Instructions

  1. Season the venison steak with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat 10g unsalted butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until melted and hot.
  3. Add the venison steak to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes on each side for medium rare, adjusting time for preferred doneness.
  4. Remove the steak from the skillet and cover loosely with foil to rest.
  5. In the same skillet, add the minced shallot and cook for 1 minute until softened.
  6. For in the port wine and add the fresh thyme sprig, simmering until the liquid reduces by half, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Remove the thyme sprig and whisk in the remaining 5g unsalted butter to finish the sauce, then remove from heat.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with chopped parsley and chives, mixing well.
  9. Serve the venison steak topped with a dollop of the creamy herb cheese and drizzle the port wine sauce over the steak or on the side.

Tips
