Sometimes the gamey flavor of venison can be intense and overpower your dish. To alleviate this gameness, try soaking your venison in milk.

Milk contains the protein known as casein, which is attracted to fat molecules. When the casein binds to the fats in meat, it holds onto them like a sponge.
All you need is milk, a large container or bowl, and your cuts of meat. Once the meat has soaked overnight, rinse it off to further remove the gamey taste.
