Ingredients
  • 1 pack Venison leg medallions
  • 1 whole head of garlic, minced
  • 3-4 tbsps ghee butter
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 3-4 calamansi, juiced
DIRECTIONS
Step 1

Rinse medallions with cold water and pat dry. Then cube into bite-size pieces.

Step 2

Generously season meat with salt and pepper. Then heat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Melt 2 Tbsps of ghee butter. Add medallions making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Allow meat to sit, brown, and build seared crust on all sides, about 2-3 minutes. Remove meat from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Next, add 1 Tbsp of ghee butter and minced garlic to the pan, stirring garlic continuously to avoid burning, until slightly golden. Add more ghee butter, if needed.

Step 5

Then add the meat along with any meat juices, back into the pan and mix with garlic-ghee butter until well combined. Remove from pan onto a serving dish.

Step 5

Squeeze calamansi juice and salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with a choice of starch or fresh greens. Enjoy!
