Not necessarily Highland Venison
Misrepresentation It gives the impression that it is Highland Venison when it fact it could be NZ venison. The only connection to the Highlands is that is where it is packed. All hidden in small writing on the back of the label I'm reporting this to Trading standards and Advertising standards.
Disappointingly Bland
I cooked the steaks as per instructions for medium rare and rested, whilst they were juicy and tender to eat, the taste was bland; wild they maybe but not 'gamey'. Disappointing.

Bought this meat for a special occasion - I pan fried them and served with a porcini mushroom sauce and they were delicious.
Excellent
Very tender and no gristle.
Over seasoned
I love venison but these grill steaks tasted nothing like any venison I have ever had. Not unpleasant but over seasoned hiding the flavour of the meat. Gave the second one to the dogs who loved it, but they consider sheep poo edible.
Delicious steaks
Just had these steaks. Really good, succulent, tasty, not to gamey. Have just reordered.
Very poor quality
Very poor quality under the wrapper. There is another 'Venison Steaks' "from lean, tender succulent venison", on a different tray, but from the same company [Highland Game]. Get this latter one NOT the black tray one!
Ring the changes
Tender and juicy, not "gamey". Needed a fraction more cooking for our taste, but a good, flavoursome meal and a welcome change to the usual menu. Would like to see casserole venison too ... haven't seen packs for ages. And any chance of other varieties of game, Tesco?
Wild and fine
Excellent steaks. Thick, lean, and cooked well to instructions.
