Venison steak a la Paul

4 venison steaks, 3/8 - 1/2" thick (butterflyed fillets are awesome)
2 tblsp olive oil
1 medium oninion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 cup of red wine
1 tblsp tomatoe paste
1 tblsp beef soup base
1 tblsp butter
salt & pepper

Preheat the oven to its lowest setting (mine is 170F). Rub salt and pepper into the steaks. Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan - don't use non-stick. When the oil is hot, add the steaks and sear them for no more than 45 seconds per side. Transfer them to a baking dish and place them in the oven. Turn down the heat on the frying pan and add more oil if necessary. Add the onions and cook them slowly until they are brown, being careful not to burn them. Add the garlic. Raise the heat to high and add the red wine. Stir it around to deglaze the pan. Add the tomatoe paste and beef base. Let this reduce to about half.

Remove the steaks from the oven. They should have rendered some juice. Stir this juice into the sauce. Add the butter. Return the steaks to the frying pan and spoon some of the sauce over the top and let them sit there for a minute or two.

This sauce is rich, so go easy. Serve it with something bland like plain rice or steamed potatoes and a nice loaf of crusty bread.

Pasta con Funghi e Prosciuto

This is a killer pasta dish. Translation is "pasta with mushrooms and Italian cured ham" (prosciuto). This stuff is expensive, but it's really good. Have the deli cut it thick, from 1/8-3/16". They might look at you funny but insist.

10-12 Oz Pasta (I like penine regate)
1 cup of chopped mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped prosciuto
2 tblsp olive oil
3/4 cup heavy cream (35%)
1 tblsp tomato paste
2 tblsp butter
zest of one lemon, finely chopped

Boil the water for the pasta, be sure to salt it and cook the pasta according to the package directions. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and add the mushrooms and the prosciuto. Fry until most of the water from the mushrooms has evaporated. Reduce the heat and add the cream and the tomato paste. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Strain the pasta and return to the pot. Add the butter and the sauce. Stir to coat pasta. Place in serving bowls and sprinkle some of the lemon zest on each. This is what makes the dish, and unfortuneatly it is the easiest step to forget.

Re: Drunken Camerones De Ajo

These Drunken shrimp are great! And, it is very simple.

1 lb medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 head garlic, minced coarsely
White Tequila

Place the shrimp in a medium sized fry pan. Sprinkle garlic over shrimp. Pour white tequila over, until shrimp are almost covered.

Let marinate up to 30 minutes(no longer than 30 though; the flavor is too harsh from tequilla).

Bring to a slow simmer; simmer until shrimp are cooked through.

We like to serve over wild rice or pasta. We like garlic... Adjust to your tastes.
