Wild rice is the perfect complement for game; try our Wild Rice With Walnut Oil and Green Onions. Ingredients:
2 pounds venison tenderloin |
cooking spray |
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided |
2 (3 1/2-ounce) packages fresh shiitake mushrooms |
1/4 cup minced shallots |
3/4 cup port or other sweet red wine |
1 cup beef broth |
2 1/4 teaspoons cornstarch |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°.
2. Trim fat from venison; place venison on a rack coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of venison. Bake at 425° for 30 minutes or until thermometer reaches 145° (medium-rare) to 160° (medium). Cover loosely with foil; let stand 10 minutes.
3. Remove stems from mushrooms and discard; slice caps. Place a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add mushrooms and shallots; sauté 4 minutes or until tender. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and port; cook 2 minutes. Combine broth and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add to skillet; bring to a boil, and cook 1 minute or until thick, stirring constantly. Serve with venison.
4. Note: Beef tenderloin can be substituted for venison.
