Roast Saddle Of Venison With Wild Mushroom Cream Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Put cleaned meat in slow cooker and cover with onion. Sprinkle with soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl combine the soup mix and the soup; mix together and pour mixture over venison. Cook on Low setting for 6 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220°C/425°F/Gas Mark 7.
• Rub lard or duck fat on meaty side of saddle.
• Season the saddle generously with salt and pepper.
• Cover with ham slices and put on roasting tray and put it in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• Lower oven to 150°C/300°F/Gas Mark 3.
• Add wine and broth to roasting tray and roast for 10 minutes per 500g for medium-rare to medium. The temperature of the thickest part should 60-65°C/135-145°F.
• While that the saddle is roasting, saute lightly the shallot and mushrooms in butter on medium heat and set aside.
• When the saddle is ready, remove from oven and remove the ham and cover in foil, leaving for 20 minutes.
• Pour the juices and wine from roasting pan into a sauce pan on high heat.
• Mix cold water and starch and add to the sauce pan.
• Bring to a boil and allow sauce to thicken.
• After sauce thickens, put temperature to low, add cream and wild mushrooms mix and cook until warm.
• Crumble the ham into the sauce and taste and add salt and pepper as necessary.
• Serve with hot dumplings, potatoes or rice and a salad.

Steps:

• Soak the dried mushrooms in 100ml hot water for 10 mins until soft, then drain, reserving the liquid, roughly chop and set aside. Season the steaks with lots of pepper and a little salt. Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan until foaming, then cook the steaks for 2 mins on each side for medium rare or longer to your liking. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
• In the same pan, fry the shallot, then add the drained mushrooms and cook until lightly browned. Splash in the Sherry, then add the porcini liquid, balsamic vinegar and the cream, and simmer down to make a thick, creamy sauce. Put the steaks and their juices back in the pan, spoon over the sauce and serve with mash.

Steps:

• Trim the saddle to remove any nerves or bits of fat.
• Put the saddle in a reasonably deep stainless steel or enamel utensil just large enough to hold it compactly. Add the onions, garlic, thyme, rosemary, carrot, celery, ginger, peppercorns, juniper berries, red wine, one and one-half cups of port wine and cinnamon stick. The surface of the meat should be covered with the marinade. Refrigerate one or two days. The longer the meat stands, the more gamy the taste will be.
• Remove the saddle of venison, but reserve the marinade with vegetables. Strain the marinade but reserve separately the liquid and vegetables.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Sprinkle the drained saddle with the one tablespoon of ground pepper and salt to taste.
• Heat the olive oil in a heavy roasting pan large enough to accommodate the saddle of venison. Brown the meat on both sides, about five minutes. Scatter the reserved vegetables around the meat and place the roasting pan in the oven. Bake 30 minutes. Turn the meat to the opposite side and bake 30 minutes or until the meat is medium rare. If you want the meat more fully cooked, let it bake an additional 15 minutes or longer. To test for doneness, insert a thin metal skewer inside the hollow part (the spinal cord) of the spine. Remove the skewer and press it to your lips. If it is nicely warm, the meat is medium rare. If it is hot, the meat is well done. Transfer the meat to a warm platter.
• Place the roasting pan over medium heat and add the reserved marinating liquid. Bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the pan. Cook about 10 minutes and pour the sauce and reserved vegetables into a casserole or deep skillet. Let simmer slowly about one-half hour. Add the cream and remaining cup of port wine and bring to the boil. Let cook about 15 minutes or until the sauce is slightly thickened.
• Line a saucepan with a sieve, preferably of the sort known in French kitchens as a chinois. Pour the sauce and solids into the sieve, pressing to extract as much liquid and flavor as possible from the solids. Discard the solids.
• Bring the sauce to the boil and swirl in the butter.
• Add salt and pepper and stir in the jelly. Carve the meat and serve with a little of the sauce spooned over each serving. Serve with mashed potatoes, if desired.

Steps:

• Pan fry the venison (slowly with a low flame) in a lightly buttered pan until well browned. (I thoroughly cook my venison, and apply butter coatings to top sides to prevent drying the meat as it cooks. However, you can cook to your own preferences -- keep in mind this is a wild dish, hence my thorough initial cooking).
• Add 1 tablespoons butter to separate pan to sauté following 4 ingredients (yellow onions through mushrooms). Sauté yellow onions in pan first, this will allow caramelization, and a full rich flavour of onions. After onions become tender, add the green pepper, red pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté all ingredients above until tender, and onions are slightly caramelized. Add 1/4 cup chopped green onions to sauté pan and simmer 1-2 more minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• After all ingredients are sautéed, remove from heat and place 1/2 evenly into a casserole dish creating a layer across the bottom of the dish. After tenderloins are cooked, remove from pan, and place on top of the bed of sautéed vegetables. Cover tenderloin with the remaining sautéed vegetables. Finally cover everything evenly with 2 cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup. The soups will create a wonderful gravy as it is cooked in the oven. Cover casserole dish with foil, and place into preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes, or until gravy is slightly golden brown.
• Remove from oven when finished and garnish with remaining 1/4 cup chopped green onions. Serve immediately to awaiting guests and family members!

Steps:

• 1. Mix the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge the meat in the seasoned flour. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the venison for 2 minutes per side, and then transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
• 2. Reduce the heat in the skillet to medium, add the shallots and garlic, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the mushrooms and sauté for about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste. Add the wine and chicken broth, raise heat to medium-high, and cook for 1 minute more. Return the meat to the pan and simmer until heated, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
