Bourbon Butter Venison Steak Tips #SundaySupper

Pieces of Venison served in a Bourbon Butter Sauce that just melt in your mouth! That is what these Bourbon Butter Venison Steak Tips are! Melt in your mouth delicious. Not to mention that the Bourbon knocks your socks off with the flavor it imparts!

When I read that #SundaySupper was going to be sharing recipes with ingredients that are hunted or foraged this week I knew I would be participating. After all, look at my header! Grumpy is a huge hunter and we always have venison in our freezer!

I wanted to do something I had never done and I wanted something that would have amazing flavor. While I love all types of booze in my cooking and baking, I really had never used bourbon before so I decided to try it out on a recipe I found in Cooks Country and adapted it slightly to fit what I had for ingredients and swapped the venison for the beef.

I served this as a meal with a Chipotle Mashed Potato recipe and Roasted Asparagus. These also could be an appetizer! Loved it and will definitely make this again!

*TIP FROM GRUMPY* - when prepping your venison, it pays to take the time to trim the meat and removing any silverskin. This helps remove some of the "gaminess" of the meat. I ususally make Grumpy do this because it is a tedious job!
