This is a great recipe, super easy and really tasty. The only thing I changed was I fried in leftover bacon grease rather than oil. I liked how sweet it was. I used butterfly steaks and a halved tenderized heart and it tasted great with both. I will do this one again, thanks! Made for PAC Spring 2012.

I made this last night and the family loved it -- even my daughter who isn't crazy about venison. I cut the brown sugar in half and thought the sweetness factor was just right. It doesnt' say when to add the garlic in the recipe, so I put it in with the meat -- worked fine. It makes a thick sauce, so the cornstarch could probably be reduced just a bit. Very flavorful and satisfying dish. Thanks!
