Wild Game Dish Pairing

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Venison

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Add the venison steaks and coat them well. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Cook the Venison

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the venison from the marinade and discard the marinade. Add the steaks to the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Deglaze the Pan

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest. Pour the red wine into the skillet and scrape the bottom to deglaze, cooking for about 2 minutes until slightly reduced.

  4. 4

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in butter and simmer for another minute until the sauce is glossy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the venison and serve it drizzled with the red wine sauce. This dish pairs wonderfully with a glass of 2022 Montepulciano.
