This was a perfect dinner to end a snow day. Best of all? DH cooked it!
I found some wild rice mix in the cupboard that I had forgotten about, so I made it in the rice cooker while DH did the rest.
He looked online at various mushroom sauces and came up with this version:
- 4 C beef stock
- 3 C dried mushrooms (I love the wild mushroom mix canister from Costco)
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire
- 1 shallot (minced)
Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer while you grill the venison steak (medium, seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic).
When the venison is finished, let rest while you finish the mushroom sauce by adding
- 1/4 C f lour
- 1 Tbsp butter
It was so delicious, it made me feel like I was in the North woods and not snowed in my suburban house. My favorite kind of recipe! I did make a mushroom sauce from Simply in Season last April, but I like this version a LOT better. The other version had cornstarch, which I found a bit gummy in comparison.

Logs on the fire, winds howling, snow blowing and a perfect comfort dish for dinner! Thanks!
Did you buy your venison or did your DH go hunting?
We don’t hunt, but we usually get some venison from a friend. None this year though đ
DH hunts and was lucky to get one this year. He doesn’t get one every year, but the ones when he does we are always so excited. LOVE venison.
This sounds so good. I think I’ll pass this recipe along to my daughter – her fiance hunts and always has venison in the freezer. Can you buy the dried mushrooms somewhere besides Costco? Perhaps at Meijers?
I haven’t looked for them anywhere else, but you could probably use fresh mushrooms – just saute’ along with the shallot and maybe a bit of butter before adding the stock.
