Try this one on for size if you love shrooms, otherwise omit them. This is my husband's favorite (and we eat game at least 3 nights a week). Serve with rice or mashed potatoes, and green beans. Now THIS is good eatin'!

Steps:
- Cut all fat and gristle off the meat, and pound each steak out with a meat tenderizer until they are thin but not tearing. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Dredge steaks in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute onions until soft and translucent. Stir in mushrooms and garlic, and cook until tender. Remove from skillet and set aside. Heat remaining oil, and fry each steak for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Return onion mixture to skillet. Stir in gravy and milk. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Steps:
- Make the gravy by simmering all the ingredients together until the redcurrant jelly has completely melted. Keep warm.
- Steam or simmer the potatoes until just tender, about 8 mins, then drain well and add a few drops of oil.
- Lay the venison on a board. Sprinkle some of the black pepper and a little salt on each side, pressing the pepper into the steaks. Heat the remaining oil in a pan. When it has a shimmering surface, add the steaks, 2 at a time. Cook for 2 mins on each side for rare, 3 mins for medium and 4 mins for well done. When cooked, return them all to the pan and pour over the sauce. Warm for 1 min, sprinkle with parsley. Serve with the potatoes and peas, if you like, and any extra sauce spooned over.

VENISON STEAK WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS
This is my brother Bob's recipe. I've always been loathe to eat food made with Bambi, but I couldn't resist the smell of this. Know what? It was delicious! He brings this out at football watching parties, but denies it's venison until after the taste test. Serve with rice or noodles.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the beef broth, sherry, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Season the meat with curing salt and steak seasoning, then place it in the bowl with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
- Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the venison to the skillet, reserving the marinade. Cook and stir until browned and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the size of your pieces. Remove to a clean bowl.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper strips; cook and stir until starting to become tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove them from the pan and place them in the bowl with the meat.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of the reserved marinade. Pour the rest of the marinade into the skillet. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat for a minute. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue to cook, stirring slowly until thickened, about 1 minute. Return the meat and vegetables to the skillet and stir until coated with the sauce. Transfer to a serving dish.

DREW'S VENISON STEAKS AND GRAVY
I've been making this comfort food forever, and it's DH's favorite. I especially like the creamy gravy over rice or mashed potatoes. If you want a stroganoff-like gravy, stir in 8 ounces of sour cream at the last minute, and serve over wide noodles!

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of venison steak. Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that your steaks are tender and juicy.
- Marinate the venison steaks before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme is a good place to start.
- Cook the venison steaks over high heat. This will help to sear the outside of the steaks and lock in the juices. You can cook the steaks in a pan on the stovetop or on a grill.
- Let the venison steaks rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
Conclusion:
Venison steaks are a delicious and versatile cut of meat. They can be cooked in a variety of ways, and they pair well with a variety of sides. With a little practice, you can easily cook venison steaks that are tender, juicy, and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy meal, give venison steaks a try.
