Ingredients

• 4 pieces Deer steaks
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil or vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 medium Yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the sliced onions and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and golden brown.

Step 5

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.

Step 6

Pour in the beef broth, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Return the deer steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the steaks simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and cooked through.

Step 8

Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Garnish the dish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve the smothered deer steak hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a complete meal.
