Ingredients:
500g New Zealand venison tenderloin
3 tbsp peanut oil
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
750ml red wine
3 bottles of port wine
750ml meat stock
200g foie gras
200g poultry liver
Salt & pepper
100g fresh peas
50ml veal stock
1 carrot
50g black truffle
50ml champagne
150g pearl onion
5 juniper berries
STEP-BY-STEP
Step 1
Pour 750 ml each of red wine, port wine, and meat stock in a pan for the sauce and let it reduce until it has a syrup-like texture. Prepare the liver crème by, sautéing the foie gras and the poultry liver separately. Do not keep the fat. Season them with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Reduce 750 ml port to approx. 100 ml and add the diced liver. Purée the mixture and strain through a fine sieve to get a fine, smooth crème. Prepare the pea purée by briefly blanching the fresh peas in boiling salt water; if you use frozen peas, let them thaw. Purée the peas with the veal stock and season them with salt and pepper.
Step 3 Cut the carrot in thin strips using an asparagus peeler. Blanch briefly in boiling salt water and quench in ice water. Make small rolls and place them on a plate. Place them in the oven on low temperature to keep them warm. Boil the truffles in 50 ml champagne and 50 ml port for approximately one hour in a covered pan. Remove from the brew and cut into small dice.
Step 4
Peel the pearl onion and roast them in a pan with a bit of peanut oil. Deglaze with 500 ml port. Add three juniper berries and let it boil for approx. 20 minutes with the lid on.
Step 5
Salt the venison tenderloin lightly and brush with the olive oil. Vacuum it together with two juniper berries. Place the meat in your sous vide water bath at 60 °C for one hour. Remove it from the bag, pad dry, and briefly sear it in a pan with a bit of peanut oil briefly on high temperature on both sides. Mix in the meat juice with the marinated pearl onions.
Step 6
Cut the tenderloin obliquely and portion on four plates. Add a dollop of pea purée and liver crème each. Arrange the carrot rolls and pearl onions. Pour the sauce around the arrangement and place the diced truffles on the liver crème.
