I came up with this recipe after my father-in-law gave us a bunch of deer meat. It covers the gamey flavor, so if you aren't into gaminess this recipe is perfect for you. Plus, it's fancy enough to serve to guests.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon ground sage

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided

  • 1 cup chopped Vidalia onion

  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms or baby bellas

  • 6 (3 ounce) venison tenderloin steaks

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup sherry

  • ¼ cup water

Directions

  1. Combine 1/2 cup flour, sage, salt, and pepper in a resealable bag, set aside. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pan over medium heat. Stir in onion and cook until almost soft. Add mushrooms, and continue cooking until soft. Remove from pan.

  2. Turn heat to medium-high and melt 2 tablespoons of butter in pan. Toss the venison steaks in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess. Sear venison in butter for 6 to 7 minutes per side and remove.

  3. Reduce heat to medium-low, and melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of flour, followed by the sherry and water. Return the vegetables and meat to the pan. Increase heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.
