Serves: 2

Ingredients:
9 oz. (250g) venison, cut into two steak pieces
1 & 3/4 oz. (50g)oyster mushrooms
2 tbsp of rice wine vinegar
1 tsp of mustard powder
2 heaped tablespoon of miso
1 & 3/4 oz. (50g) watercress

Directions
1. Place a large frying pan on a high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Season both sides of the venison with a good pinch of salt. Add a knob of butter, the pan should sizzle.

2. Place your venison in the pan and brown on all sides, allow to get a deep brown color on all sides (approx. 30 to 45 seconds on each side). When done, leave to rest on the side for 5 minutes.

3. In the same pan bring back to a high heat, add a knob of butter and add the mushrooms. Season with a pinch of salt and couple of twists of peppers. Leave them to caramelize in the pan (approx. 1 to 2 minutes per side).

4. When cooked turn off the pan and add the rice wine vinegar to the pan.

5. In a small mixing bowl add the mustard powder, 2 teaspoon of water and the miso and mix well to form into a sauce.

6. Carve the venison into 1cm, ½ inch thick slices. Place the venison on a plate, dress with the miso sauce, pickled mushrooms and a scattering of watercress.
