Grilled Medallions Of Venison With Black Bean Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• In a nonreactive dish large enough to accommodate the meat in one layer, combine the yogurt, hoisin sauce, garlic, gingerroot and pepper, and add the medallions, turning to coat them on all sides. Cover and refrigerate for two to three days, turning twice during this time.
• For the pancakes, place half of the beans in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel chopping blade. Pour in the water and Sherry and process until smooth. Add the eggs, process until blended, then scrape the mixture into a bowl. Stir in the remaining beans, scallions, garlic, sesame seeds, oil, gingerroot, Tabasco sauce and salt. Sprinkle the flour onto the mixture, a tablespoon at a time, beating it with a fork until blended.
• Turn your oven to warm. Lightly grease a large, heavy skillet with oil and heat until it is hot. Pour in one tablespoon of the batter for each pancake. Cook them over medium-high heat until the edges begin to brown, about 30 to 45 seconds. Turn with a spatula and cook the second side for 30 seconds. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate, loosely cover it and place it in the oven. Continue until all the batter has been used.
• Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron or heavy skillet until it is very hot. Add enough oil to lightly film the pan. Place only as many medallions in the pan as will fit comfortably without crowding. Cook the meat over high heat for about four to four-and-a-half minutes on the first side, turn and cook three-and-a-half to four minutes on the second side for medium-rare. Transfer the meat to heated plates. Serve with three to four pancakes. Slice the reserved scallion tops and use them as garnish.

Steps:

• To make the sauce, combine wine and shallot in a medium saucepan and bring to boil. Cook until liquid is reduced to about half a cup. Add berries and return liquid to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until berries are soft, about 15 minutes. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce coats the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes.
• Strain the sauce and return it to the pan. Whisk in butter, one tablespoon at a time. Add salt, pepper and honey. Add sage to sauce and steep for 15 to 20 minutes, or until ready to use. Keep warm. Remove the sage sprigs just before serving.
• Season the venison with salt and pepper. In a large saute pan, heat oil to nearly smoking. Carefully place the medallions in pan and saute for three minutes, being careful not to crowd the pan. Turn and cook to medium rare, about two minutes. Repeat as necessary to brown all medallions.
• To serve, spoon sauce on warm individual serving plates. Place two medallions in center of each plate.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook venison and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
• Stir in remaining ingredients.
• Transfer to a 2-qt. baking dish.
• Cover and bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until heated through.

Steps:

• Place chunks of venison into a shallow baking dish, and pour enough apple cider in to cover them. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours. Remove, and pat dry. Discard apple cider, and return venison to the dish. Pour barbeque sauce over the chunks, cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 more hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Charcoal is best, but if you must, use gas. Remove meat from the refrigerator, and let stand for 30 minutes, or until no longer chilled. Wrap each chunk of venison in a slice of bacon, and secure with toothpicks.
• Brush the grill grate with olive oil when hot, and place venison pieces on the grill so they are not touching. The bacon will kick up some flames, so be ready. Grill, turning occasionally, until the bacon becomes slightly burnt, 15 to 20 minutes. The slower, the better. Dig in, and prepare to want more!

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook venison and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in remaining ingredients. Transfer to a 2-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until heated through.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except venison in a large bowl. Submerge venison in the marinade, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Heat broiler, stovetop grill pan or grill. Remove venison from marinade and season with salt and pepper. Working in batches if necessary, place steaks under the broiler or on the grilling surface and cook, flipping once, until medium-rare, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Allow venison to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
