Serves 4 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Rack of deer
1 (about 2 pounds)
Salt
1 teaspoon, or to taste
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
Fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons, finely chopped
Fresh thyme
1 tablespoon, finely chopped
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
Olive oil
2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Generously season the rack of deer with salt and pepper on all sides.
  3. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the rack of deer.
  4. Sear the rack on all sides until a golden-brown crust has formed, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium, and add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary and thyme to the skillet. Sauté the herbs and garlic for about a minute until fragrant.
  6. With the rack of deer still in the skillet, transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for approximately 20-25 minutes for a medium-rare finish, or adjust the time according to your desired level of doneness.
  7. Remove the skillet from the oven (remember, the handle will be hot). Let the rack of deer rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  8. Slice the rack into individual chops along the bone. Serve immediately and enjoy this exquisite dish.

Tips

  • 💡 Remember to let your rack of deer come to room temperature before cooking. This helps ensure even cooking.
  • 💡 The use of a meat thermometer is recommended to achieve the desired level of doneness.
