Absolutely AMAZING meal tonight. Been wanting to do this for a while as my cousin has never had pronghorn or mule deer.
Pulled the meat out to thaw then trimmed the sinew off. Seasoned with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Quick sear whole in C.I. pan then vacsealed and into sous vide @131*F for 3 hours.
Made the sauce in the same pan while the meat was cooking.
Mule Deer Demi-glace in the back warming up for the sauce. Finished the sauce with butter..
Opened a bottle of 2016 Valpolicella Wine made by my Uncle. Poured that into the decanter and let it breathe for 30 minutes prior to serving.
When the Smoked Duck and Cauliflower soup was warmed up and the carrots were steamed, pulled the meat from the sous vide to rest for 10 minutes
then cut 1" steaks and hit them with the torch.
The plate:
Absolutely incredible meal! Always amazes me what sous vide can do to wild game. The meat was more tender than some beef filet steaks I have had. The meal definitely did the wine justice. I was in super taster bliss....fantastic pairing. I ate slowly and savored every bite.
Oh- forgot to mention my niece wanted bread pudding so she made a run to the grocer and bought the stuff. Had bread pudding for dessert at halftime of the Natty game.
