500g Extra Special Rack of Venison, French trimmed

½ tbsp rapeseed oil

20g Dijon mustard

80g ground pistachio nuts

250ml Extra Special Beef Concentrate

2 heaped tbsp Extra Special Redcurrant Sauce with Port

20g unsalted butter

½ tbsp olive oil, plus ½ tbsp for croutons

Slices of white bread

1 tbsp parsley, chopped

Vegetables, to serve

Method

1
Pre-heat oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
2
Season meat. Heat olive oil in a large pan and sear the meat. Brush the meat with Dijon mustard and coat with the nuts.
3
Put in oven for 25-30 minutes for rare; 30-40 minutes for well done. Take the meat out, cover with foil and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, put the beef concentrate in a pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, then add redcurrant sauce and butter. Cook for 5 minutes.
5
Use a pastry cutter to make shapes from the bread. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and cook bread on both sides until golden. Leave to cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
