Recipe Ingredients

4		Venison loin steaks - (4 oz ea)
		Salt - (optional), to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
		Olive oil cooking spray - as needed
1 teaspoon	5ml	Olive oil
1/4 cup	36g / 1.3oz	Chopped shallots
1/2 cup	118ml	Dry red wine
1 cup	237ml	Canned fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 tablespoon	7.5ml	Cornstarch - dissolved in
1 tablespoon	15ml	Water
1/3 cup	20g / 0.7oz	Dried no-sugar-added dried cherries

Recipe Instructions

Season the venison steaks with salt (if using) and freshly ground pepper. Lightly spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over high heat. Swirl in the olive oil and when it sizzles, add the venison steaks. Sear for about 2 minutes per side, until well browned. Transfer to a heated platter; keep warm.

Add the shallots and red wine to the skillet and cook, stirring, until shallots are wilted and the wine is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

Whisk in the broth and dissolved cornstarch. Lower the heat and cook, stirring, until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Add the dried cherries and venison steaks to the skillet and continue to cook, turning the venison once, for another 2 to 3 minutes.

To serve, place a venison steak on each of 4 dinner plates. Spoon on some of the cherry sauce. Serve immediately.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
