Pheasant Ideas?

[Chrud]

What are some good ways to prepare a pheasant breast? I thought something like a pheasant stir fry would be good. What are some other ideas?

Re: Pheasant Ideas?

1) take strips of pheasant and wrap them with a slice of jalapena and bacon. Let them marinade in Italian Dressing at least 4 hours, but overnight is better. Grill them about 7 minutes on each side over medium flame.

2) take strips of pheasant and season with coarse black pepper and sea salt or kosher salt. Sautee with fresh garlic in olive oil and a little butter. Add a dry white wine and make a reduction. Then add a little flour to create a thin gravy. Cover and let simmer about 5 to 10 minutes.
