Venison steaks with red wine blue cheese sauce
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 6 venison loin steaks about 1/2 inch thick. Use more or less steaks depending on size of steaks. I usually use about 4 oz steaks.
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil, important to use olive oil as it cooks at higher temperatures without burning
- 1/2 cup red wine, i use whatever i have, usually a cab or merlot.
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp marjoram
- 1/2 tsp beef bouillon granules, chicken bouillon works fine also.
- 4 oz crumbled blue cheese
- In shallow dish, combine flour, salt and pepper.
- Dredge steaks in flour mixture to coat.
- In 12 inch non stick skillet/pan, heat 2 tbs.
- butter and olive oil over medium heat.
- When butter and oil is heated, add steaks and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until desired doneness, turning steaks once.
- (keep in mind venison is always best if cooked to medium or under, but any doneness will be delicious with this dish)
- Transfer steaks to warm platter and cover to keep warm.
- To same skillet/pan, add wine, onion, water, marjoram, and bouillon.
- (I usually have this mixture already combined in a container so I can quickly add ingredients to skillet/pan all at once for this step)
- Cook over medium heat until reduced by half, stirring constantly.
- Add remaining butter and blue cheese.
- Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until sauce is smooth and blue cheese is melted, stirring constantly.
- Spoon sauce over steaks.
- And serve with side and veggie of your choice.
- I serve mine with garlic mashed potatoes and a fresh veggie, usually asparagus cooked with a light coat of oil and salt and pepper.
