Print Recipe

Servings: 2
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound of venison loin
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • Freshly cracked pepper, to taste
  • 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms, your choice
  • Quarter of an onion, chopped
  • 1 ounce of whisky
  • About 1½ cups of heavy whipping cream, separated

Preparation & Directions:

  1. Take meat out of the refrigerator 2 hours prior to cooking. Cut into 2-inch thick medallions and season with salt.
  2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Heat oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan. Pat venison medallions completely dry with paper towels, and salt again if desired. When butter and oil become hot, brown meat on both sides for a good crust. Transfer venison to a cool rimmed cookie sheet and sprinkle with cracked pepper. Bake in a 300-degree oven until internal temperature reaches 127 degrees, about 5-7 minutes, for medium rare. Take meat out of the oven and loosely tent with foil. Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
  3. While the venison is in the oven, in the same pan where the venison was browned, add more oil to the pan and brown sliced mushrooms over medium-high heat. Then add onion and sauté until softened. Carefully stir in Irish whisky and allow to simmer until almost completely evaporated. Adjust heat to low and stir in 3/4 cup of heavy cream. Simmer until thickened, stirring often. Season to taste. Serve venison with mushroom cream sauce and sides such as roasted root vegetables and mashed potatoes.
