Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) venison steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Remove the venison steaks from the refrigerator 20-30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
Step 2
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering but not smoking, add the venison steaks in a single layer.
Step 4
Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time based on your desired doneness.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, minced garlic, and rosemary sprigs to the skillet.
Step 6
Tilt the skillet slightly to one side and use a spoon to baste the venison steaks with the melted garlic-butter mixture for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board or plate for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
