Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Venison Haunch Steaks
  • For the Sauce: 1 small onion
  • 150 g dark seedless grapes
  • 240 ml red wine
  • 50 g raisins
  • 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • ½ tsp demerera sugar

Method
 

  1. First make the sauce: Peel and chop the onion. Halve the grapes.
  2. Pour the wine into a small saucepan and put over a low heat. Add the other ingredients, stir and gently bring to a simmer. Cook uncovered for about 35 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until it reduces by about ⅔ rds.
  3. Season the venison steaks on both sides with salt and pepper then rub in a little sunflower or rapeseed oil.
  4. Put the griddle pan over a high heat quickly to seal both sides of each steak then turn down and cook for about 3 (rare) or 4 (medium) minutes on each side.
  5. Pour over the sauce, mix with the meat juices. Serve with the vegetables of your choice and a mash - mashed potato & fennel goes very nicely with it.
