Ingredients
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup port
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 6-ounce venison chops
- 1 tablespoon chopped shallots
- 1 cup demi glace
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper
- 1 small pot of soft polenta
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
In a bowl, soak the cranberries in the port for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saute pan. Season the venison chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Place chops into the saute pan and sear them on both sides for 3 minutes. Remove and set aside. Place the shallots in the same pan and cook for 1 minute. Drain the port from the cranberries, and carefully add it to the pan. It will ignite. When the fire dies, add the demi glace as well as the venison, and the cranberries. Cook for 2 minutes flipping the chops once. Swirl in the butter and season. Serve with polenta, parsley, and cheese.

Phenomenal! Best Venison Ever. The family likes their venison Plain and Simple while I like a little sauce, so we usually disagree on recipes - but we ALL loved this. Easy to make, too. I did make substitutions using what I had in the pantry: Riesling for the port, beef stock for the demi glace, and brown rice for the polenta. Yum. This is a keeper.

Very good. The meat was tender. I used Chicken stock instead of the demi-glaze and it was still good.
