Venison with Coconut Creamed Leeks and Mushrooms

Ingredients
  

  • 300 g venison rump steaks (approximately 150g each)
  • 1 leek, finely sliced
  • 4 portobello mushrooms, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 dashes balsamic vinegar
  • 2/3 can coconut cream
  • 1 wedge of butter (about 10g)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 medium kumara (sweet potatoes), peeled and diced

Instructions 

Roasted Kumara

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
  • Toss the diced kumara with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking tray.
  • Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and tender.

Coconut Creamed Leeks and Mushrooms:

  • Heat olive oil or butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the leeks, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and fragrant (about 8–10 minutes).
  • Add Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well.
  • Pour in the coconut cream and lower the heat to a simmer. Let it bubble gently for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  • Stir in the small wedge of butter and fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove from heat and set aside.

Venison:

  • Pat the venison rump steaks dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a pan (or on a bbq) over high heat. Sear the venison for 2–4 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred doneness (medium-rare is recommended).
  • Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
