In wild game cooking, it’s a good idea to grind the tougher cuts of meat to make them more tender.  However, you will need to add some fat to the ground meat since venison is very lean. You can buy a grinder, like this electric meat grinder, to grind your own venison, or you can grind it yourself using a cleaver. It’s also possible to grind meat in a blender, but it’s best to do it a little bit at a time. Better yet, take your wild game meat to your local wild game processor and let them do this for you! They will grind the meat and add just the right amount of fat to the mix.
