As H.D. Thoreau said: "Simplify, simplify!" Time to share a favorite recipe, especially for my CES friend, Jed Gibbons, who asked for an idea for this cut of venison, and Nanette may like this, too. Gibbons, who is a heart-of-the-city dweller, is fortunate to have relatives who give him the outstanding wild meats - and thereby save Jed about $16.00+ a pound for a gourmet protein.

OK, lucky guy and gal, try this with your venison or elk loin steaks!

Cost per recipe $6.96 view details
  • FOR THE STEAKS:
  • 6 venison loin steaks , about 3/4 inch thick (I'm doing venison tenderloin, or 'backstrap', which also works)
  • kosher salt
  • Pepper, fresh, cracked & black
  • 4 T sweet butter
  • FOR THE APRICOT SAUCE:
  • 1/2 C grainy brown mustard
  • 1/3 C good apricot jam
  • 1/4 brandy

  1. FOR THE STEAKS:
  2. Heat a cast iron skillet on med-high to sear the venison
  3. Sprinkle some kosher salt on the skillet and lay in the steaks
  4. DO NOT OVERCOOK - remember that venison is very lean and will get tough if overcooked. Rare to medium-rare is correct
  5. When the first side is browned, turn the meat after again first sprinkling the pan again with salt
  6. Grind the cracked black pepper on the meat
  7. Sear the second side for just a couple of minutes
  8. Add 1 T of butter to the top of each steak, allowing it to melt while it is still in the pan
  9. Serve on Apricot Mustard Sauce
  10. Granish with glazed grapes
  11. APRICOT MUSTARD SAUCE
  12. As the steaks cook, combine the jam, mustard and brandy in a small sauce pan over medium heat and integrate well. Lay a spoonful on each plate, lay a steak onto the jam, then drizzle some sauce onto the steak.

    Oh wow, I love elk meat! This looks really fabulous, Amos! How do you think this would work with buffalo meat?

      I used this recipe with venison today. I did substitute soy sauce for the brandy and I marinated the venison in it prior to cooking. It was so good. While the venison was cooking I heated some of the sauce with butter to use to plate the meat. Excellent! Going to use it on feral hog next. Thank you for sharing.

        No question, A.L. Buffalo, ostrich, elk, caribou, venison - all the lean, dark meats will hold up well. I am glad you like the recipe! - best, Amos
