Venison with Blueberries

By linda1949

Ingredients

• Sauce:
• 4 1/2 oz. blueberries
• 3 tablespoons white wine or sherry
• pinch sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon butter
• Venison:
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 venison steaks

Preparation

Step 1

For the sauce, set aside 4-6 blueberries for garnish and place the remaining blueberries in a small heavy-based pan with wine or sherry and sugar.

Simmer over a low heat for about 10 minutes, until the blueberries reach a mushy consistency. Add the vinegar, orange juice and salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir in the butter and keep the sauce warm.

While the sauce is simmering, prepare the venison. In a frying pan, melt the butter and oil over a medium heat and add the venison to the pan. Fry the venison for 3-5 minutes on each side, until cooked to your liking. Leave the venison to rest in a warm place for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Place the venison steaks on tow plates, spoon over the sauce and garnish with the remaining blueberries. Serve immediately.
