Alsatian Venison is a classic French dish that features tender venison loin and a rich red wine jus. The dish is typically served with egg noodles, but can also be served with potatoes or root vegetables. Venison is a lean and healthy meat that is grass-fed and free-range, making it a great choice for those looking for a protein-rich and flavorful alternative to beef or pork. The red wine jus adds a tangy and aromatic element to the dish, making it a comforting and indulgent meal to be enjoyed on special occasions.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2.In a bowl, whisk together the pinot noir wine and grainy mustard. Place the venison loin in a baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Pour the wine mixture over the venison.
3.Cook the venison for 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium rare. Remove the venison from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing it.
4.While the venison is resting, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and toss with butter and walnut oil.
5.In a medium saucepan, toast the peppercorns until fragrant. Add the ginger and shallots and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken or veal stock and bring to a simmer. Add the cream, cinnamon, red currant jelly, and red wine vinegar. Simmer over low heat until the sauce has thickened.
6.Serve the sliced venison over the noodles and spoon the sauce over the top.
