Ingredients

• 1 pound venison steak (deer meat), thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 12 ounces egg noodles, cooked and drained
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the venison slices with salt and pepper, then lightly coat with the all-purpose flour.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the venison in batches, searing the pieces for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 6-7 minutes.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and stir in the Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream and paprika. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Step 9

Return the seared venison to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for 5-7 minutes, until the meat is tender and warmed through.

Step 10

Serve the deer stroganoff over cooked egg noodles, and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
