Gosh it's a long time since I cooked it, but I used to "paint" it with crushed garlic, leave for an hour or so, then cook it ina bit of butter in the electric frypan turned to the highest possible heat. Obviously it only needs a very short time on each side (and you daren't turn your back on it!!)
But I'm no expert and others will probably have better methods....mine did taste good tho' LOL

So treat it like beef rump steak?Never even eaten venison before so don't want to bugger it up!

I seem to recall venison is a different texture to beef rump...the garlic breaks down the fibres besides being a great flavour to compliment the venison (which doesn't really taste a lot like beef)

BTW I don't think you'll bugger it up ...just don't be tempted to overcook it...do it really fast and really hot and just turn it once.

Veejay is quite correct venison is dark and very lean meat so cook as rare as you dare. Garlic is good though not essential so is cracked pepper etc. I cook it occasionally Rump is not the best cut though it is good and can be spectacular as long as not overcooked.

Whenever my lot bring home a Venison, I just add a chopped onion and a slash of soya sauce, leave it for at least an hr then, cook as normal, I alway cook ours rare, I put salt and pepper on after the first turn,

I think it depends on whether its farmed or wild.But both need either long slow cooking or extremely quick cooking - as long as you like your meat still twitching.Nothing in between.
