Meat Instructions
- Trim off all fat and sinew from the meat and then use a sharp knife to cut it into small pieces about 1/4 inch thick.
- Use a meat tenderizer and pound out both sides of the meat and then lightly sprinkle one side of the meat with garlic salt.
- Mix together flour, salt, and pepper in a small container, and then coat each piece of meat on both sides.
- Melt 4 - 6 tablespoons of butter in a cast iron pan and then start frying the meat in batches over medium heat. Wait until you see blood start coming through and then flip the meat and cook it on the other side for a couple of minutes.
- Continue the process until all of the meat is finished and continue to add butter to the pan if the meat starts to stick or if the butter starts to cook away.
- After the last batch of meat is finished remove it from the pan and start making the gravy.
Gravy Instructions
- Turn the heat to low and add 2 - 4 tablespoons of flour to the remaining butter and meat drippings. If most of the butter has cooked away prior, you can add a couple of extra tablespoons of butter.
- Stir with a fork or whisk until all of the flour absorbs the butter mixture.
- Then add 2 cups of milk and continue stirring until it starts to simmer and thicken. If it's too thick add more milk or if you like the consistency remove it from the heat.
- Then serve the fried deer meat topped with gravy!
