Pan Fried Venison in Red Wine Sauce

Ok Guys & Gal’s lets get cooking!

First let’s break down what were going to need:

2 Venison Steaks
New Potatoes
Asparagus
Baby Carrots
2 Cloves of Garlic
Rock Salt & Cracked Pepper
Ground Nut Oil
Butter

















Extremely tasty and healthy. Venison is a lean, juicy and gamey meat. This meal is extremely simple but the natural flavours of the ingredients will really get your taste buds going!

Ok firstly we are going to need to prepare the vegetables for sautéing. Cut the potatoes into slices and chop off the bottom part of the asparagus (about 4 inches from the tip). Boil some water and put both the carrots and potatoes in. After about 7-10 minutes depending on the size of the vegetables (mine was 7 minutes but you may want to use larger vegetables) add the asparagus and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Once the vegetables are par boiled you can transfer them to a bowl. If you only have one frying pan then I suggest sautéing the vegetables in a large sauce pan. Heat a knob of butter in a pan and add some finely chopped garlic, once melted throw in the vegetables and leave them on a medium heat, tossing or stirring regularly. Be sure to keep an eye on them as butter can easily burn.


As the vegetables are sautéing you can cook the venison. First season them with some salt & pepper. Heat some ground nut oil in either a small frying pan or grill-pan. Place the venison steaks into the pan and cook them on a high heat for 2 minutes on each side. This will give you a medium rare steak. Add a further minute each side to increase to medium, this meat is best eaten with a pink middle. Towards the end add a knob of butter to the pan and spoon over the venison several times. Take the steaks out of the pan and let them rest on a warm plate.


Poor away any excess oil/butter from you frying pan/grill pan and add about 150ml of red wine and a crushed clove of garlic to the pan. Return to the heat and simmer this whilst you finish the vegetables. Season to taste.










Put the vegetables onto the plate and place the venison on top. Spoon on some of the red wine sauce and enjoy!
