2 teaspoons 10mlDijon mustard
1/2 cup 118mlEvaporated skim milk

Recipe Instructions

Using a flat mallet or the back of a heavy skillet, pound the venison very thin. Brush the resulting paillards with balsamic vinegar and season with salt (if using) and freshly ground pepper. In a shallow dish, combine the mixed herbs and half of the parsley. Dredge the venison paillards in the herb mixture, coating both sides. Set aside for about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, fill a large skillet with about 1 inch of water. Place a vegetable steamer over it and fill with the vegetables, keeping like kinds together. Bring the water to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and steam the vegetables for about 10 minutes, until cooked crisp.

Just as the vegetables are finishing, spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over high heat. Add the olive oil and when it sizzles, add the venison paillards and quickly saute for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the paillards to a heated platter and sprinkle with remaining parsley. Keep warm.

Add the white wine to the venison skillet and bring to a boil to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Whisk in the mustard and the evaporated skim milk. Cook, stirring, until reduced slightly, about 2 minutes.

To serve, divide the steamed vegetables between 4 heated dinner plates, arranging the vegetables in a half circle on one side of the plate. Place a venison paillard next to the vegetables and spoon the mustard sauce over the venison and vegetables. Serve immediately.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
