Venison Steaks with Juniper Berry and Fiery Red Chili Sauce

CHILI SAUCE
2 tablespoon Dried Juniper berries
3 cup Dry red wine
2 Bay leaves
1 1/2 tsp Dried thyme
2 Shallots, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 cup Veal stock
4 Whole dried chiles de arbol

VENISON STEAK
6 Venison steaks, 8 to 10 oz. each
2 tablespoon Olive oil
1 tablespoon Salt
1 tablespoon Black pepper

Yield: 6 servings

To make the sauce, wrap the juniper berries in a kitchen towel and crush them using a heavy skillet or mallet. Remove them from the towel and place them in a saucepan with the red wine, bay leaves, thyme, and shallots. Simmer over medium heat about 20 minutes, until the liquid has reduced to 1 cup.

Add the Veal Stock and simmer over medium heat another 15 minutes, until the sauce has reduced to 1 1/2 cups.

While the stock is reducing, place the chiles in a small bowl and remove their stems and seeds. With your fingers, tear the chiles into small pieces, about the size of small beans. Set aside.

Remove the sauce from the heat and pass it through a fine sieve to remove the herb leaves and berry skins.

Heat coals in an open grill to a fiery hot temperature.

Brush each steak on both sides with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Place the steaks on the grill and cook about 3 minutes, until they have charred marks. Rotate.
