East Coasters know a thing or two about cheesesteaks. It's a Pat's or Geno's type of thing over there. (If you're really smart, it's Joe's or bust.) What Pat's, Geno's, and Joe's don't do, however, is go beyond the beef. That is to say, a true Philadelphia cheesesteak sticks to beef-based protein. Field & Stream is challenging the notion that cheesesteak is strictly beef, though. They're ditching the cow in favor of some wild game. Move over beef, venison cheesesteaks are in town.

The recipe starts with fresh venison steaks. In a crazy turn of events, you're actually supposed to freeze the fresh steaks for about 30 minutes. No, they won't turn into ice cubes, but we were still a tad surprised to see this step. The Field & Stream pro-tip is that this will make the meat easier to slice.
