Our friends Jamie and Amy gave us a hefty bag of deer meat the other day. My dad has always been a hunter, so I am familiar with venison. God, I love venison. It is so lean, and tasty. I will use it with ANY dish that usually calls for beef.
Venison (marinated)
1 leek (sliced lengthwise and then chopped)
1/4 green pepper
1/4 yellow pepper
1/4 orange pepper
1/4 red onion
2 cups fresh spinach
1 clove garlic
So, I marinated my little venison steaks in olive oil, fresh lemon juice, chopped basil, and "Dales" Steak Seasoning. It looks a little like soy sauce but tastes much better. I made brown rice to accompany my venison handiwork and while that cooked, I washed and chopped all my veggies. I left the meat marinating until the very last minute. I started sauteing my onions and garlic first and added my peppers last. In a separate pan, I cooked the venison (in the marinade) and finally, added the leeks. I transferred the veggies into the meat pan, mixed it all together and dropped the fresh spinach in.
I prefer my venison medium rare to rare so I didn't cook it too long. Just until it was perfect!
It was de-LIC-ious....
