Cranberry Venison

Cranberry Venison is a flavorful and succulent dish that showcases tender venison marinated and cooked with tart cranberries, creating a delightful balance of savory and sweet. This Paleo Indian dinner is perfect for a cozy meal, offering a taste of nature's bounty in every bite.

Ingredients

• Venison steak - 300 grams
• Fresh cranberries - 100 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh rosemary - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon (optional)
• Water - 100 milliliters

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and honey (if using) to create a marinade.
2. Add the venison steak to the marinade, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
3. In a pan over medium heat, add the marinated venison and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until a crust forms and it reaches your desired doneness.
4. Remove the venison from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes.
5. In the same pan, add cranberries and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Slice the rested venison and serve topped with the cranberry sauce.
