Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Peel the potato and parsnip and cut into bite-sized chunks. Cook the potato and parsnip in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan, then add the milk, the salt and 1/2 the butter. Mash until smooth and cover to keep warm.
While the potato and parsnip are cooking, cut the baby broccoli in half lengthways. Roughly chop the cavolo nero kale. Thinly slice the button mushrooms. Finely chop the garlic. Pick and roughly chop the sage leaves. Roughly chop the roasted hazelnuts and slivered almonds.
In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, cook the sage, hazelnuts and almonds, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Season with salt.
Return the frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Season the venison steak with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, cook the venison for 3-5 minutes on each side (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate to rest, leaving the residual juices in the pan. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the steak and place the remaining butter on top. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: The heat will melt the butter and glaze to make a sauce.
While the steak is resting, return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with the residual steak juices and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the mushrooms and baby broccoli until starting to soften, 5-6 minutes. Add the kale and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, 2 minutes. Season to taste.
Slice the venison steak. Divide the parsnip mash and veggies between plates. Top with the venison. Spoon over the balsamic butter and any resting juices. Sprinkle over the sage nuts to serve.
