Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Venison

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the venison loin with salt, black pepper, and truffle oil. Sear in a hot skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roast the Venison

    Transfer the seared venison to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes or until it reaches your desired doneness (medium-rare is recommended). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and sauté the shiitake mushrooms and pearl onions until tender and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add fresh thyme and cook for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Prepare Huckleberry Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine huckleberries with a splash of water and cook over medium heat until they break down and become saucy, about 5-10 minutes. Add salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the venison and arrange it on plates. Top with sautéed shiitake and pearl onions, drizzle with huckleberry sauce, and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
