Venison Striploin Medallion Recipe Instructions
Completely defrost the striploin cut. Open the pack and pat them dry with a kitchen paper towel. In the image shown we have cut the striploin piece into two smaller striploin medallions for presentation.
Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Prepare a skillet or fry-pan with olive oil or unsalted butter. Low-to medium heat. You need to hear the medallions sizzling.
Keep turning them often so they are cooked evenly on all sides. Venison is very lean and cooks very fast - make sure you don't overcook them. Use a thermometer or your finger to determine doneness. Venison should not be cooked past medium-rare for the best taste experience.
Once the internal temperature of the striploin medallions has reached 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit) remove them from the heat and place them on a cutting board.
Allow them to rest for 5 minutes. Juices will flow out so make sure your cutting board has a juice groove. By the way, the red juice is actually myoglobin and not blood.
Cut the medallions into smaller slices for serving. Perfectly cooked to medium-rare.
Serve with all-natural sugar-free blueberry sauce as a topping.
