Description
A gourmet yet comforting venison steak dish with a rich, decadent sauce of mushrooms, shallots, and cream.
Ingredients
- 2 venison steaks
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter.
- Season the venison steaks with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your preferred level of doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced shallot and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms are browned and the shallots are translucent.
- Stir in the Dijon mustard, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Let the mixture simmer until it reduces slightly.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir until well combined.
- Return the steaks to the skillet and coat them with the sauce.
- Serve the steaks hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect cooking. For a thicker sauce, let it reduce further before returning the steaks. Experiment with different herbs such as thyme or rosemary for added flavor.
