You definitely can use venison instead of ground beef, but bear in mind – venison is leaner than beef, so other than the obvious flavor different between the two, you might need to add a splash of oil to make them similar in texture to the ground beef version.

I want to use ground venison instead of beef. Do I need to alter any other ingredients for that?

This is an absolute favorite 😍 definitely making this again.

Simple recipe that came out great! Both of my kids are picky eaters and they loved it.

I made this recipe tonight. It was tasty. My only issue was with the flour on the patty. It made for a nice crust but it lost the caramelized flavor that would normally happen without the flour. Maybe I had too much flour. This was the first time making onion gravy and my family loved it. Overall, it was a good experience.

This has my family’s name written all over it! It was SO yummy!

Thanks a lot for this amazing recipe! Highly recommended! Will surely make this again!

Yum! I grew up eating hamburger steak and it is still one of my favorites! Made this last night and it was delicious! Thanks for sharing!

Your photography glow-up was real!! Thanks for sharing the original photo – as a blogger myself I can appreciate the progress! I’m adding this recipe to my weekly meal plan – can’t wait to make it. Looks delicious already though and the recipe looks very clear and easy to follow.

This was a huge hit! It was absolutely delicious. I made it last week and it was so good I had to make it tonight. I craved it. Thank you for publishing this awesome recipe!
