One of my favorites! Venison Backstrap with a whiskey peopercorn sauce Ingredients 1 pound Venison Backstrap Salt & Black Pepper Whiskey Peppercorn Sauce 1 tablespoon Butter 1 small Shallot, Finely Diced 3 Garlic Cloves, Minced or Finely Diced ¼ cup Whiskey 1 tablespoon Crushed Peppercorns ½ cup Beef Broth ½ cup Heavy Cream 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard For Serving French Fries, For Serving (Optional) Fresh Parsley, To Garnish (Optional) Recipe Directions 1. Remove your backstrap from the fridge and allow it to sit out at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. Trim the backstrap of any silver skin then pat dry using paper towels. Season well with salt and black pepper on both sides. 2. Preheat a cast iron skillet on your stove over medium high heat. Add a small amount of oil into your skillet. Once warmed, place the venison backstrap into the skillet. Allow the backstrap to sit undisturbed for 5 minutes prior to the first flip. Then sear on all remaining sides until cooked to your desired internal temperature. I like to cook until the internal temperature reaches 130-135 degrees. The exact cooking time will depend on how thick your backstrap is. Remove the backstrap to a plate and lightly tent with foil. 3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add in butter and once it’s melted, add in shallots and cook until the shallots are soft, about 3 minutes. 4. Add in whiskey and stir until it's reduced by half. 5. Whisk in remaining ingredients and cook for just a few minutes until thickened. 6. After the venison has rested for 5 minutes, remove the foil and slice. Serve with whiskey peppercorn sauce drizzled over top, garnished with fresh parsley. #venison #wildgame
