Honey-Mustard Venison Chops
Ingredients
  • 4 six-ounce boneless venison chops
  • salt and pepper
  • 3 tablespoons tapioca flour
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or clarified butter, divided
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
Instructions
  1. Season the chops lightly with salt and pepper; dredge in the tapioca flour and shake to remove any excess.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the ghee in a heavy skillet over high heat. Sear the venison chops - tops, bottoms and sides - until a brown crust has formed, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil.
  3. Add the remaining ghee to the pan and reduce the heat to medium; add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat and add the apple cider; bring to a boil and stir in the mustard and honey. Reduce the heat again and add the rosemary; simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture is reduced by half, 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Return the chops to the pan and spoon the sauce over the top. Remove from the heat; cover and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
