Instructions
• Boil the kettle. • Trim ends of asparagus. Peel potato and cut into large chunks. Thinly slice portabello mushrooms and chives. Finely chop garlic. • Lightly crush black peppercorns with a pestle and mortar or in their sachet using a rolling pin.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled!
• Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Cook potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return potato to the pan. • Add the milk and butter to the potato and season with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
• While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook asparagus with a dash of water until tender, 5-6 minutes. • Season then transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
• See Top Steak Tips (below) for extra info! • In a medium bowl, combine venison steak, crushed peppercorns, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. • Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook venison for 3-5 minutes on each side (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. • Transfer to a plate to rest and cover to keep warm.
• While the venison is resting, return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook mushrooms until browned and softened, 8-10 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Meanwhile, combine gravy granules and the boiling water in a medium heatproof bowl, whisking, until smooth, 1 minute. • Transfer mushrooms to the gravy, season and stir to combine.
• Slice peppercorn-crusted venison steak. • Divide potato mash and pan-fried asparagus between plates. Top with steak. • Spoon over mushroom gravy and garnish with chives to serve. Enjoy!
