Ingredients

  • 1 lb. venison backstrap roast, or steak
  • 10 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion sliced thinly
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ stick butter
  • ¼ cup flour
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 tsp. worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup chicken broth or beef broth or venison broth if you have it
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp. fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • In a low bowl, combine salt, pepper, and flour.
  • Thinly slice venison steak and coat it in the flour mixture.
  • In a large skillet, melt ½ of the butter over medium heat. Sear venison meat on both sides to brown. Do not over cook. Remove meat to a side plate to rest. You may have to work in stages.
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining butter along with onions and minced garlic. Saute until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they release their liquid.
  • Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up any bits on the bottom of the pan. Add worcestershire sauce and stock and stir. Simmer for 5 minutes on low. Add venison meat back into the skillet and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add sour cream and fresh chopped dill. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
