VENISON CHOPS WITH MUSHROOM ONION GRAVY RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine sugar and soy sauce into a medium-size bowl. Toss the venison in the mixture coat and marinate 30 minutes to one hour; tossing occasionally.
• While venison is marinating place ¼ cup beef broth into a small microwaveable bowl along with the dried mushrooms. Microwave for about 1 minute or until mixture is steaming, cover, and let the mushrooms set until softened. Place a coffee filter into a strainer and drain the liquid though the filter. Reserve the liquid, chop the mushrooms and set them aside separately.
• Drain any leftover marinate from the chops if necessary. Season the chops with ½ teaspoon pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat using 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil cook the chops until well browned and almost done. Remove the chops to a platter and set aside.
• In the same skillet over medium-high heat add the other tablespoon of oil, white mushrooms, minced shiitake mushrooms, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook string frequently until all liquid is evaporated and mushrooms start to brown. Add the onion and another ¼ teaspoon salt to the mushroom mixture and cook stirring frequently until onion is soft, and starts to brown.
• Add the flour, garlic, thyme, and continue cooking and stirring until mixture is coated with the flour. Add the remaining broth, and the liquid set aside from the dried mushrooms. Stir to release any dripping from the bottom of the pan. Arrange the chops into the onion and mushrooms along with any juices that settled on the bottom of the platter. Cook over medium-low heat until juices have thickened and chops are cooked to desired doneness. (When I browned the chops I cooked them to the desired done-ness I wanted so they just had to be heated through in the mushroom-onion mixture)
• Serve over noodles or mashed potatoes

THE MERCHANT OF VENISON CHOPS WITH RED WINE MUSHROOM SAUCE AND BULGUR PORRIDGE

Steps:

• Rinse venison chops and pat dry with paper towels. In a coffee grinder dedicated to spices or with a mortar and pestle, grind the juniper berries, coriander seeds, star anise, salt and peppercorns together into a powder. Rub all sides of the chops with the spice mixture. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large saute pan (deep enough to accommodate the chops and sauce) and sear the chops, leaving undisturbed for 2 minutes on each side to allow the spices to integrate into the surface of the meat. Remove chops to a utility platter.
• In the same pan, over medium-high heat, saute the shallots until translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until they give up their juices. Add the wine and let cook for about 5 minutes. Then reduce heat to medium-low, return the chops to the pan, cover, and let cook until the chops are tender, about 35 minutes. Transfer the chops to a platter and increase the heat under the pan of mushrooms and sauce and allow to reduce by two-thirds.
• While the chops are cooking and the sauce is reducing, prepare the bulgur porridge which was traditionally served with venison as a digestive aid. Because it is pre-steamed, it can be soaked in boiling water to make it meal-ready. Put bulgur and salt in a mixing bowl. Add 2 1/2 cups boiling water, cover and let stand for 30 minutes.
• To serve, place some bulgur porridge in the middle of each serving plate. Top with a venison chop and spoon mushrooms and sauce over and around.

VENISON WITH SHERRY-MUSHROOM SAUCE

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

VENISON WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY ROAST

Steps:

• Pan fry the venison (slowly with a low flame) in a lightly buttered pan until well browned. (I thoroughly cook my venison, and apply butter coatings to top sides to prevent drying the meat as it cooks. However, you can cook to your own preferences -- keep in mind this is a wild dish, hence my thorough initial cooking).
• Add 1 tablespoons butter to separate pan to sauté following 4 ingredients (yellow onions through mushrooms). Sauté yellow onions in pan first, this will allow caramelization, and a full rich flavour of onions. After onions become tender, add the green pepper, red pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté all ingredients above until tender, and onions are slightly caramelized. Add 1/4 cup chopped green onions to sauté pan and simmer 1-2 more minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• After all ingredients are sautéed, remove from heat and place 1/2 evenly into a casserole dish creating a layer across the bottom of the dish. After tenderloins are cooked, remove from pan, and place on top of the bed of sautéed vegetables. Cover tenderloin with the remaining sautéed vegetables. Finally cover everything evenly with 2 cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup. The soups will create a wonderful gravy as it is cooked in the oven. Cover casserole dish with foil, and place into preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes, or until gravy is slightly golden brown.
• Remove from oven when finished and garnish with remaining 1/4 cup chopped green onions. Serve immediately to awaiting guests and family members!
