Two great dishes ~ Be sure to watch the spiciness of your garlic, though. It can literally burn your tongue if you're not careful.

Venison Milanesa with Chimichurri Sauce
Ingredients:
Chimichurri Sauce:
1 bunch cilantro (about 2 c.), chopped
1 – 2 tsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp chopped onion
½ c olive oil
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
Lime juice from ½ lime
Salt to taste
Red Pepper flakes to taste

Milanesa:
1 – 2 pounds venison steaks, tenderized
1 c plain bread crumbs
2 tsp oregano
¼ c flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Salt and Pepper to taste
Olive oil


Directions:
Chimichurri Sauce
***If using fresh garlic, be sure it is not too strong, or sauté it prior to use.***

Coarsely chop cilantro, garlic (if using fresh), and onion.

Place onion and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped or minced. Add cilantro and pulse until finely chopped.

Transfer cilantro, garlic, and onion to a small/medium bowl. Add olive oil, lime juice, vinegar, salt, and red pepper, and stir. Cover and refrigerate for up to a week.

Milanesa:
Tenderize the steaks. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Place flour on a plate, beat two eggs in a shallow dish, and mix bread crumbs and oregano in a separate shallow dish.

Heat ¼ inch olive oil in a heavy skillet.

Dredge the steaks in the flour. Dip steaks in egg. Coat steaks in the bread crumbs.

Place steaks in the oil and fry for 4 – 5 minutes per side until juices run clear and there is no more blood pooling on top of the steaks.

Top Milanesa Steaks with Chimichurri Sauce and serve.
