Venison Tenderloin with Red Wine Jus

Tender, succulent venison paired with a rich, savory red wine jus makes a luxurious holiday main course. The structured blackberry and dark chocolate notes of the Raymond Cabernet Sauvignon North Coast 2023 enhance the depth of the meat and jus, creating an elegant and festive pairing perfect for special occasions.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb venison tenderloin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 cup beef or veal stock
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cold
  • Fresh thyme sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season venison with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear venison on all sides until browned, about 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to oven and roast for 10–12 minutes for medium-rare. Remove meat and let rest.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté shallots until translucent. Deglaze with red wine, scraping up browned bits, and reduce by half.
  4. Add stock and simmer until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and whisk in cold butter to finish the jus.
  5. Slice venison and serve with red wine jus, garnished with thyme sprigs, alongside a glass of Raymond Cabernet Sauvignon

Serves 4.
