Cooking Venison Steaks
Venison Steak Recipes
Easy to prepare venison steaks is a melt-in-your-mouth venison steak pan-fried in butter and topped with a thick creamy mushroom and onion sauce. If you don’t fall in love with this all I can say is bless your heart.
This is so simple to make. Can you believe it only takes 10 minutes? Pop some rolls in the oven and throw a salad together and dinner is served.
You can use whatever cut of the meat you prefer for the steaks, but it’s best to choose tender cuts of meat, such as the backstrap, tenderloin, or tender cuts from the hams, such as the eye of round, or the top round (top sirloin), which is what I used in the picture above. I can usually get about four steaks from the top round after cutting away all of the sinew and dividing the sirloin into equal parts. feel free to make your steaks however thick you desire.

Dreamy Venison Steak
Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 8 Steaks
Serving Size: 1 Steak and 3 Tbsp. of Topping.
Calories per serving: 417
Fat per serving: 17 g
Ingredients
8 venison steaks (about 3 lbs)
1 large onion, diced or sliced
8 oz. mushrooms, (I typically use portobello mushrooms)
9 oz. sour cream
3 Tbsp. butter (for frying)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
Instead of salt and pepper, feel free to use a seasoning of your choice.
Instructions
First, season your steaks as you wish. Heat 1 Tbsp. of butter in a cast iron skillet to medium-high heat and fry the steaks to your likeness, turning them only once. Keep in mind rare is 125, medium 145, and well done is 160.
Dice or slice the mushrooms and onions and add 2 Tbsp. of butter to a frying pan on medium-high heat and sautée.
Then add the sour cream, stir well, and top each steak with about 3 Tbsp. of the creamy topping.
You can also add seasoning to the sour cream, onions, and mushrooms, such as Creole seasoning or some Italian seasonings or if you like hot and spicy you could add a few drops of Sriracha sauce
