Venison Steaks
1. Wash the steaks under tap water, and then pat dry with a paper towel.
2. Add the basil, oregano, pepper, salt and garlic to a bowl. Stir the spices until they’re blended. This mixture of seasoning spices is to be used as a rub and should be pressed onto both sides of the steaks and sprayed with canola oil.
3. Add a tablespoon of butter to a skillet and sear the steaks for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until done. Don’t overcook venison because it’s lean.
4. Sprinkle the streaks with lemon juice and serve immediately.
Oven-roasted Greek potatoes are obligatory as a side dish, featuring the following recipe adapted from an allrecipes online recipe site.
Oven-roasted Greek Potatoes
1. Add the basil, lemon pepper, marjoram, rosemary and thyme to a mixing bowl and whisk together.
2. Add the wine, water, olive oil, Italian salad dressing, garlic, lemon juice and lemon zest to a mixing bowl and stir well. Then add half of the mixture of spices and whisk the ingredients until
blended. Pour the mixture into a glass casserole dish. Add the potatoes to the
casserole and sprinkle the remaining spice mixture on them. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
3. Pre-heat your oven to 350 F and bake the potatoes for 1-1/2 hours, basting periodically.
Serve the steaks and potatoes with a signature Greek salad. There are numerous Greek salad recipes that can be found online. Enjoy! ■ |
