ingredients
- 1 (1 1/4 lb) rack of cervena venison, trimmed
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped thyme
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley
- 1⁄2 teaspoon finely chopped sage
- 1⁄2 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
- 1⁄2 teaspoon finely chopped tarragon
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 2 teaspoons cracked black peppercorns
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 cups total mixture of varietal mushrooms (morel, shiitake, champignons porcini)
directions
- Tie rack between every second cutlet to help retain its shape.
- Roast mushrooms in butter or oil in hot oven until they are almost dry.
- Brush Cervena venison lightly with oil and sear quickly in pan or on grill to seal in natural juices.
- Dry off excess oil with a towel.
- When cooled, brush with mustard, which can be mixed with butter or oil for a smooth, even coating.
- Roll meat in herb and mushroom mixture, evenly coating all sides.
- Place in roasting pan. Cook in oven preheated to 400°F/200°C for approximately 12 minutes for rare meat or longer if desired.
- Remove, cover with foil and let stand 10–12 minutes to evenly disperse heat throughout the meat.
- If served rare, it should be a rose pink color when carved.
- Serve immediately.
- Note: I've never actually made this with the rack as called for but I thought I should leave it in the original version for posting. I have however made this with a venison roast and it come's out great. Roasts however, do take longer than the 12 minutes posted here.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My name is Ami and I share my home with my husband, Carey, our two small sons, James and Charles and our daughters Meradydd (it's pronounced Meradith)and Kathrynn. Until recently, I was a Specialist in the National Guard. I'm pretty eclectic in my studies and I've learned a lot becuase of that since I don't limit myself. Right now I'm taking classes for animal care. I've also been studying a lot about herbalism and really enjoy learning about that. My mother and I also run a home based business for natural soap, balms, etc. We use only the most the natural ingredients available. I'm also a Mary Kay consultant. Busy, huh? :D I love to read and learn new things. My husband says our books will be the death of us. LOL. I love to cook and experiment. I also like to take walks, rain or not.
