Season both sides of the venison steaks with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Lightly dredge the steaks in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Sear the venison steaks in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms. Remove the steaks and set them aside on a plate.
If using, sauté the sliced onion in the same skillet for 3-4 minutes until translucent and lightly browned.
Deglaze the skillet by slowly pouring in the beef broth, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon for added flavor.
Add the Worcestershire sauce and stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to medium and let the liquid simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing it to slightly reduce.
Stir in the heavy cream and, if desired, add the sprigs of fresh thyme for extra aroma.
Return the seared venison steaks to the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the gravy. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the steaks simmer for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness.
Serve the venison steaks hot, smothered in the rich gravy. Pair them with mashed potatoes or buttered vegetables for a complete meal.
