Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) venison steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Remove the venison steaks from the refrigerator 20-30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering but not smoking, add the venison steaks in a single layer.
Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time based on your desired doneness.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, minced garlic, and rosemary sprigs to the skillet.
Tilt the skillet slightly to one side and use a spoon to baste the venison steaks with the melted garlic-butter mixture for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board or plate for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
