Blackened Venison
Posted: Thu Sep 11, 2014 20:13
After cooking some blackened cobia I got in my head the spice mix might work well on venison so I gave it a go and it was excellent and thought I'd share the recipe.
Blackening Spice: Enough for several meals.
1/3 cup paprika
1/3 cup salt
1/4 cup powdered garlic
1/4 cup freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons powdered onion
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons dried thyme
Liberally coat the sliced venison in the seasoning. Bring a heavy skillet to a high heat with a little olive oil and when the oil is nearly smoking toss the pieces of venison on the skillet and leave alone for 3 minutes then flip and cook for another 3 minutes then you are done.
End result is not pretty but is very tender, flavorful and delicious. My wife says it tastes just like filet mignon and she is one who doesn't normally eat venison.
