How to Make Venison Chops With Mushroom Sauce

  1. Pat 4 (1-inch thick) venison chops dry with paper towels.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dried marjoram on each side of the chops.
  4. Sear the chops for 4-5 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  5. Transfer the chops to a heated platter and keep warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven.
  6. **Prepare the Mushroom Sauce:**
  7. In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
  8. Add 8 ounces of sliced cremini mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened.
  9. Pour in 1/2 cup of dry red wine (such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot) and increase heat to high for 2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
  10. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  11. Pour the mushroom mixture into the skillet used for the chops. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan (fond) to add depth of flavor.
  12. Spoon the sauce generously over the venison chops and serve immediately.
