Venison stir fry and red pepper sauce recipe, deer rump cut bite size briefly sauteed with red wine and red peppercorn sauce, festive and delicious!
For this quick stir fry recipe, I bought a cut of deer rump, it is lean and tender enough, you could also use sirloin or flank steak. I cut it in small strips and briefly pan fried it.
Then I made a simple red wine sauce and added a few pink peppercorns. I love pink peppercorns so much that I got a little carried away and put many, it did not disturb me one bit but my son thought there were too many, so it is up to you to decide how many to add, you can also leave them out if you prefer.
Pink peppercorn is a kind of berry, it is rather fruity and not hot at all as is white or black pepper.
You can serve this stir fry with noodles, rice, grits or puree, anything that is so good with gravy.
