VENISON CHOPS WITH SHALLOTS AND CUMIN



Venison Chops With Shallots and Cumin image

Wintry weather and holiday get-togethers require celebratory food to share. Try venison instead of the more common roasts. A rub of cumin and pepper gives these chops warmth, while bacon adds a whiff of smoke and some fat with which to baste the lean meat. This recipe avoids the usual tart-fruit component, so the spices have less competition. Instead, seared shallots go alongside. For venison, the rack is the easiest cut to prepare. and in a hot oven it is quickly done and cut into chops. The meat is hearty and succulent, with the merest hint of gaminess. Be sure to cook it only to medium rare or it will toughen. Since most venison that's available (unless you know a hunter) is ranch-raised in America or New Zealand and carries a hefty price tag, you do not want disappointment.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ounces smoked bacon (4 thick strips)
1 rack of venison, about 2 1/2 pounds, frenched
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Salt
6 large shallots, quartered lengthwise
1/2 cup beef or veal stock
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon soft unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Using a heavy skillet large enough to accommodate the rack of venison, fry the bacon. Drain strips on paper towel. Cut bacon in 1/2-inch pieces and set aside. Brush venison with some of the bacon fat. Leave 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in the pan and discard the rest. Mix 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cumin with the pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Rub the spices on the meat and let rest 1 hour. Cook the shallots in the remaining fat in the pan on medium heat until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove shallots from the pan and set aside.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Using the skillet or another pan big enough to hold the rack of venison, place the venison in the pan, bone side down, and roast 20 minutes. Test with an instant-read thermometer. It should register 115 degrees for medium rare to rare. If more doneness is desired, leave the venison in the oven another 5 minutes. But it will start to toughen if cooked more than medium rare.
  • Remove venison from the pan and place on a cutting board to rest while you prepare the sauce. Lightly toast the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin in the pan. Add the stock and the wine. Whisk in the mustard and thyme. Cook on medium high until the liquid has reduced to a scant 1/2 cup, just about covering the bottom of the pan. Lower heat and whisk in the butter bit by bit. Add additional salt if desired. Stir in the reserved bacon and shallots.
  • Slice the rack into individual chops between the bones and arrange on a platter. Spoon the sauce with the shallots and bacon over the meat and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality venison chops: Look for chops that are a deep red color and have a firm texture. Avoid chops that are brown or have a slimy texture.
  • Marinade the chops: Marinating the chops in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize and flavor them. Marinate the chops for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
  • Cook the chops over medium heat: Cooking the chops over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. Cook the chops for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the chops rest before serving: Letting the chops rest for a few minutes before serving will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

Baked venison chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your venison chops are cooked to perfection and are packed with flavor. Serve the chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
