Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) venison steaks
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 0.25 cups heavy cream
• 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Season the venison steaks on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Dredge the steaks lightly in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Sear the venison steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, or until a golden crust forms. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and sliced onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized.

Step 6

Deglaze the skillet by adding the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, fresh thyme, and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually whisk this slurry into the gravy to thicken it as desired.

Step 9

Return the venison steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Lower the heat, cover the skillet, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the steaks are cooked to your preferred doneness.

Step 10

Remove the thyme sprigs and discard them. Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 11

Serve the venison steaks hot, generously spooned with the rich gravy. Pair with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
