There are some foods that instantly take you back home, and for me, venison is one of them. Growing up in Wisconsin, venison was simply part of life. But somewhere along the way, I lost my connection to preparing and cooking it. That all changed when our son became old enough to start hunting and suddenly our freezer was stocked with venison once again.
The only problem? I wasn't exactly sure what to do with it.
With fresh garlic scapes, cilantro, and lettuce overflowing in the garden, I started wondering if venison steaks could become taco night. After a simple marinade and a few hours of soaking up flavor, the steaks went onto the smoker and came off tender, juicy, and absolutely incredible.
Y'all, these tacos were a huge hit.
In fact, the best part might have been that nobody in my family realized they were eating venison instead of beef. Now, I don't typically set out to trick my family, but they didn't ask and I wasn't volunteering the information! By the time supper was over, everyone was asking for seconds.
These Venison Steak Tacos combine the rich flavor of smoked venison with fresh garden ingredients and all the toppings you love. Wrapped in a warm corn tortilla, they're the perfect blend of garden harvest and wild game—a farm-to-table meal that brings family, tradition, and great food together around the table.
