Description
What's the best fat to add to deer meat? We put beef fat, Wagyu beef fat, bison fat, pork fat, bacon, and straight venison head-to-head to find out.
We start with an Ohio whitetail buck, break down the carcass, debone it, and grind a 2 lb batch with each fat. Along the way, Seth and Scott share the tips we use every season to get deer meat ready for grinding: trimming silver skin, getting blood from the shot out of the meat, keeping everything cold, and more. Then Hannah takes over at the grill, cooks a burger from every batch, and we taste them all to settle it: which fat makes the best deer burger?
Whether you process your own deer or take it to a butcher, this will help you decide what to ask for before your next grind.
