Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 venison cutlets
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
- Season the venison cutlets with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the seasoned venison cutlets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness. Remove the cutlets from the skillet and set aside to rest.
- In the same skillet, add the finely chopped shallot and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of red wine and 1/4 cup of beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.
- Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes until it has reduced by half.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves, allowing the butter to melt and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Return the venison cutlets to the skillet, turning to coat them in the red wine reduction sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the cutlets through.
- Serve the venison cutlets with the red wine reduction sauce spooned over the top. Enjoy!
