potatoes! or and im not joking find a chocolat sauce recipe! the strong flavours of the chocolate really compliments a strong favloured meat like venison!

>>4119825
About 5 minutes, tented with foil.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

>>4118928

This has to be the loveliest dish I ever saw. If I had one wish in my life, it would be to eat that dish with my boyfriend.

It is the most beautiful plate I have ever seen in my entire life.

I would slit my wrists with tears in my eyes as I'd exhale my last breath, in resignation before the fear of never being able to sit to eat that dish.

It has to be the most glorious and epic thing I have ever seen.

It is on a par with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWlXU2DeYkQ

It is a dish so heavenly so as to make me pray the Gods for salvation.

>>4121084
Lol, now I know it sucks if it's getting trolled that hard.

>>4121415

It's sceak, he's probably at the end of a 3 day meth bender.

>>4118934
>>4118939
>>4119368
>>4119830
Once again, /ck/ shows how low it's standards are.

>wild game
>rare

Enjoy your parasites

>>4118928
Shits raw.

>>4121429
>It's sceak, he's probably at the end of a 3 day meth bender.

lol'd because truth

>>4121445
Which parasites?
>inb4 Lyme disease

>>4118928

Fuck off op meat is murder

do you think that deer wanted to be killed?

>>4121458
Wild game do carry parasites... do you not believe this?

I also had Lyme disease last summer, so fuck off man, too soon.

>>4121543
Fuck you that deer begged me to end his life. His wife was cheating on him with his best friend and his kids didn't respect him. He lost his job 5 years ago and was a miserable, lost, sad- ass bastard.

Also meat is delicious.

>>4121584
I'm not in a tick zone, but nice try. No diseases here.

>>4121543
>implying deer understand concepts like life and death

>>4121926
>Implying they don't by not taking into consideration the actions they take to run away from foxes and shit

>>4121894
Wild animals can have all kinds of nasties and I would go by the old standard for pork.

>>4121926
I'm pretty sure when they're being eaten alive any animal has a faint grasp of the concept.

>>4121969
The agricultural dept. down here is pretty strict on parasites, etc. and we do have red zones that require certain medicines to be sprayed.

Like I said, I'm in a clean area without any quarantines. But, I understand the concern.

>>4119776
so we can eat chicken raw too.
thats nice

Looks good OP, nice job

OP, if you were a woman, I would love you tenderly.

>>4124447
Unfortunately, I am a man. Not only that, but would you believe... a Mexican cooked that?

>>4124458
I hope it was Salma Hayek.

>>4124477
Nope, still just me.

>eating raw meat

Might as well eat jello.

>>4124586

Op's pic is not raw meat. Raw meat does not have a jello-like consistency. Rare meat has that property. You've never tasted raw meat before.

>>4124458
>>4124534
IDK, I learned in the army that all the best cooks are mexican housewives....

are you my latina waifu op

That looks thoroughly appealing and I would be your best friend if you gave me that for dinner.

cook the meat, think of the worms and bacteria that are still in that shit, might as well eat the bastard fully raw

>>4124947
this is why we should not be afraid of irradiation

>>4124959
Yes, because people will irradiate their wild game.
