The main way I've found to relieve "gamey" taste on venison is to let it soak in salt water and periodically drain bloody water and refill with water. I haven't found anyone yet that hasn't liked it after doing this. Also other ideas were good. Favorite Steak dish: do what I mentioned above, tenderize with tenderizing hammer etc. dip in flour and pan fry to brown. Then put it in cake like pan with campbells beefy mushroom soup and a few sliced onions then bake for about an hour. You can cut it with a fork and it is absolutely awesome with some fried potatoes. If they won't eat that, buy beef.
