Ingredients
- 2lbs Venison steaks— tenderized
- 3/4cup flour— or seasoned breading like Andy’s.
- 2tsp salt— skip if using seasoned breading
- 1tsp black pepper— skip if using seasoned breading
- 1/4cup vegetable oil
- 2cups homemade stock— venison, beef, or chicken. Or water with Better Than Bouillon and a little unflavored gelatin
- 1 medium onion— sliced thin
- 2cloves garlic— minced
- 1/2lb fresh mushrooms— diced
- 3/4cup dry red wine
- 2tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1tsp dijon mustard
- 1tsp thyme
- 2Tbsp corn starch
Instructions
- Tenderize steaks then season both sides with a little salt and pepper.
- Mix flour, salt and pepper together (or just use seasoned breading) and place in a pie pan.
- Dredge the steaks in the seasoned flour, shake off the excess, set aside.
- Position rack to lower middle slot of oven and preheat to 300 degrees F.
- Add enough oil to just cover the bottom of a Dutch oven set over medium-high heat.
- When oil shimmers add steaks to the pan. Don’t overcrowd. Cook until golden brown on both sides, ≈ 2 minutes per side.
- Remove steaks and repeat until all of the steaks have been browned.
- Add onion and garlic to pot and cook/stir for about a minute, then add the mushrooms and cook/stir about 2 more minutes. You want the onion to caramelize and the mushrooms to start giving off their liquid.
- Deglaze the pan using a wooden spatula and the red wine.
- Add stock, Worcestershire, mustard and thyme and mix.
- Add steaks, nestling into the sauce so they are all submerged.
- Cover dutch oven and move to oven for 2 hours.
- Remove steaks from sauce (careful, they will be fall-apart tender), cover in foil to keep warm and set aside.
Now, the gravy: - Mix cornstarch with a little warm water to make a thin, pour-able paste.
- Slowly add to sauce while whisking.
- Apply medium heat and stir until it simmers.
- Serve steaks with gravy.
