Venison Steaks W/ Creamy Pepper & Brandy Sauce image

The sauce on these steaks is to die for! Although I use with game,I'm sure it would be just as awesome with beef steaks as well. Enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs venison steak (I like back strap)
3 tablespoons oil
1 large shallot, minced
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons fresh ground pepper
1/3 cup brandy
1/4 cup red wine
1 cup beef stock
1/3 cup sour cream
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter and oil in large saute pan over med-high heat.
  • Salt and pepper each side of steaks and add to pan. Venison at it's best should be served at med-rare. Quickly sear each side of steaks, just about 2 minute per side.
  • Remove steaks and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Turn heat down to med. and add shallots and ground pepper to pan and saute.
  • Add brandy to pan and de-glaze. Cook for a minute or so to slightly thicken.
  • Add wine and beef stock and turn heat back up to med-high. Let simmer for 3-4 minute then add sour cream. Let this mixture cook until it reaches a nice, thick consistency.
  • Add steaks back to pan and cook 2 minute.
  • Serve and enjoy!
