Ground Venison Patties With Mushroom Onion Gravy Recipes

VENISON SALISBURY STEAK

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add venison, minced onion and garlic, Panko bread crumbs, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, salt, and parsley.
• Use your hands to combine the until it just comes together. Do not over-mix, or the patties will become dense.
• Divide the mixture into 8 portions and make patties about 1/2 inch thick. Set the patties aside to rest for about 15 minutes
• In a large heavy-bottomed skillet heat oil to medium. Add the venison patties and cook for 3 minutes per side.
• Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside. Cover the patties to keep warm
• Add a little bit more oil, if needed. Add onions to the skillet and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until translucent. Add mushrooms and continue to cook for 3 minutes, until softened.
• Stir in the fresh thyme, garlic powder, and flour, and cook for 1 minute. Add the beef stock, scraping the bottom of the skillet to remove the brown bits. Add the Worcestershire sauce, and bring the mixture to a low boil.
• When the gravy begins to thicken, turn the heat down, and add the butter. Stir well until butter melts into the gravy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I add about 1/2 teaspoon of each.
• Return the patties to gravy. Spoon the gravy over patties and cook for 5 minutes
• Garnish with parsley. Serve with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or root mashed vegetables

VENISON WITH SHERRY-MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup flour, sage, salt, and pepper in a resealable bag, set aside. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pan over medium heat. Stir in onion and cook until almost soft. Add mushrooms, and continue cooking until soft. Remove from pan.
• Turn heat to medium-high and melt 2 tablespoons of butter in pan. Toss the venison steaks in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess. Sear venison in butter for 6 to 7 minutes per side and remove.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, and melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of flour, followed by the sherry and water. Return the vegetables and meat to the pan. Increase heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.

HAMBURGER STEAKS WITH ONION AND MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• For the hamburger steaks: Whisk together the mustard, smoked paprika, egg, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Mix in the ground beef and breadcrumbs by hand, then form into 4 oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
• Set a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the patties and brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the patties to a plate; set aside.
• For the onion and mushroom gravy: Turn the heat down to medium and add the mushrooms and thyme. Cook until the mushrooms release their liquid and are browned, about 8 minutes. (The mushrooms might seem dry at first, but will eventually release liquid and add moisture to the pan.) Transfer the mushrooms to a plate; set aside.
• Melt the butter in the pan, add the onions and garlic and cook until translucent and lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, until the butter and liquid are absorbed, about 1 minute. Pour the broth and Worcestershire into the pan and stir until the flour is dissolved.
• Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Stir the mushrooms back into the pan and nestle in the beef patties. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to medium low. Let simmer until the sauce has thickened and a thermometer inserted into the patties registers 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes.
• Turn the patties over a few times to coat in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper and top with the parsley.

VENISON WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY ROAST

Steps:

• Pan fry the venison (slowly with a low flame) in a lightly buttered pan until well browned. (I thoroughly cook my venison, and apply butter coatings to top sides to prevent drying the meat as it cooks. However, you can cook to your own preferences -- keep in mind this is a wild dish, hence my thorough initial cooking).
• Add 1 tablespoons butter to separate pan to sauté following 4 ingredients (yellow onions through mushrooms). Sauté yellow onions in pan first, this will allow caramelization, and a full rich flavour of onions. After onions become tender, add the green pepper, red pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté all ingredients above until tender, and onions are slightly caramelized. Add 1/4 cup chopped green onions to sauté pan and simmer 1-2 more minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• After all ingredients are sautéed, remove from heat and place 1/2 evenly into a casserole dish creating a layer across the bottom of the dish. After tenderloins are cooked, remove from pan, and place on top of the bed of sautéed vegetables. Cover tenderloin with the remaining sautéed vegetables. Finally cover everything evenly with 2 cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup. The soups will create a wonderful gravy as it is cooked in the oven. Cover casserole dish with foil, and place into preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes, or until gravy is slightly golden brown.
• Remove from oven when finished and garnish with remaining 1/4 cup chopped green onions. Serve immediately to awaiting guests and family members!
