Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Venison

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Rub the mixture onto the venison loin. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Roasted Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic, salt, black pepper, and rosemary. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes or until golden.

  3. 3

    Blanch the Vegetables

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add baby carrots and green beans, and blanch for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.

  4. 4

    Make the Salsa Verde

    In a food processor, combine carrot tops, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth. Stir in chopped hazelnuts.

Grilling

  1. 5

    Grill the Venison

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated venison loin for about 6-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  2. 6

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the blanched baby carrots and green beans. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until heated through. Season with salt to taste.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, arrange slices of grilled venison alongside roasted potatoes, sautéed vegetables, and a generous drizzle of carrot top salsa verde. Garnish with shaved summer truffle.
