Steps

  • Preheat oven to 200°C.
  • Trim sinew from the venison loin and lightly score the skin.
  • Sprinkle pepper, salt, and most of the rosemary onto a board, reserving one teaspoon for the sauce.
  • Rub the loin with oil and roll it in the herb mixture to coat lightly.
  • Heat a frying pan and sear the venison on all sides until browned.
  • Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, then rest for ten minutes.
  • Deglaze the frying pan with red wine over high heat, then reduce heat and season.
  • Mix softened butter and flour together to create a beurre manié.
  • Whisk the beurre manié into the wine sauce bit by bit until thickened.
  • Stir in the reserved rosemary.
  • Slice venison on the diagonal, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with rosemary.
