Black Pepper-Crusted Venison Medallions With Huckleberry Sauce

Black Pepper-Crusted Venison Medallions With Huckleberry Sauce
Preparation time: 10M
Cooking time: 25M
Serves: 4 - 6
Difficulty:

Ingredients

  • 1 cup huckleberries, fresh or frozen
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 20 oz Silver Fern Farms Venison Medallions, cut into 1 ½-inch pieces
  • 2 Tbsp coarsely ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 Tbsp grapeseed oil
  • 4 oz blue cheese crumbles
  • 2 Tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced



Method

Step 1

In a small pot, combine the huckleberries, sugar, honey and lemon juice, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Using a potato masher, smash about half of the huckleberries to release their juices. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until reduced by one-quarter. Remove the pot from the heat, and allow the sauce to cool to room temperature and thicken.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, season the venison medallions with the black pepper and salt.

Step 3

In a medium nonstick skillet, heat the grapeseed oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the medallions and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until caramelized and crispy.

Step 4

Transfer the medallions to a serving plate. Spoon the huckleberry sauce over them and then garnish with blue cheese and chives. Serve hot.
