Do you believe there is no need for grace once you come to Jesus? If so, you need to read Titus 2:11. Do you who understand that good works did not save you in the past disregard any responsibility for good works in the present? If so, you need to read Ephesians 2:10. Do you think it is all right to sin because we are now living in the age of grace? If so, you need to read Romans 6:1 and 15. Do you think you were saved by grace but now must become like Christ solely through your own efforts? If so, you need to read Galatians 3:3.

INSTRUCTIONS

The venison should be cut into medallions of 3 to 4 ounces, 1/2-inch thick
and 3 inches across. Have all ingredients at the ready as this is a very
quickly cooked saute method and the venison will over cook very quickly.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat
until hot and foaming. Season the medallions with salt and pepper, and lay
them in a single layer in the pan. Depending on the size of your skillet,
you may need to do this in 2 batches. Char or sear quickly on each side for
medium-rare. Place the cooked venison on a warm platter and keep it warm
while you make the pan sauce. Add the chopped shallots to the hot pan and
saute for 2 minutes. Add half the green peppercorns and smash them quickly
with the back of a spoon while sauteing with the shallots. Carefully add
the brandy and de-glaze the pan. Observe caution when adding brandy to a
hot pan and do this away from open flames to avoid flaming the brandy
dangerously. Cook the brandy over low heat for 1 minute before adding the
wine. Reduce the wine by half, add the stock, bring quickly to the boil and
then swsirl in the cream for 1 minute. Add the medallions back to the
finished sauce along with the remaining psppercorns and re-heat for 1
minute. Serve immediately. This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
