Ingredients
  

  • 4 venison haunch steaks
  • 50 grams baby gherkins
  • 1 shallot peeled
  • 50 grams baby capers
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 tbsp flat leaf parsley
  • 2 tbsp cajun spices
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • vegetable oil
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Generously brush the venison steaks with oil, then season and rub all over with the Cajun spices.
  • In a very hot pan, ribbed griddle plate or BBQ, sear the steaks on each side to the degree you prefer.
  • Once cooked, remove the steaks from the pan and allow to rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Slice the steak at an angle and place onto the plates.
  • For the gherkin dressing:
    Skin, de-seed and finely dice the tomato. Chop the parsley and keep to one side.
  • Finely dice the gherkins and shallots and mix well with the baby capers, vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste and add in the tomato and parsley.
  • Spoon a generous serving of the dressing over the steaks and serve straight away.
