KZNA-FM 90.5 serving northwest Kansas is operating at just 10% power using a back up transmitter while work continues to install a new transmitter. It is hoped that this work will completed within the next few days with KZNA back to its full 100,000 watts of power with a state of the art transmitter to serve the area for many years to come.
If you can't receive KZNA at its reduced power, you can listen via the digital stream directly above or on the HPPR mobile app. For questions please contact station staff at (800) 678-7444 or by emailing hppr@hppr.org

Easy One Skillet Venison

Grab your cast iron skillet with a lid, and get ready to make an entire meal with venison in one pan.

  • Melt 3/4 stick of  unsalted, real butter in the cast iron skillet
  • Season venison steak with your favorite seasoning
  • Brown over medium heat
  • Reduce flame to a simmer level
  • Add several carrots, but in quarters, lengthwise.  You can put the carrots under the meat, because it will take longer for them to cook.
  • Put lid on skillet and cook for 15 minutes.  You may need to add a small amount of water, but do not cover the meat with water.
  • Add one large onion
  • Cover and cook for 15 minutes
  • Stir well, deglazing bottom of the pan
  • Add more water, bring content to a boil. 
  • You may add potatoes or egg noodles, as well as water to cover content.
  • Cook for an additional 20 minutes until noodles or potatoes are done.
