Here is my favorite recipe. This sauce is the heart of the dish and goes great with any steak but especially venison loin steaks. If you like red wine, blue cheese and bold flavors your gonna love this. It quickly became a staple in my cooking arsenal. Enjoy!!

Steps

30 mins

1

In shallow dish, combine flour, salt and pepper. Dredge steaks in flour mixture to coat.
2

In 12 inch non stick skillet/pan, heat 2 tbs. butter and olive oil over medium heat.
3

When butter and oil is heated, add steaks and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until desired doneness, turning steaks once. (keep in mind venison is always best if cooked to medium or under, but any doneness will be delicious with this dish)
4

Transfer steaks to warm platter and cover to keep warm.
5

To same skillet/pan, add wine, onion, water, marjoram, and bouillon. (I usually have this mixture already combined in a container so I can quickly add ingredients to skillet/pan all at once for this step)
6

Cook over medium heat until reduced by half, stirring constantly.
7

Add remaining butter and blue cheese.
8

Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until sauce is smooth and blue cheese is melted, stirring constantly.
9

Spoon sauce over steaks. And serve with side and veggie of your choice. I serve mine with garlic mashed potatoes and a fresh veggie, usually asparagus cooked with a light coat of oil and salt and pepper.
