This Mouthwatering Venison Will Be Your New Favorite Kitchen Staple
This weekend was a mouthwatering one, as I continued to perfect a few tactics I learned while finishing up the writing of the newly available Boundless Kitchen cookbook.
I scored some Maui Nui venison from some of the best-tasting wild game meat on the planet: axis deer. In this case…
…rib chop…
…leg medallions…
…and a couple of grass-finished venison Tomahawk Steaks from Force of Nature meats…
…along with black Urfa chili from the ancient southeast town of Urfa, Turkey; Afghanistan foraged wild cumin; vine-ripened black peppercorns; Vietnamese cinnamon; and artisanal apple balsamic vinegar — all from my friend and former podcast guest TJ Robinson (check out his new vinegars, herbs, and spices by becoming a member of his EVOO club here for literally $1).
Maui Nui venison is SO tasty and so easy to cook that this recipe was quite simple:
- Marinade the cuts in apple balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil for four hours
- Save the marinade for a step later on, remove the meat, and dry the meat
- Cross-hatch and rub down the meat with the black chili, cumin, cinnamon, and peppercorns
- Throw into the frying pan with butter and cook until a temp probe reads 125°F
- Let the meat rest for five minutes, and while it is resting, deglaze the pan and the fried bits with the leftover vinegar marinade
Yum!
Anybody else out there a fan of axis deer venison? If so, how do you like to cook it? I love to hear from my readers about their preferred ways of preparing it. :)

Product Of The Week
::: Snag A Free Trial Of Quantum Upgrade To Help With Energy, Sleep, And More :::
I’ve been on this health and fitness journey for a long time.
And during the course of this journey, I’ve discovered a lot of “health and wellness” products ranging from “woo-woo too-good-to-be-true” to “I’ve gotta have this, and people gotta know about it *right now.*”
Similar to how I’ve embraced innovative supplements and tech wearables through the years, there's another frontier to explore — energy, specifically quantum energy.
Some people think the idea of quantum energy is ridiculous. To be transparent, I can't fully quantify or measure these quantum frequencies scientifically because I don't have access to a physics lab or visualization cameras. But I can say that since integrating more quantum medicine into my routine, based on several podcasts I’ve recorded over the past year on this emerging science, I feel remarkably good, and I think science is going to be revealing a LOT about these so-called “invisible energies” over the next several years. It’s a hot topic for sure.
My HRV and sleep scores are through the roof, and I've been rising early, full of energy, often before my alarm sounds. It may be a placebo effect, but I think the quantum energy in these devices is energizing human cells like a battery. While I don't have the tools to validate that scientifically, my personal experience speaks for itself.
I feel better than I have in years after making this small addition to my wellness protocol.
Obviously, it's important to choose the right product, but my top pick is Quantum Upgrade and its sister company Leela Quantum Tech. I’ve had the mastermind behind Leela Quantum Tech on my podcast a couple of times, too, and I know you’ll find our talks incredibly interesting.
One great benefit of Quantum Upgrade is enhancing ATP production. ATP is the cellular energy our bodies produce, so more ATP means a more energetic and productive body.
Studies show Quantum Upgrade can increase ATP by 20–29%, significantly impacting physical performance and well-being. They also work on neutralizing electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs), even in high exposure like on a plane.
These frequencies cause stress and fatigue from electronic devices like phones and laptops, which is why you may frequently see me wearing a shiny brass capsule dangling around my neck (called a “H.E.A.L. ® Capsule”).
Many world-class athletes use Quantum Upgrade and have seen tremendous results, from enhanced focus and energy to better recovery times. I can comfortably say that I’ve personally experienced these same results, and maybe you will, too.
Quantum Upgrade can take physical performance to new heights.
To support exploring knowledge and balance, I've partnered with Quantum Upgrade. If interested in trying it, just click here and use code BEN15 for a 15-day free trial.
