Ingredients

Kitchen Stuff

1 grill pan

Directions

Cut the shallots. Melt the butter in a pan and fry the shallots on low heat until they are translucent.
Pour the wild fond and the port with the shallots in the pan, add the juniper berries and let the sauce reduce in 30 minutes to about 150 ml (per 4 people).
Soak the gelatin in cold water. Brush the deer steaks thinly with oil and sprinkle with (sea) salt and (freshly ground) pepper.
Heat the grill pan over a high heat. Grill the steaks in 3-4 min. Brown on both sides. Let them rest under aluminum foil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and dissolve the gelatine.
Cut the rest of the butter into small lumps and stir them quickly through the sauce (the gelatine will allow the butter to bind the sauce).
Season the sauce with freshly ground pepper and salt, remove the juniper berries before serving.
