INGREDIENTS

• 2 pound boned loin of venison
• 3 tablespoons oil
• 1/4 cup red wine
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup cashews
• 1/3 cup raisins
• 2 tablespoons butter
• For the Sauce:
• 1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped
• 1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 1 stalk celery, diced
• 1 red pepper, chopped
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 2 1/2 cups beef stock
• 2 tablespoons parsley
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper and salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup each red wine and heavy cream

DIRECTIONS

• Cut venison into slices about 1/4-inch thick. Lay on a plate and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon oil and pepper. Cover and let stand for at least 1 hour. Make sauce: Heat the oil, add onion, carrot, red pepper and celery and cook over a low heat until they start to brown.
• Stir in the flour and continue cooking to a rich brown. Add 2/3 of the stock, the mushrooms, tomato paste, parsley and bay leaf and the wine. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring. Reduce heat and simmer with the lid half covering the pan for 20-25 minutes.
• Add the remaining stock, bring to a boil again and skim. Strain sauce. Return to pan, add vinegar and continue to simmer 6-7 minutes. Add cream and simmer for 5 minutes. Add nuts and raisins.
• Heat remaining oil in a heavy frying pan and saute venison over a high heat for about 4 minutes on each side. Arrange on a warm platter and pour warm sauce on top.
