Peppered Venison Appetizer

Most of us are short on venison loins and tenderloins and long on ground stuff, shoulder and neck roasts, etc. Here's a way to stretch the good stuff, assuming that you want to share with others. It is best served very rare. If any of your guests have a problem with eating deer that is just seared on the outside, give them a bag of potato chips.
