Venison Bulgogi
Usually made using beef, recipe creator @keithcooks instead opts for in-season venison haunch steaks for this flavourful recipe. Bulgogi translates to 'fire meat' but if you're scared of spice, don't panic it actually relates to how it is cooked on a hot pan or skillet.

WHO ARE THE ORGANIC BUTCHERY?
Starting life as an organic farm in the heart of the West Country, The Organic Butchery is proudly founded on a long history of organic principles. We source the best quality organic grass-fed and wild meats, sustainable fish and organic free-range poultry from trusted local suppliers and like-minded brands to guarantee the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental stewardship. Our mission is to approach butchery with a whole-carcass perspective, to make the most of every animal that crosses our blocks, which means we offer you cuts that you will never see on the supermarket shelves.
WHAT IS WILD VENISON?
With a reputation for being one of the most planet-friendly meats, wild venison is as sustainable as it gets. Our wild venison is sustainably sourced from south west woodlands, humanely shot with lead-free bullets. This means it never enters the abattoir, reducing the carbon emissions created when transporting and slaughtering meat. Rich in flavour and beautifully tender from the wild lifestyle the deer lead, wild venison is one of our favourite meats.

Frequently asked questions
-
Typically, game meat is the flesh of land mammals or birds, that are hunted for food instead of being raised on a farm. Game meat includes, ‘small birds’ such as quail, ‘winged game’ such as woodcock, grouse or partridge, ‘ground game’ such as rabbit or hare and ‘large game’ such as venison.
-
Most game is only available during the autumn and winter, during the shooting season, this is followed by the ‘closed season’ when shooting is no longer allowed, this is essential for protecting animals when they are breeding and rearing their young. However, some game does not have a ‘closed season’, these game meats include rabbit and pigeon. At Coombe Farm Organic we freeze our game meat, making it available to you the consumer all year round.
-
Game meat is one of the healthiest meats available, it is very low in fat and cholesterol, generally higher in protein, and very lean as wild game are able to walk and roam freely, therefore not storing much fat.
