Venison Steak

Thursday, 3rd March

Venison Shank Steak from Camden Market, port wine gravy, Lyonnaise Potato (sort of) and chimichurri. Sliced potatoes, onions and garlic, mixed with oil and salt and cooked, covered, on a low heat for an hour. Fried the steaks in a hot griddle pan for 3 minutes each side, then let them rest for 10 minutes of a warm plate. Deglazed the pan with port and a splash of water, for the sauce. The steak had been in the fridge for a fortnight so it was beautifully tender and with just the right gamy flavour. And the potatoes tasted much better than they looked! Too much oil though.
