Method

  1. Make the gravy by simmering all the ingredients together until the redcurrant jelly has completely melted. Keep warm.
  2. Steam or simmer the potatoes until just tender, about 8 mins, then drain well and add a few drops of oil.
  3. Lay the venison on a board. Sprinkle some of the black pepper and a little salt on each side, pressing the pepper into the steaks. Heat the remaining oil in a pan. When it has a shimmering surface, add the steaks, 2 at a time. Cook for 2 mins on each side for rare, 3 mins for medium and 4 mins for well done. When cooked, return them all to the pan and pour over the sauce. Warm for 1 min, sprinkle with parsley. Serve with the potatoes and peas, if you like, and any extra sauce spooned over.

    First ever attempt to cook venison and the first time my children(8 and 12) ate venison. The time indication for cooking the steaks was perfect and the port sauce deep, full of flavor and a hit all round.

    This was delicious! I've never cooked it before but I'll be doing this again soon - it was simple but my friend assumed I'd been slaving over it for hours. Next time I'll add less orange juice just to thicken the sauce - the photo doesn't do it justice!

    My first time eating Venison and stuck to the timings as stated, result a perfectly cooked Venison steak that was still good by the time we'd finished it! Sauce was too thin for our liking, so will try less orange like clare66uk next time and less redcurrant jelly as it turned into a just ok meal, because of the sauce, even though I followed the instructions implictly.
