Ingredients

• 4 pieces Venison steaks
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs (Italian-style)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Marinara sauce
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 12 ounces Spaghetti or other pasta (cooked)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lay the venison steaks on a cutting board and use a meat mallet to pound them gently until they are about 1/2 inch thick, if necessary.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs whisked with 2 tablespoons of water, and the third with breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Dredge each venison steak first in the flour, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.

Step 6

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook two venison cutlets at a time for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Add more olive oil as needed when cooking the rest of the cutlets. Transfer cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 7

In a baking dish, spread 1 cup of marinara sauce across the bottom. Arrange the venison cutlets on top of the sauce in a single layer.

Step 8

Spoon the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the cutlets. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot over cooked spaghetti or your choice of pasta.
