1

Slice the venison back strap into medallions and pound them out to about 1/4 inch thickness.

2

Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the cutlets, dusting them lightly without excess flour.

3

Preheat the oven to 175°F and prepare a baking sheet with paper towels to keep the cooked cutlets warm.

4

Heat lard in a large cast iron skillet until hot enough that flour sizzles when sprinkled in.

5

Add the cutlets to the skillet, cooking for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

6

Remove the cooked cutlets and place them on the baking sheet to drain excess oil.

7

In the same skillet, add mushrooms and onions, sautéing until softened.

8

Add red wine to the skillet and bring to a boil.

9

Pour in 1 cup of chicken stock and add a pinch of caraway seed and celery seed, stirring to combine.

10

Let the mixture cook down for 4-5 minutes until reduced by about half.

11

Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of goat cheese as a substitute for sour cream, mixing until well combined.
