Venison with green peppercorns

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 Venison fillets (6 oz ea)
1 tablespoon Green peppercorns
3 ounces Bourbon whiskey
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 Chopped shallot
¼ cup Red wine
¼ cup Heavy cream
2 tablespoons Butter
1 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives, thyme or parsley

Directions

Soak green peppercorns in bourbon for 30 minutes or longer.

Heat butter in a saute pan. Salt and pepper the venison on both sides and saute quickly, about 2 minutes per side (depending on thickness) for medium rare. Remove from pan and keep warm.

Add shallots to pan juices; cook 1 minute. Add green peppercorns and bourbon; boil 1 minute. Add wine and cook down to a fine glaze. Add heavy cream and continue cooking until sauce coats the back of a spoon. Add herbs and any meat juices. Serve sauce over venison.
