Venison Carpaccio Recipe
Yields8 Servings
Prep Time12 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time22 mins
 1.2 kg Boneless short loin venison
 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
 Sea salt and black pepper
 Handful of the herb cress
 Handful Italian parsley
 4 Radishes sliced
 ¼ cup Blackberries
 ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, shaved
 Drizzle Balsamic
 Extra virgin Olive oil
1

Use a very sharp knife to remove all the fat, all silver skin and sinew from the meat. Brush with olive oil generously all over then season with salt and black pepper.

2

Heat a large frying pan over very high heat. Once the pan is smoking sear the venison in until brown all over, about 5 seconds on each side. Remove from the pan and rest on a plate to cool

3

Once cool, tightly wrap the meat in cling film and place it in the freezer for 30 minutes — this will make it much easier to slice finely.

4

Thinly slice the venison with a sharp carving knife and arrange on a platter. (You can cut it with the clingfilm on, then discard after.) Top with cress, parsley, radishes, shaved parmesan and blackberries. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil.
