Garlic Butter Venison Chops with Roasted Butternut Squash

Though butter is usually seen as unhealthy, butter is great at bringing flavor, and oil is important for a healthy diet. I roasted my squash plain and served them as they came out with just a spoon to remove the cooked flesh inside. The chops and pasta were easy to make and were ready with less than 20 minutes of active cooking. In the recipe below, you’ll see I used pre-minced garlic stored in oil. It is important to note that with the quantity given. Garlic stored in oil still has a garlic flavor but it is much weaker than fresh garlic. If you use fresh garlic, 1/2 a clove will be more than enough to get the garlic flavor without scaring off anyone who may have to be around you! I cooked 4 venison chops with this recipe, so there were 4 servings. If you would want to cook 6-8 servings, adjust the recipe accordingly.

Steak Fajitas

Advertisements

Fajitas are delicious and very easy to make. I made these tortillas too, which only took another 20-25 minutes. I halved this recipe and made 8 tortillas instead of making 10, but this recipe makes enough filling for 10 six to eight inch tortillas. This recipe is very easy, and if you wanted to, you could also make this dish without the steak, and it would be just as good. Otherwise the recipe is what I made. My spices are a bit on the weak side, so you might need to reduce the amount of Cumin and Cayenne. This recipe makes 3-5 servings since 2-3 Fajitas is enough to feed one adult.

Overnight Oats: Chocolate

Advertisements

I have made several different recipes for overnight oats, but if you are feeling like a bit of a treat for the week, than these chocolate oats are a good option. The honey helps sweeten the oats, however it’s not super sweet. Easily made the night before serving, this is a great option for someone single or a family that doesn’t have time to cook in the morning. This recipe makes 3-4 adult sized servings.

Venison Stroganoff Over Noodles

Advertisements

Stroganoff is always a warming dinner option and it’s so easy to make. This isn’t the first time I’ve posted a stroganoff recipe but every time it’s something new! This time, I cubed a venison tenderloin. The trick with this recipe is making sure everything gets hot while also trying not to over cook your meat. The easiest way to do that is to just keep moving forward with the steps; don’t waste all your time on step one when there is still step two. I also used the leftover onions and mushrooms from my ramen, so I didn’t need to cook them long or add much seasoning since it also included some of the ramen flavoring and garlic. This recipe made 4 adult sized servings.

Pork Ramen

Advertisements

Ramen is a classic Japanese dish that is flavorful and incredibly filling. Ramen has 3 main elements, the broth, the noodles, and the toppings. all three elements add flavor to the dish and make a bowl of ramen what it is. And though the broth and the noodles bring amazing flavor to the dish, the toppings are the real star of the show. For this bowl, I used red pepper flakes, sesame oil, and fish sauce. The red pepper flakes made this dish interesting. It started out tame in flavor, but the more that the flake got moved around the broth and dish, there was a surprise heat in some bites, while none in others. In the same way, the oils would be present in one bite, and absent in another. The rich savory toasty flavor of the sesame oil and the smooth slightly fishy flavor of the fish sauce, brought depth to the dish and great flavor. Other than that, my pork broth was a bit weak, so I added some beef bouillon and 1/2 a chicken ramen packet (as my MSG). I also used the leftover homemade noodles I had posted about yesterday. Since they were already cooked from then, i simply had to boil them for 3 minutes to heat up, then I strained them and plated. This recipe makes 3 large bowls of Ramen, and it heats up well the next day.

Strain off the water and just cover the bones with water and simmer for 4 hours covered. Reserve the broth and discard the bones. Save any meat that may have stuck to the bones and add to the broth. Store in fridge covered or use immediately.

2. Begin by cooking the pork chops in a large skillet. Cook 3 minutes per side, remove from pan, and cut into strips to top the ramen. Fill a large sauce pan 3/4 with water. Place over medium high heat to boil. Add the broth to the hot skillet, and add in the onion, garlic, and optional beef bouillon and MSG. Once simmering, add mushrooms, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, and ginger. Taste, then season as needed. Once the water is boiling, cook pasta as directed on package. Strain.

3. Plate the ramen by making a nest of noodles. Top with onions and mushrooms and place a cut pork chop over the top. Cover with broth. Finally, sprinkle each bowl with pepper flakes, chives, and parsley, then drizzle with sesame oil and fish sauce.
