Venison Fillet with Cumberland Sauce

INGREDIENTS
  • ​500g Premium Game Venison Fillet
  • Olive oil
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)

SAUCE INGREDIENTS
  • 1 shallot (finely diced)
  • ½ cup port wine
  • ¼ cup demi-glace or 1 cup of meat stock
  • A pinch of salt
  • ½ t dry mustard
  • ¼ t cayenne pepper
  • Zest of one lemon and orange
  • ¼ cup red currant jelly
  • Freshly ground black pepper 

 

METHOD
  1. Remove the fillet from packaging, cover, and allow to come to room temperature (approx. 30 minutes). 
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan. Season with Salt & Pepper and rub a little oil into the fillet before placing in the pan. Pan fry over medium heat for 2-3 minutes each side. Remove, loosely cover with foil and allow to rest while you make the sauce.
  3. Using the same pan add a small amount of oil, add the shallot and sauté over medium-high heat until soft. Don’t let it burn or your sauce will be bitter
  4. Add the port wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits which have stuck to the bottom of the pan.  Bring to the boil and allow the wine to reduce by half.  Add the demi-glace (or stock), salt, citrus zest, mustard and cayenne allow this to boil for 1-2 minutes.  Stir in the red currant jelly and black pepper.  Let the sauce boil down and reduce until it is thick but still pourable.  You can strain if you want a more refined sauce. 
  5. Slice the venison fillet.  Pour any juices that have come from the venison back into the meat sauce and stir to combine.  Serve with the sauce either over the meat or alongside

What Our Clients Are Saying

​"Our son works for Tristram European car dealership in Auckland. He was given a range of your game meat products as a Christmas gift from their major parts supplier. We have really enjoyed your wild pork mince and bacon, and have yet to try your salami. They were amazing! My husband and I are keen and knowledgeable cooks and meat-eaters, and we are very impressed with the overall quality of your meats. They smell clean, cook clean, and the flavour is superb. These days it is very hard to find meat that doesn't release liquid on cooking and your meat is the best. We will be telling everyone about your meat. Thanks!" ​
