Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Venison

    Pat the venison steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds. Cut the zucchini into half-moons. Clean the mushrooms and slice them.

  3. 3

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sear the Venison

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the venison steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the butter. Once melted, add the carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Add the minced garlic and thyme, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  3. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet, pour in the red wine and beef stock. Bring to a simmer and reduce by half. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Stir this into the sauce to thicken it.

  4. 7

    Combine

    Return the seared venison to the skillet to warm through in the sauce for 1-2 minutes. Serve the venison with the sautéed vegetables and drizzle the sauce over the top.
