WHAT YOU NEED:
A large frying pan for the vegetables
Cooking tongs to turn the vegetables
Ingredients
600-800g (1 1/4 – 1 3/4lb) venison steak, thick-cut
85g (3oz) smoked streaky bacon, cut into pieces
2 large thick and peeled carrots
2 slim leeks
2 courgettes
1 crushed clove of garlic
1 tablespoon of finely chopped or sliced fresh ginger
Zest of 1/2 a lemon or lime
Juice of 1 lemon or lime
A handful of chopped coriander or parsley
Directions
- First, gently fry the bacon until it is golden brown, then reserve and keep it warm.
- Next, cut the leeks in 15cm (6in) lengths, discarding the outer and top leaves. Remove the root and slice it in 4 lengthways to create fine strips as instead of rings. Wash thoroughly and pat dry.
- Get your carrots and a potato peeler and slice off thin ribbons lengthways. As you slice, rotate the carrot to create as long a strip as you can.
- Repeat exactly the same procedure with your courgettes as you did with the carrots.
- Sweat your leeks, garlic and ginger in oil oat a low heat, whilst turning gently with your tongs until they are soft.
- Continue to cook gently and then add the carrot slices, turning them carefully with the tongs until they are soft.
- Add in the courgette and the lime zest and cook for a further minute until the courgette becomes translucent. (be careful not to overcook or the ribbons will start to break up)
- Stir in the lemon /lime juice and keep warm
- Cook your venison steak rare to medium- see here for instructions
Notes
- Serving up: To serve this dish put the vegetables and their juices into a large, warm dish or serve up onto plates. Get your venison steak and thinly slice and pile on top of the vegetables. Finally, sprinkle the bacon and the parsley/coriander on top and voila! Finally, sit down, eat and enjoy!
