Pan Seared Venison Steaks with Cannery Brewery Blackberry Porter Cream Reduction
Recipe by Jordan Ash, Executive Chef/Owner Flambe Catering
Ingredients:
1 lb thinly sliced venison loin steaks, about ¼” thick (pork loin or chicken breast would work fine too if you don’t have venison)
¾ cup Cannery Brewing Blackberry Porter
1 tbsp minced shallot
1 tbsp butter
250 ml 35% cream
2 tsp honey
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp grainy Dijon mustard
½ tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Directions:
• Marinate venison steaks in ¼ cup of the Blackberry Porter and ½ tsp of the black pepper overnight.
• Bring venison steaks to room temperature for about 20 mins.
• Preheat a heavy pan on medium-high heat.
• Lay the steaks on paper towels and dry on both sides. Season liberally with salt, pepper and ground coriander.
• Add the vegetable oil to a hot pan; when the oil ripples, the pan is hot. Sear the steaks for about one minute per side (will be medium-rare) remove them and keep in a warm place.
• Turn the heat down, add the butter and shallots, sauté until golden brown, add the remaining Blackberry Porter and reduce by ¾.
• Add the vinegar, cream and remaining ingredients, continue to reduce until thickened, season with salt and pepper to taste and serve over the steaks.
