Note

To ensure even cooking, check the internal temperature of the venison with a meat thermometer; aim for 130ðF for medium-rare.

If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or broth to reach the desired consistency.

For extra flavor, you can add a splash of red wine or brandy to the sauce along with the orange juice.

Serve immediately with roasted potatoes, steamed greens, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove.
