Let's Get Started
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Season the venison loin with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the venison and sear on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer the venison to the oven and roast for 10-15 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
- While the venison is roasting, make the berry jus. Combine the mixed berries, red wine, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Simmer the berry mixture until it reduces by half, about 10 minutes.
- Strain the berry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the berries to extract all the juice. Return the juice to the saucepan.
- Add the butter to the berry juice and whisk until it's fully incorporated.
- Slice the venison and serve it with the berry jus.
