Good weeknight dish, great way to sneak in vegetables. Used venison tenderloin (cut into large bite-size pieces) instead of marketing-jacked-up-price blade steak, and frozen green beans and cauliflower, thawed during prep time. It tasted very good, although the venison overcooked due to 5 minutes extra time necessary to cook still partially frozen veggies. The spices didn't have time to blend together perfectly. Next time I would: 1) chop the cauliflower so finely that it would just become part of the sauce; 2) cut the venison into even larger chunks; 3) completely thaw the veggies prior to cooking. I doubled the recipe, using 1 can of drained of diced tomatoes, amounting to 256g instead of 290g. I would move direction 4 above direction 3. It seemed odd to cut my 200g squash into 8 pieces rather than slicing coins, given the finer dicing of the other veggies; is that what you intended? DH said the spiciness was perfect.
