Why it works: Venison and pepper work together. They rank in the top 28% of all ingredient pairs, and cooks put them together in 955 recipes. Both carry trans-2-nonenal, which smells cardboard, fatty. The science ↓

What each ingredient does
- Venison neck
- Forms the main meat for the cutlets; its fat keeps the meat moist as it cooks.
The step that matters
Fry the cutlets until cooked to your liking. Venison is very lean, so it dries out quickly once past the target doneness. Frying only until the desired doneness is reached keeps the cutlets tender and juicy, and the fat left on the cutlets helps prevent drying.
