SV Venison Medallions with Blue Cheese Chioggia Beets

[hikerman]

Yesterday 2 venison medallions were seasoned with sea salt and vac sealed. They were cooked at 130F for 5 hrs. When done they were seared for 45 seconds a side on a very hot iron pan. The pan was deglazed using red wine, reduced and cooking juices added with S & P. This was reduced and drizzled over the venison.
   The yellow candy-striped beets were roasted, peeled and sliced. EVOO was drizzled atop then a bit of balsamic was added. Next crumbled blue cheese topped these sweet beets. They were served with garlic roasted potatoes and a nice bottle of zinfandel wine. It was all very tasty and the venison was fork tender!
Cheers!

Pam maybe try a white cheddar, you could even throw a few crumbled walnuts on top as well.

Ahron the venison here doesn't taste very gamey because of all the corn that is grown in the midwest. It's like beef with a mild wang! The flavors go well together.

Pam it might but it's very salty, which might take away the sweetness from the beets.
