1. Heat the oil in a frying pan, cook the venison for 5 mins, then turn over and cook for 3-5 mins more, depending on how rare you like it and the thickness of the meat (cook for 5-6 mins on each side for well done). Lift the meat from the pan and set aside to rest.
2. Add the balsamic vinegar to the pan, then pour in the stock, redcurrant jelly and garlic. Stir over quite a high heat to blend everything together, then add the blackberries and carry on cooking until they soften. Serve with the venison, celeriac mash (see below) and broccoli.

Serve with celeriac mash

Thickly peel and chop a small celeriac, then boil with 3 small potatoes. Drain when tender and mash with butter and plenty of seasoning.

  The family really enjoyed this meal. I bought the venison steaks in a supermarket promotion and hadn't tried cooking venison before. I adapted the recipe by cutting up the venison and cooking it in the sauce. The result was delicious, not strong or gamey

  Absolutely delicious. Never tried venisonl - never tried celeriac either, so double first for me! Might try tiloaa's suggestion about chopping it up and cooking it in the sauce next.

  We had this for tea today absolutely delicious extremely tasty, I only put 1 tbsp of redcurrent jelly in though as it is quite sweet and I didn't add the blackberries, we would definately do this again next time we have venison for tea.

  I made this last night & it was absolutely wonderful! I think the sauce would also work with steak or lamb.

  Quick, simple, easy & delicious. Used cranberry sauce and a splash of port to add oomph to the sauce. This has become a real regular dish in our household. If you've never tried venison urge you try this recipe you'll be converted!
