Yes, steam lightly as journeyman said. I also don't use the fat end, too tough.
I have a stir fry one that is really good too. Not quite as good, but really easy to cook in a hurry, and only takes one pan, a wok. I'll find it and post.
Here's another in the mean time.
High-Country Buttermilk Venison
4 backstrap or sirloin tip steaks (aged)
1 cup butter milk
olive oil
flour (will salt and lots of pepper)
Cut the steaks into one-inch cubes, then pound each with a meat hammer to a half inch. Place meat in a bowl, cover with buttermil, and allow meat to soak for at leasttwo hours, over night is better. Then dredge the peices of venison in flour and pan fry. I added to this recipe a trick that my wife uses with chicken; pull the steak out of the frying pan as soon as the batter is seared. Re-dredge through flour and fry for about 30 seconds on each side.
Serve with whatever you like, and you can make an easy gravy out of the oil/drippings by adding corn starch and milk...
I cooked this one outside this year after a few days of hunting/camping and it was really good, but what isn't when you're cold and hungry!

By the way, if you don't know how to make gravy, learn!
Fry small peice of deer liver (same size as a chicken liver) and dice up really small. This is critical, even if you don't like liver, trust me, the gravy will have a great taste and no one will even know it is in there. For the record, I don't like liver either.
Add milk, and liverto drippings. In seperate container mix cold/cool milk with corn starch and stir/mix well. Add mixture to the pan and don't stop stirring. Bring to a boil and then set on low and keep stirring. Add more milk to thin, or more mixed milk and corn starch to thicken. Never add dry corn starch directly to the gravy, unless you want lumps! Salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.

I’ll take that as a compliment…
I tell you what though; once I learned how to properly cook venison and came up with some good recipes… I salivate just looking at the first deer of the season! Sad part is, I only killed two deer this season, and I have one small serving left... Next year, they're in trouble! Not passing on any more doe...
