Venison in a Blackberry Thyme-Sauce
I haven’t made this very often because venison isn’t widely available in the San Francisco Bay Area. But when it is, I buy it and use this recipe. You don’t have to be experienced at cooking venison to make this dish. You just brown the meat on all sides in your skillet then transfer it to the oven for 20 minutes or so. After that, it’s just making the blackberry-thyme sauce while the venison roasts in the oven.

I love cooking a porterhouse because it gets you both a filet mignon and a New York strip steak. Just add salt, pepper and butter! A more rustic dinner than the steak au poivre. It's not surprising since the name Porterhouse originated from English pubs that served “Porter” ale. Cutting them into strips enables you to ensure the smaller filet mignon cooks at the same rate as the NY Strip. This recipe says it's for "two", but really this can easily feed four people. Try it with rosemary skillet potatoes and Brussels sprouts .
